Towards Changing the Relationship between Business and IT via Semantic Web Services
This event took place on Wednesday 31 January 2007 at 11:30

 
Prof John Domingue KMi, The Open University

A number of new technologies are emerging which over the next 5-10 years will radically change the relationship between a business and its IT infrastructure. In this talk I will give an overview of the EU funded SUPER Integrated Project which aims to enable business experts to query and manage business processes which reside in IT systems without recourse to IT staff. To achieve this SUPER will combine semantic Web, Web service and business process modeling technologies. The SUPER project involves a consortium of 19 partners including SAP and a number of telecommunications companies and has now been running for 9 months.

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.
