Pundit: Semantically Structured Annotations for Web Contents... [email protected] 2012

THE WEB SCENARIO

• Annotating web content has become a common task• Comments and tags are widely supported by

mainstream application

• Many tools to bookmark, highlight, comment web page fragments

• Some tools support collaborative annotations

• Web content annotations are beneficial:• More engaging and productive user experience

• Exploit social engagement to improve resource ranking, classification

mailto:[email protected]



DL SCENARIO

• Crowdsourcing experiments for enriching DL, curating contents or uploading digital material of interest for the DL (BBC WW2 People’s War, …)

• Digital Libraries (DL) are no longer simple “expositions” of digital objects but provide users with more interaction

WHAT’S MISSING? ...

• Most of existing annotation tools are

usually limited to simple textual tags and

comments.

• limitation due to the ambiguity of natural

language

• their semantic is not machine interpretable

Limitation in the efficiency of resource classification and retrieval and in the possibility to reuse these annotations in other context

Orange?




SEMANTICALLY STRUCTURED ANNOTATIONS

• Semantically structured annotations to make smart use of such added knowledge:

• Unambiguously express semantics to be processed by software agents: • annotations can be harvested periodically and publish back• used by recommender systems or search engines,• ...

• Enhance Digital Libraries capabilities

• improving browsing• enabling automatic content classification• ...

• Reuse such a collaborative knowledge in different contexts and by different applications





User should be able to create knowledge graphs where web content fragments, concepts and entities are meaningfully connected.





• Rely on controlled vocabularies and ontologies• share the same terminology and “talk about the same things”• annotations can be meaningfully mashed-up

• Link to the emerging Web of Data• a software can automatically get additional, useful semantic data (e.g. date and place of

birth, pictures, citations, multi-language data)

Augmenting the information of the annotation and of the original content to support

smarter application behaviors!

Ex. We have discovered that the two images contain american film actors showing anger emotion!

NOTEBOOKS• Annotations are collected in notebooks

• Users can organize their annotations

• Aggregate annotations to be retrieved and queried

• Different UNIX style read/write privileges (from private to completely public)*

• Activate/Deactivate a notebook to filter the amount of public annotations visualizing only those of interest.

• Identified by a (dereferenciable) URI




NOTEBOOKS• Notebooks allow annotations sharing

WIKI

• Sharing a notebook is as easy as sharing its URL on the web (similarly to popular file sharing platforms)




NOTEBOOK MANAGEMENT

• Create new notebooks

• Set the current notebook (where the annotations are written)

• Set notebook private or public

• Activate/deactivate owned notebooks or public notebook to filter annotations of interest

• Share notebook by URI




USER AUTHENTICATION

• Authentication is based on OpenID:

• No need to store user’s credentials

• Implemented already by mainstream company (Google, Yahoo, ...)

• Possibly avoid user multiple registration (waste of time, another password)

• Single identity can be used among different Pundit-enabled Digital Libraries

• Adding an OpenID provider is easy and transparent to the Pundit server.




PUNDIT ARCHITECTURE

• Open Source RESTful Web Service (Java Jersey framework)

• Cross origin request• CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)

• JSONP

• Sesame triple store• SPARQL and inference

• Different sail are provided to implement different storages (BigOWLIM, MySQL, PostgreeSQL, Virtuoso ...)

• MySQL for user data

• RESTful API to edit and consume annotations

• Set of Javascript modules (Dojo Framework)• Easily extendable

• Highly customizableCLI

DIFFERENT ANNOTABLE CONTENTS

• Pundit allows the annotation of different types of contents at different level of granularity

• Text fragments

• Images

• Image fragments (under development)

• Videos and video fragments (experimented in Semtube)




• Semantic annotation of YouTube videos (alpha state) based on Pundit JavaScript libraries and annotation server

• Textual comments• Semantic Tags

• Automatically extracted from textual comments (Dbpedia Spotlight)

• Popular Linked Data service(Dbpedia, Freebase, Wordnet, ..)

• Define your own source of named entities (SPARQL endpoint, HTTP API)


Comment/Tag Panel





• Textual comments• Semantic Tags• Semantic Relations

• Subject-Property-Object Statements

• Drag&Drop and suggestions

• Connect different resources (user selection, linked data entities, ...) with semantically defined properties


Triple Composer




CUSTOM VOCABULARIES• Pundit allows to use custom vocabularies/taxonomies (and

relations):• Create a JSONp file (manually or automatically from an ontology )

• Put it online

• Add its URL to the configuration to import and use it




CROSS PAGE / DOMAIN ANNOTATIONS• Special Bookmarklet allows to lunch Pundit on every Web page to perform annotations

• Selected resources (text fragments, images, ...) on different pages and domain can be added to “My Items” to be stored on server and reused on different pages

Add to My Items




CROSS PAGE / DOMAIN ANNOTATIONS• Special Bookmarklet allows to lunch Pundit on every Web page to perform annotations

• Selected resources (text fragments, images, ...) on different pages and domain can be added to “My Items” to be stored on server and reused on different pages

Add to My Items

Use in another page

Create cross page semantic relations

cites



NAMED CONTENT• DLs change over time

• Presentation can restyled and content can be re-organized

• Same content in different pages• Some part of the page should not be

annotated (menu, ...)

• Specific markup can be added in the pages to allows Pundit:• identifying atomic pieces of content (by

means of URI)• attaching the annotations to such

contents• avoid the annotation of page accessory

component

<div class="pundit-content" about="http://example.org/contents/123">  <p>This is a named content and contains both text and a picture</p> <img src="http://example.org/pictires/pictire123.png" /> <p><em>Caption:</em> this is a caption.</p></div>


NAMED CONTENT

The same content in different pages shows the same annotations!

Text




CONSUMING THE ANNOTATIONS

• PUNDIT server provides RESTfull APIs to consume annotations.

• (Public) annotations can be consumed by third party applications.

• Currently conceiving and developing apps to display and reuse pundit annotation




ASK THE PUND

• A social web app consuming people's annotations, which let group of people to organize them into a shared collection, telling a meaningful story with it.

http://ask.thepund.it/






EDGEMAPS VISUALIZATION

• An Edgemaps graph populated with Pundit annotations
