The project week is led by Lynda Hardman, and runs from 25th February to 1st March 2013.
NOTE: This web page is dynamic and will change slightly throughout the week.
Large amounts of video are available on the Web and tools
are becoming available to automatically provide annotations, or
meaningful tags, which provide pointers to concepts on the Semantic Web.
How can we produce annotations on the video?
How can we find meaningful relations among these annotations?
How can we make use of these meaningful relations to present the
(links in the)
video to the user in an appropriate way?
Can we control the interaction using a second screen?
09:30 Introducing LinkedTV and goals of project week
This should include:
09:30 Wake up video
New
HTML5 video technologies for the future of TV by Silvia Pfeiffer.

Lunch break 12:30-13:30
09:30 Prepare presentation. The presentation should last for 10-15 minutes, divided (roughly) as follows:
You are representatives of a start-up company that is
developing automated interactive video technology. You
are asked to develop a design for a client and present the
core innovations to them.
The example news domain should not be seen as restrictive.
News scenario
A news agency wants to provide personalised access to multiple
national and international news feeds to allow subscribers to:
On the basis of your chosen scenario create an application design. Document the desired functionality and the modelling needed throughout the application. Explain the required underlying domain and/or discourse semantics. Be aware that while the semantic relations are necessary for supplying the functionality, the user does not need to be aware, and perhaps should not be aware, of them. How much explicit semantics to expose to the end-user is one of the design decisions that should be documented.
Potential functionality to include:
marking presented topics as interesting;
pre-selecting preferences.
The report is a means of conveying your design to a client. In the report, explain the reasoning behind the design as folows.
Technical requirements of report:
Publish your report on a web page and email a single URL to Lynda.Hardman@cwi.nl before 09:00 Monday 4th March 2013. Include the names of the people in the group both in the email and in the report.
These show interesting interfaces:
These are more oriented to search.
Vox Populi, a system for generating video sequences based on argument structures that uses explicit representation of argumentation structure.
How Will We Interact with the Web of Data? by Tom Heath.
Semantic Web Challenge, in particular the 2008 winner paggr.
Wordnet is an
existing English language thesaurus from
Princeton that has been converted to RDF.
Dublin Core
(DC), VRA
Core are vocabularies for describing resources. VRA Core is
specialised for works of visual culture as well as the images
that document them.
SKOS, Simple
Knowledge Organisation System, is a family of formal languages,
built on RDF and RDFS, designed for the representation of
structured controlled vocabularies, such as thesauri or
classification schemes.
FOAF
(Friend of a Friend) a means of creating links among people on
the Web, also the FOAF project, in particular the explorer.
These are some links that may not be useful now for the course, but are useful resources about relevant topics.
