1. A multimedia data organization process comprising:
providing a single instantiated ontology comprising (i) generic individuals, (ii) generic semantic links between the generic individuals, wherein the generic individuals and the generic semantic links between the generic individuals form a basic organization structure, and (iii) contingent individuals and contingent semantic links, each contingent semantic link respectively linking a contingent individual and a generic individual, wherein each contingent individual represents multimedia data; receiving a choice of at least one selected individual, wherein the at least one selected individual is one or more of a generic individual from the instantiated ontology, a contingent individual from the instantiated ontology, or a combination of a generic and a contingent individual from the instantiated ontology; and in response to receiving the choice, selecting and organizing a subset of multimedia data corresponding to the contingent individuals of the instantiated ontology as a function of at least one of a selection rule or an organization rule, wherein the at least one of a selection rule or an organization rule engages the at least one selected individual and semantic links related to the at least one selected individual.
