Where is the key in technology?

Successful technology IPHONE Google Amazon Wiki Android FaceBook CONNOTEA

Communalities Open or semi-open Simple Community driven Integrative Generative (most of

them) The network

matters!!!

The lesson we all have learnt

It is not about…“Once built, it will be used… the will come…or

else I will bring them in…”

It is rather simple:“If they use it, it will build it self”

The GUI matters“as with everything in life… follow the KISS

philosophy.”

We are at…… an ever-changing technology

Everything can be captured. Everything can be stored. Everything can be distributed

everywhere. Everyone can talk to everyone. Everyone can learn from

everyone. Semantic Web+Social Web

Where Social Web Meets the Semantic Web

Collective Knowledge is Real

"The central principle behind the success of the giants born in the

Web 1.0 era who have survived to lead the

Web 2.0 era appears to be this, that they have embraced the power of the web to harness collective

intelligence" Tim O’Reilly

“The living document” The Living Document is not one that is

constantly being written, as in the wiki approach, but one that acts as an interconnection bus networking documents, by means of structured organized social tagging and existing ontologies.

The Living Document applies the social tagging paradigm to a document management environment encompassed in a document-information centric social network, heavily based on tags, and a semantic web technology layer making use of these tags.

The Living Document Scenario The Living Document focuses on facilitating the semantic

webvision: organize, share and discover.

The Living Document investigates How to get useful knowledge How to use this knowledge

We aim to: provide new and useful information from multiple,

large collections of data based on human contributions augmented by technology

structure data that gets better as more people participate. This will produce:

an increasing return at scale provide answers, solutions, discoveries and/or other results beyond the original data based on computation and inference.

The living document

How is a document a living entity? Networks of Associated Concepts Across

Papers (NACAP) Linking concepts from the paper to

external resources: (P2ext) Community using the document

The living document

How NACAP and P2ext can be exploited?

How not to depend on Ontologies? What about the community?

By harvesting the collective intelligence

Getting there Registered users (full functionality Non registered users (limited functionality) Demo on http://www.scientifik.info/livingdocument

A basic Search and Retrieval interface

Users search by “title”, “Authors”, “Abstract” etc.

Users can select a tagging pipeline for those retrieved documents (Whatizit)

Search & Retrieve Queries may be refined by the information

contained in the cloud of tags, and also by selecting a particular annotator.

The Document

User generated tag

The Document

For automatic generated tags links to external resources are readily available

Different colors for different annotation pipelines.

Contextual Browsing Users can use the cloud of tags in order to navigate

the document.
