KMi Seminars
Multimedia, eScience and the Semantic Web
This event took place on Wednesday 30 July 2008 at 11:00

Suzanne Little

This talk will act as an introduction and provide an overview of my thesis research (titled "A Semantic Framework for the Management, Analysis and Assimilation of Mixed-Media Scientific Data") and (briefly) the work conducted over the past 18 months as a postdoc with the EU Network of Excellence, MUSCLE (Multimedia Understanding through Semantics, Computation and LEarning). This includes the use of semantic web technologies (XML, RDF, ontologies, inferencing rules etc.) to support scientific research through:

*the capture and management of provenance data,
*using semantic inferencing rules and ontologies to annotate regions in images and
*interacting with collections of scientific multimedia.

Finally, I will discuss some of the work I hope to undertake at KMi through the PHAROS project.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
