Semantic Web Interfaces for Newspaper Multimedia Content Management

New Trends on Human–Computer Interaction

Abstract

The S5T project explores the possibilities of a semantic content management system in the context of a mass media group (radio, TV, newspaper and internet). The system is based on Semantic Web technologies and attempts to build up a media repository that makes the media house more productive. To carry out such a challenge, the project features a user interface that takes profit from all the modelling and annotation effort, which is carried out during ontology construction and semantic annotation of audio transcriptions. In particular, three interfaces have been developed whose goal is to facilitate the main interaction modes, search and browsing. For the former, a query-by-example tool has been created. For the latter, there are two specialised interfaces, which allow browsing media contents and the semantic annotations for transcriptions. These interfaces make it possible to take profit from the underlying ontologies during user interaction.
