touch compatibility

Random ideas

  • User interface
    • non binary features: link to objects, reverse lookup, link to property
    • template streamlining (mouseover comments for all items/features, link detection for all comments, etc.)
    • item page streamlining (reviews first, list all feature instances instead of recent only)
    • welcome ST page for user
    • ST annotation wizard
      • partially done but should additionally generate annotation overlaps between users
    • allow some simple HTML in comments (<i>,<a href=... skip=bool>)
    • recommendation channel edit functionality
    • filter negative features in view
    • touch compatibility
  • Refactoring
    • diff-based syncer
    • use Beans instead of JSON for ST models (fix String vs. HTML escaping ugliness in the process)
    • use TDB named graphs for SF namespaces?
  • Annotating items
    • similar-to/part-of/connected-to/successor-of feature types (further input for feature type recommender)
    • rules for deducing features (per-user basis, let user confirm generated feature instances)
    • sameAs links to other data sources
  • Adaptation for music domain
    • simplify entering song/band information
    • download/cache songs
    • generate/play playlists, possibly with changing style over time (AutoDJ)
  • Book domain ontology
  • Metadata sharing
    • optimize synchronization
    • cache and forward data on intermediate nodes in a secure fashion
    • superpeer nodes? Possibly represented within the network? (superpeer3-hasFeature-IsHubForMusic)
    • detect 'hot topics'
  • Trust network - trust as in "peer is competent/peer's metadata is important")
  • Ontology evolution
    • simple skipinions ontology editor
    • update and synchronize ontologies (and facts!) on peers

Implementation details

  • Facts/graph synchronization idea
    • every peer implements
      • String getDiffForNamespace(String namespace, String haveHash, String wantHash)
      • String getMostCurrentHash()
      • String isValid(String hash)
      • String getPubkey()
      • ? subscribe(?)
    • logic: once a day, every machine dumps its 'own' facts to an NTriples file along with a timestamp and the data's hash
    • when peers call getDiffForNamespace(), a diff from haveHash.dat to wantHash.dat is calculated and sent
    • Distributed Storage
      • simple distributed storage (without signatures) with trust can be implemented usind getMostCurrentHash and isValid
      • distributed storage with signatures can be implemented with getPubkey (using a true keyserver might be desirable though)
      • optimized push synchronization could use some subscription mechanism. Integrate with XMPP pubsub?
    • Ontology evolution/rules
      • rules that upgrade existing facts could be added to the diff file

Done

  • Internal namespaces for ontologies (xmpp://schwarz@xmpp.km.opendfki.de/ont/ludopinions#UsesDice)
    • this way people can create own ontologies, and ontology management/evolution can be done similar to facts synchronization
  • Play sounds from JavaScript: http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager/
  • show number of (existing) feature instances for each item (in ItemPane) - metadata certificates
  • show number of feature instances for each feature class (in FeaturePane) and arithmetic mean/standard deviation for applicability - metadata certificates
  • red/green blobs
  • RDF importer that changes namespaces
  • FloriansDiplomaThesis topics (Jul-Dec 2008)
    • related work: Semantic audio - List of publications
    • finish skiptrax ontology (see Music Ontology)
    • metadata importers/exporters (ID3, LastFM, etc.)
    • expert recommender (ask friends about people having knowledge about X/interests in Y)
    • scalable trust metric
    • fast computation of feature summaries
  • User interface
    • Plain HTML pages for item/feature instances, just for browsing and linked data
      • For Person instances: Trust, feature(types) I (dis)agree with, last annotations, list of annotated items (by date/...)
      • For Item instances: Review stats, list of annotators (by degree of agreement), list of feature instances (by date/...)
      • For Feature types: Comment, example positive/negative item instances (by number of annotations), experts for this type, dispute list (for the current item), list of instances (for the current item)
