TRL 6 – technology demonstrated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies) |
Linked Open Data, are complex structures to be understood if you just access to them for their exploitation and reuse. Linked Open Graph is a tool for browsing LOD selecting relationships among URI elements and their attributes can be a solution for developer for data and knowledge engineers, and saving them and sharing them with other colleagues. LOG can be also used on portals and services need to cope with relationships among Users, Contents and external sources. For these cases the Linked Open Graph provides algorithms and tools to solve the problem dynamically showing the relationships and resolving connections. The Users can play with graph elements moving and zooming, turning on/off connections, filtering and expanding, exploring and playing to see more information, exploiting connection with LOD, etc. (INFO) Click on the picture on the left to access at dbPedia, Sii-Mobility, Europeana, Cultura italia, British Museum, Linked Geo Data via Linked Open Graph.

TRL 7 – system prototype demonstration in operational environment |
Automated Ingestor from Open data to Ontology converter. Knowledge base construction tool, data harvesting, Open data ingestion and reconciliation. Description of the technical solution Massive Data ingestion process tools for SmartCity, Open Data coming from several formats, web services, etc. It automate the ingestion process and transformations from Open Data to RDF, OWL, from OD to a set of possible noSQL databases. It may be integrated with XSLT, and also Pentaho Kettle, and Karma, and with AXCP of DISIT as well. Well tuned for Hbase, Sesame, OWLIM, etc. -- RIM and DIM tools see Km4city web page |

TRL 7 – system prototype demonstration in operational environment |
MyStoryPlayer: a non linear audiovisual annotation tool accessible on ECLAP. MyStoryPlayer model and tools to perform and execute personal experiences as non-linear stories by following temporal and logical relationships formalized via semantic annotations. It is grounded on an RDF model and server, from which the player can progressively stream and play the annotations. The several media and info can be clicked to change the context and create personalize experiences and navigation. MyStoryPlayer can be also used as a stand alone tool. MyStoryPlayer is also promoted on Europeana. create and record your annotations and experiences.SEE MyStoryPlayer on DISIT In MyStoryPlayer, any media segment can be an annotation for another media element, the single media may be used as a basis to create an infinite number of media annotations. The user may navigate in the audiovisual annotations, thus creating its own non-linear experience. The solution may be adopted for modeling educational materials such as those that can be created for medical and theatrical environments.Download the MyStoryPlayer Flyer. |

TRL 6 – technology demonstrated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies) | Social graph: See it working on ECLAP Social network. It allows connecting and relating people, content, actions, etc., navigating among them, exploiting Open data and Linked Open Data, exploiting name resolution via dbPedia, geoname resolution, etc., Also promoted on Europeana Social graph is an application that allows to view and interact with the ECLAP’s elements. With a graph representation is possible to see for each object (video, user, group etc.) the elements associated, according to the existing relations. The basic idea for this navigation tool is to make the user experience on semantic world and Open Data much more intuitive, associative and social; this will definitely lead to find new connections within the content and with other users on the ECLAP portal and the world.

TRL 3 – experimental proof of concept | TimeLine as Time Navigator: The Timeline is based on a set of tools to solve, browse and navigate on the several kinds of dates associated with content. In the performing arts context, each single content may have several different dates associated with. For example, the date of the first performance, those of the other performances, the date of upload on ECLAP, the date of production, the date of publication, the last modification date, etc. Dates have been disambiguated and mined since they came from more than 35 collections, 13 languages, and on 180000 content elements we obtained about 1 millions dates. | |

TRL 6 – technology demonstrated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies) | Name extractor and resolver: we have solved the above problems by: (i) implementing natural language processing, NLP, algorithms for mining the multilingual data set to extract person names, identify synonymous, and search them to dbPedia and as well as on geonames. NLP algorithms identify names and are supported by a back office NameMiningManager, see the figure at the end of this page. The name manager allows to navigate in the resolved names, assess the quality, perform eventual correction, activate specific tasks. (ii) identified person names can be classified either as: portal users, vip names on dpPedia, or generic person names. For each of these categories links has been established to see from each object the citation, to report them into the linked open data, to make them accessible on the Social Graph. (iii) identified geographical names that are related to the content via the metadata and via the Social Graph. Thus also made accessible as Linked Open Data. over 180000 objects, 25000 distinct names have been identified with, 180 synonyms, 2100 links with dpPedia, etc. Used in ECLAP and Apretoscana | |
