Web Application for Collaborative Semantic Web Information Architecture

In this paper is analyzed the prototyping of the information visualization on a Web Application for community purposes in a collaborative environment representing an evolution of the actual social networks like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin, VirgilioPeople,... The intent of this work is to identify the most common features of Web App for the information visualization based on the Semantic Web and discuss how they support the user's requirements in a "collaborative" environment. A solution for the context-aware development of UI is based on "joint meaning" understood as a joint construal of the creator of the community contents and the user of the community contents thanks to the context and interface adaptation using the faced taxonomy with the Semantic Web. A proof-of concept prototype allows showing that the proposed methodological approach can also easily be applied to existing presentation components, built with different languages and/or component technologies.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables, for details see: http://www.maxdalmas.co

On the Implementation of Multiplatform RIA User Interface Components

Nowadays, there are a growing number of Web 1.0 applications that are migrating towards Web 2.0 User Interfaces, in search of multimedia support and higher levels of interaction among other features. These Web 2.0 features can be implemented using RIA technologies. However, most of the current Web Models do not fully exploit all the potential benefits of Rich Internet Applications. Although there are interesting works that extend existing methodologies to deal with RIA features, they do not fully exploit presentation issues. RUX is a method that focuses on the enrichment of the User Interface while takes full advantage of the functionality already provided by the existing Web models. Far from explaining RUX-Method in detail, this paper focuses on the way the method deals with the definition and transformation of components at different levels of abstraction for different RIA rendering platforms. 1
