Static Broadcasting

• Prehistoric methods of dissemination: cave drawings, stories of triumphs on columns and arches, history on pyramids, stones with messages

• More modern means: printed press, newspapers, journals

www.sti-innsbruck.at

• Online static dissemination: homepage …. And various web sites

Dynamic Communication

Small piece of content that is dependent on constraints such as time or location.

Examples of tools (organized considering first the length of message and second – the level of interactivity)

• News Feeds (f.e., RSS)

• Newsletters

• Email / Email lists

• Microblogs (twitter, tumblr, …)

www.sti-innsbruck.at

• Blogs

• Social networks

• Chat and instant messaging applications

(skype, messenger, …)

Sharing

• There are a large number of Web 2.0 websites that support the sharing of information items such as: bookmarks, images, slides, and videos, etc.

• Can use specialized applications (see below) of features of other platforms and services (e g share photos through Facebook)services (e.g. share photos through Facebook)

• Examples: – Flickr, Pinterest – means of exchanging photos, visible to all users (no account necessary),

allows users to post comments;

– Slideshare – channel for storing and exchanging presentations;

– YouTube and VideoLectures – sharing videos, all users can see the posted videos and leave comments on the websites

– Social Bookmark sites: e.g. delicious, digg, StumbleUpon

– Social News websites: e.g. reddit

www.sti-innsbruck.at 25

Dissemination through Collaboration

Wiki

• “Wiki” = Hawaiian word for “fast” of “quick”.

• Described by the developer of the first wiki software Ward Cunningham as theDescribed by the developer of the first wiki software, Ward Cunningham, as the“simplest online database that could possibly work”*.

• Websites whose users can add, modify or delete content via a web browser usingsimplified markup language or a rich-text editor.

• Most of the content is created collaboratively.

• Promotes meaningful topic associations between different pages by making linkcreation intuitively easy and showing whether an intended page exists or not.

• Often used for internal collaboration, however, when public also

an indirect means for dissemination.

Social Networks

• Provide a community aspect, i.e. forms a community that shares information in amulti-directional way

• Common features (regardless of platform):( g p )– construct a public/semi-public profile;

– articulate list of other users that they share a connection with;

– view the list of connections within the system

• Some sites allow users to upload pictures, add multimedia content or modify the lookand feel of the profile

• Social networks typically offer more than one channel of dissemination (thus they willbe considered platforms with many available dissemination channels):

www.sti-innsbruck.at

– Facebook: Pages, Groups, Share options

– LinkedIn and Xing are focused on professional use and fit the purpose of organizations

27

Internet Forums and Discussion Boards

• Web applications managing user-generated content

• Early forums can be described as a web version of an email list or newsgroup

• Internet forums are prevalent in several countries: Japan, China

• Are governed by a set of rules

• Users have a specific designated role, e.g. moderator, administrator

• Common features

– Tripcodes and capcodes - a secret password is added to the user's name following aseparator character

– Private message

– Attachment

www.sti-innsbruck.at

– BBCode and HTML

– Emoticon or smiley to convey emotion

– RSS and ATOM feeds

Group Communication

• Many-to-many

• Threaded conversations

U ll d i l i• Usually created on a particular topic

• Have different access levels

• Better for disseminating within a group that shares common interests as the purpose of the services is to enable collaboration, information sharing and discussions

• Exampled: Google Groups, Facebook Groups, Yahoo! Groups, LinkedIn Groups, Xing Groups.

• Similar in many ways to Discussion boards and Internet Forums

Semantic Based Dissemination

Rich Snippets

• Snippets—the few lines of text that appear under every search result—are designedto give users a sense for what’s on the page and why it’s relevant to their query.to give users a sense for what s on the page and why it s relevant to their query.

• If Google understands the content on your pages, it can create rich snippets—detailed information intended to help users with specific queries.

SEMANTIC COMMUNICATION ENGINE INNSBRUCK (SCEI *SKY)

42

Page 22: Oc short handouts

22

Reference architecture

• SCEI is a reference architecture.

• A reference software architecture is a software architecture where the structures and respective elements and relations provide templates for concrete architectures in a particular domain.

• A reference architecture consists of a list of functions and some indication of their interfaces (or APIs) and interactions with each other and with functions located outside of the scope of the reference architecture.

• SCEI provides a semantic engagement engine applicable to various domains and tasks

www.sti-innsbruck.at

domains and tasks.

• Core of its efficiently and flexibility is its separation of concern.

• And the proper separation and alignment of form and substance.

• In total, SCEI is based on three different types of functionalities.

43

SCEI *sky

• Infrastructure– The infrastructure layer provides basic functionalities needed by the other

f ti litifunctionalities.

– The infrastructure layer is responsible for separating and multiple alignments of communication content and communication channels.

• Communication– The communication layer used the basic functionality of the infrastructure layer to

implement the on-line communication of an agent.

– It combines these elements into useful patterns of on-line interactions.

– It supports exchange of meaning.

• Engagement

www.sti-innsbruck.at

• Engagement – turns communication into cooperation.

– Workflow

– Crow sourcing

– Value generation through on-line cooperation.

44

Page 23: Oc short handouts

Customization of the Architecture

• To derive concrete products and services from the reference architecture it must be instantiated for Application types (Tasks) and Domains.

• Task customization:– Advertisement

– Customer Relationship Management

– Revenue management

– Brand management

– Reputation management

– Quality management

www.sti-innsbruck.at

• Domain Customization: E.g., eTourisms.

Semantic Analysis

• Discovering facts in texts and other sources (audio, video, etc.)

• Deriving additional facts from them

• Typical tasks:

– Topic detection

– Named entity recognition

– Co-reference and Disambiguation

– Relation Extraction

– Sentiment detection and Opinion mining

– Social annotation

www.sti-innsbruck.at

– Text summarization• Obviously all of them are needed in Social Media Analysis

Separating Content and Rendering

• Analogy:– Content may be presented differently in different contexts.

– Therefore, it should be modeled independent from a specific representation

– Stylesheets connect content with a specific presentationy p p

• Content:<html><head><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/tryit.css" /></head><body><div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">

Infrastructure – Weaver

• Separating content from channels also requires the explicit alignment of both.

• This is achieved through a weaver.

• A weaver is – an uni-set of tuples describing bi-directional content-channel mappings,

– an execution engine for these tuples,

– a GUI to define these tuples, and

– a management and monitoring component for these tuple sets.

Semantic Channel Modelling

• The number of digital publishing channels has increased exponentially in the past decade.

• Using semantics (i.e., an Ontology) to describe these channels.

• Automatic review and adjustment of content and dissemination to channels based on semantic match-making.

• Content-Channel mapping becomes an instance of Ontology alignment.

Communication & Engagement

• Meaningful communication requires often more than just a single and isolated act of exchanging information.

– It can be active or reactive (Dissemination, Social Media Monitoring, and its integration)

– It has a trace, a history

– It needs multi-channel switch

– It is bi-directional and multi-agent

– It is based on patterns of successful interaction styles (campaigning versus individual interaction, etc.)

• For effective engagement (cooperation) is needed:Workflow management

Multi-channel booking problem

• Hotels are facing the multi-channel booking problem

• More than 100 different booking channels available

• Daily maintenance of right balance of rooms availabilityacross more than 100 channels does not scale

• Average time for hoteliers required to maintain a profile of amedium size hotel at one portal takes between 5 to 15minutes a day

www.sti-innsbruck.at

• An effort of maintaining hotel’s profile on 100 portals wouldrequire then at least 20 hours of work

SUMMARY

79

Summary

• The multi-channel monster can be seen as a threat of:– Failing to be properly present (active and passive) in a multitude of opportunities

– Spending a non-justify effort on achieving the former

– Going out of business in both cases (even if for different reasons)

• We propose a scalable solution for this based on using semantics.

• Core is the separation of content and channel and its explicit interweavement.

• For our approach, semantics is a corner stone but requires many additional services and layers to actually provide its potential.

• Together with Seekda we are currently focusing on the eTourisms

• Together with Seekda we are currently focusing on the eTourismsdomain, however, other verticals may follow.

• In general, we target domains (verticals) with many SMEs that need to intensively interact with their customers on-line.
