An analysis of GeniUS showed it can construct complete Twitter-based profiles and derive domain-specific profiles from social activities to support personalized recommendations.
This document discusses the future of television in the context of the ubiquitous web. It presents three use cases: personalized semantic news, a personalized TV guide with adaptive advertising, and internet TV in the social web. It proposes solutions like web service-based metadata exchange and user modeling in distributed environments. The goals are to demonstrate personalized selection of TV content using web services, shift digital entertainment to a community-based experience, and realize distributed personalization across interactive devices.
Modern learning models require linking experiences in training environments with experiences in the real-world. However, data about real-world experiences is notoriously hard to collect. Social spaces bring new opportunities to tackle this challenge, supplying digital traces where people talk about their real-world experiences. These traces can become valuable resource, especially in ill-defined domains that embed multiple interpretations. The paper presents a unique approach to aggregate content from social spaces into a semantic-enriched data browser to facilitate informal learning in ill-defined domains. This work pioneers a new way to exploit digital traces about real-world experiences as authentic examples in informal learning contexts. An exploratory study is used to determine both strengths and areas needing attention. The results suggest that semantics can be successfully used in social spaces for informal learning – especially when combined with carefully designed nudges.

This document discusses building a social portal using IBM Portal and Connections. It describes how a social portal can provide a consistent user experience, act as a collaboration hub by surfacing social content from Connections, and display appropriate social content contextually to users. Key benefits of a social portal include faster responses to customers/employees, knowledge sharing and usage, increased customer loyalty and engagement, easier access for new users through communities, and improved productivity. The document outlines how IBM Portal provides dynamic, personalized multichannel web experiences while IBM Connections enables social collaboration through features like profiles, communities, files, and activities. Together they can power a contextual, socially-infused, personalized portal.
The document discusses emerging trends in media consumption and participation. It notes that consumers are spending increasing amounts of time engaged with online media like social networks, videos, and user reviews rather than traditional media like television and newspapers. Brands are experimenting with new ways of engaging consumers online through user-generated content, virtual worlds, and social networks. The key takeaway is that consumers now demand more choice, control, and participation in their media experiences.
DashMash: a Mashup Environment for End User DevelopmentMatteo Picozzi
Web mashups are a new generation of applications based on the “composition” of ready-to-use services. In different contexts, ranging from the consumer Web to Enterprise systems, the potential of this new technology is to make users evolve from passive receivers of applications to actors actively involved in the “creation of innovation”. Enabling end users to self-define applications that satisfy their situational needs is emerging as an important new requirement. In this paper, we address the current lack of lightweight development processes and environments and discuss models, methods, and technologies that can make mashups a technology for end user development.

It addresses challenges in data organization, sharing, personalization, privacy, and provenance through features like RDF modeling, relational modeling, rules, semantic templates and forms, annotation extensions, and remote querying of multiple wikis.
The document discusses semantic lifting for content management systems. Semantic lifting refers to associating content items with semantic metadata to make implicit metadata explicit. It involves semantic reengineering of structured data and semantic enhancement of unstructured content through information extraction and classification. Requirements for semantic lifting include generating semantic associations, harmonizing metadata, enabling semantic linking of content, and allowing customization.
Archives on the Web and users expectations: towards a convergence with digita...Pierluigi Feliciati
This document discusses the lack of convergence between archives available online and digital libraries, which tend to have a more user-centric approach. It notes that archives online currently focus more on material provenance rather than user needs. The document advocates applying methods from human-computer interaction and user studies to better understand users and improve the usability and output of archive interfaces. As a case study, it describes a project in Italy that applied such techniques, including focus groups and expert evaluations, to develop a prototype archive portal with the goal of being more intuitive and satisfying for users.

Integrating digital traces into a semantic enriched dataDhaval Thakker
The document discusses integrating digital traces from social media into a semantic-enriched data cloud for informal learning. It outlines a processing pipeline that collects digital traces, semantically augments them using ontologies, and allows browsing and interaction through a semantic query service. An exploratory study on job interviews found that authentic examples from digital traces were useful learning stimuli but could be mistaken as norms without context. Semantic technologies provide opportunities to organize digital traces for informal learning but further work is needed to fully realize this potential.

6. SEMANTICALLY STRUCTURED
ANNOTATIONS
User should be able to create knowledge graphs where web content
fragments, concepts and entities are meaningfully connected.
SDA 2012 Pundit: Semantically Structured Annotations for Web Contents... m.grassi@univpm.it
7. SEMANTICALLY STRUCTURED
ANNOTATIONS
• Rely on controlled vocabularies and ontologies
• share the same terminology and “talk about the same things”
• annotations can be meaningfully mashed-up
• Link to the emerging Web of Data
• a software can automatically get additional, useful semantic data (e.g. date and place of
birth, pictures, citations, multi-language data)
Augmenting the information
of the annotation and of the
original content to support
smarter application behaviors!
Ex. We have discovered that the two
images contain american film actors
showing anger emotion!

<img src="http://example.org/pictires/pictire123.png" />
• Same content in different pages <p><em>Caption:</em> this is a caption.</p>
</div>
• Some part of the page should not be
annotated (menu, ...)
• Specific markup can be added in the
pages to allows Pundit:
• identifying atomic pieces of content (by
means of URI)
• attaching the annotations to such
contents
• avoid the annotation of page accessory
