lots of exciting stuff!
The white box paradigm
We can do better than this!
PATHS: project basics
• A STREP funded under the FP7 programme
• 36 months - 1st January 2011 to 31st December 2013
• 6 partners in 5 countries
• Research – Information access– User centred systems development
http://www.paths-project.eu
Research vision
• Supporting users’ knowledge discovery
• Pathways/trails for navigation and exploration
• Personalisation
• Adding context
http://www.paths-project.eu
Trails are not a new idea
• Museums and Galleries create themed exhibitions
We can do more
• Natural Language Processing
• Information Extraction
• Similarity Calculation
• Link Finding
• Personalisation
User Research
• Professional curators
• Interested amateurs
• Students
• Other potential users
User requirements gathering
User behaviours
Research findings
• Users like being lead to new things
• Want to see what other people have created
• Like the idea of a Path
• Want to make own discoveries
• Want to contribute their own ideas and content
• Want to be able to choose a route
Research findings
• Users want to tag and comment
• Users want to communicate with Path creators and others
• Users want to clone and edit

Making connections
Content processing and analysis
Making connections
• Curator generated metadata items
• Liguistic processing: Point of speech tagging, lemmatization, multi-words
• Named entity classification: person, place, organisation
• Vocabulary matches
• Links between items: similarity measures
• Background links: Wikipedia, other articles
The aim is to produce
Richer experiences when browsing
collections
Implementation: Prototype 1
1. Item + narrative
2. Path navigation
3. Social features
4. Exploration starting points
Implementation
1. Standard vocabularies
2. Visual topics
3. Explore by tag cloud
Evaluation and testing
