ODESeW v2.0. A framework for developing semantic web portals.
This event took place on Thursday 24 June 2004 at 12:30

 
Angel Lopez-Cima Universidad Polit?cnica de Madrid

This talk presents ODESeW (*Se*mantic *W*eb Portal based on Web*ODE* platform) as an ontology-based application that automatically generates and manages a community knowledge portals, designed on the top of WebODE ontology engineering platform. This talk presents an architecture which allows: configuring a semantic portal for any type of domains; providing different functionalities for different kind of users: community users, normal users (guest) and software agents; being consistent with the underlying ontologies in real time; and, reducing the effort to produce ad-hoc portals.

Social Software is...


Social Software
Social Software can be thought of as "software which extends, or derives added value from, human social behaviour - message boards, musical taste-sharing, photo-sharing, instant messaging, mailing lists, social networking."

Interacting with other people not only forms the core of human social and psychological experience, but also lies at the centre of what makes the internet such a rich, powerful and exciting collection of knowledge media. We are especially interested in what happens when such interactions take place on a very large scale -- not only because we work regularly with tens of thousands of distance learners at the Open University, but also because it is evident that being part of a crowd in real life possesses a certain 'buzz' of its own, and poses a natural challenge. Different nuances emerge in different user contexts, so we choose to investigate the contexts of work, learning and play to better understand the trade-offs involved in designing effective large-scale social software for multiple purposes.
