Approach
Use the strong points of bipolar cultures:
TV world:
proprietary standards, restricted access, paid content
Web world:
open standards, universal access, free content

Goals
Integrating TV & Web with help of semantics
Using semantics (linked open data) to open and interlink TV content in a Web fashion
Putting the user back in the driving seat
Using semantics to connect the multitude of distributed personal data
TV is not bound to the device
Computer as TV & vice versa
Mobile device as remote control

High-level architecture

Use of Linked Open Data (LOD)
DBPedia, Freebase, WordNet(s), TV genre typologies, TV Anytime, BBC Programme ontology, (constantly growing list)
Expose TV metadata as Semantic Web data
Use LOD concepts for metadata enrichment
Publish NoTube additions as extension to LOD
Combine and align Web & TV standards (public broadcasters)

Facebook Open Graph is an attempt to map all the complex interactions existing between you, your friends and the content you all like = mapping your interests and cross-interests.

User Activity Streams
Standard representation
based on OpenSocial
Access services to
YouTube, Twitter, ….
Challenges
trusted access to “friend” information
implementation of standard like O a uth 2.o?

Activity Streams http://xmlns.notu.be/aair/

User Profiling
Services for generating user preferences
“ Beancounter”
abstractions from activity stream
User-model representation based on FOAF
Aggregation of activities and context data
Derive interests from this data
Granular control for users

FOAF (Friend-of-a-Friend)

Weighted Interests http://xmlns.notu.be/wi

Weighted Interests

Personalization & Recommenders
Collaborative recommenders, e.g.
preferences of friends; group recommendations
Content-based recommenders, e.g.
program about Marylin Monroe  Arthur Miller
cross-domain recommendations
Cold start, over-specialization
Surface programs of interest in the ‘long tail’
