SemWeB Semantic Web Browser – Improving Browsing Experience with Semantic and Personalized Information and Hyperlinks
Imagine a Web browser that can understand the context of a Web page and recommends related semantic hyperlinks in any Web domain. In addition, imagine this browser also understands your browsing needs and personalizes information for you. The aim of our research is to achieve this in open Web environment using Semantic Web technologies and adaptive hypermedia techniques. In this paper, we discuss a novel Semantic Web browser, SemWeB, which utilizes linked data for context-based hyperlink recommendation and uses a behavior-based and an ontology-driven user modeling architecture for personalization on Web documents. The aim of this research is to bring the gap between the technology and user needs using Semantic Web technologies in Web browsing
Personalized content retrieval in context using ontological knowledge
Personalized content retrieval aims at improving the retrieval process by taking into account the particular interests of individual users. However, not all user preferences are relevant in all situations. It is well known that human preferences are complex, multiple, heterogeneous, changing, even contradictory, and should be understood in context with the user goals and tasks at hand. In this paper, we propose a method to build a dynamic representation of the semantic context of ongoing retrieval tasks, which is used to activate different subsets of user interests at runtime, in a way that out-of-context preferences are discarded. Our approach is based on an ontology-driven representation of the domain of discourse, providing enriched descriptions of the semantics involved in retrieval actions and preferences, and enabling the definition of effective means to relate preferences and context
The Conference Review Process
This presentation is for students on the 3rd year ECS Multimedia course where students run their own conference, and submit and review papers.
In this presentation we explain the academic review process, look at the structure of a review, and give some examples of positive and negative reviews

A linked data-driven & service-oriented architecture for sharing educational resources
The two fundamental aims of managing educational resources are to enable resources to be reusable and interoperable and to enable Web-scale sharing of resources across learning communities. Currently, a variety of approaches have been proposed to expose and manage educational resources and their metadata on the Web. These are usually based on heterogeneous metadata standards and schemas, such as IEEE LOM or ADL SCORM, and diverse repository interfaces such as OAI-PMH or SQI. Also, there is still a lack of usage of controlled vocabularies and available data sets that could replace the widespread use of unstructured text for describing resources. On the other hand, the Linked Data approach has proven that it offers a set of successful principles that have the potential to alleviate the aforementioned issues. In this paper, we introduce an architecture and prototype which is fundamentally based on (a) Linked Data principles and (b) Service-orientation to resolve the integration issues for sharing educational resources
Where are your Manners? Sharing Best Community Practices in the Web 2.0
The Web 2.0 fosters the creation of communities by offering users a wide
array of social software tools. While the success of these tools is based on
their ability to support different interaction patterns among users by imposing
as few limitations as possible, the communities they support are not free of
rules (just think about the posting rules in a community forum or the editing
rules in a thematic wiki). In this paper we propose a framework for the sharing
of best community practices in the form of a (potentially rule-based)
annotation layer that can be integrated with existing Web 2.0 community tools
(with specific focus on wikis). This solution is characterized by minimal
intrusiveness and plays nicely within the open spirit of the Web 2.0 by
providing users with behavioral hints rather than by enforcing the strict
adherence to a set of rules.Comment: ACM symposium on Applied Computing, Honolulu : \'Etats-Unis
