TLDR
This paper presents the results of the first phase of the Topia project, which explored generating a discourse structure derived from generic processing of the underlying domain semantics, transforming this to a structured progression and then using this to steer the choice of hypermedia communicative devices used to convey the actual information in the resulting presentation.Abstract:
Generating hypermedia presentations requires processing constituent material into coherent, unified presentations. One large challenge is creating a generic process for producing hypermedia presentations from the semantics of potentially unfamiliar domains. The resulting presentations must both respect the underlying semantics and appear as coherent, plausible and, if possible, pleasant to the user. Among the related unsolved problems is the inclusion of discourse knowledge in the generation process. One potential approach is generating a discourse structure derived from generic processing of the underlying domain semantics, transforming this to a structured progression and then using this to steer the choice of hypermedia communicative devices used to convey the actual information in the resulting presentation.This paper presents the results of the first phase of the Topia project, which explored this approach. These results include an architecture for this more domain-independent processing of semantics and discourse into hypermedia presentations. We demonstrate this architecture with an implementation using Web standards and freely available technologies.read more

Automatic Meaning Discovery Using Google
TL;DR: A new theory of relative semantics between objects is presented, based on information distance and Kolmogorov complexity, which is then applied to construct a method to automatically extract the meaning of words and phrases from the world-wide-web using Google page counts.

The evolving mSpace platform: leveraging the semantic web on the trail of the memex

TL;DR: In this article, the mSpace framework and architecture is proposed as a platform to deploy lightweight Semantic Web applications which foreground associative interaction and evaluate both interaction needs and the cost/benefit of using Semantic web technologies to support them.
Vox Populi : generating video documentaries from semantically annotated media repositories
TL;DR: A methodology to automatically organize video material in an edited video sequence with a rhetorical structure is developed, to enable an alternative authoring process for film makers to make all their material dynamically available to users, without having to edit a static final cut that would select out possible informative footage.

RDF Vocabulary Description Language 1.0 : RDF Schema. W3C Proposed Recommendation
TL;DR: The Resource Description Framework (RDF) as mentioned in this paper is a general-purpose language for representing information in the Web. This specification defines a vocabulary for this purpose and defines other built-in RDF vocabulary initially specified in the RDF Model and Syntax Specification.
Rdf vocabulary description language 1.0 : Rdf schema
TL;DR: This specification describes how to use RDF to describe RDF vocabularies and defines other built-in RDF vocabulary initially specified in the RDF Model and Syntax Specification.
XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0
TL;DR: This specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT, which is a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents, which enhances the functionality and interoperability of the Web.

The Semantic Web: the roles of XML and RDF
Stefan Decker,Sergey Melnik,F.A.H. van Harmelen,Dieter Fensel,Michel C. A. Klein,Jeen Broekstra,Michael Erdmann,Ian Horrocks +7 more
TL;DR: It is argued that a further representation and inference layer is needed on top of the Web's current layers, and to establish such a layer, a general method for encoding ontology representation languages into RDF/RDF schema is proposed.
