  2. Contents • Main objectives of a semantic portal at CSI • User interaction; a scenario • Online demonstration • First results • Conclusion and prospects The MESMUSES portal of La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie

  3. Main objectives of a semantic portal • Provide high-school teachers (life sciences domain) with an application to select content for preparing a course • 30% of CSI visitors are from education (17 000 teachers and 500 000 pupils visit CSI each year) • enable teachers to search for content using criteria like • the grade level of classroom, topics in the official program, concepts of life-sciences itself, topical events from daily news • Explore new types of scientific mediation • manually/automatically classified information/internet access • integrated and homogeneous description of our contents The MESMUSES portal of La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie

  4. User interaction : a scenario • From generic to specific browsing • educational program topics and grade level of classroom as entry-points • links to associated life-sciences concepts • at any step, access to related resources • From specific to generic • entry-points are life-sciences concepts • links to others life-sciences concepts and to educational program topics • at any step, access to related resources • Searching against the resources • many criteria to be used, like concepts, program topics, attributes of resources (e.g. pupils activity, type) The MESMUSES portal of La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie

  5. Portal : user interface concepts Tree view of thematic folders (educational program topics, life-sciences concepts,resources) Search / results area (list of program topics, life sciences concepts, resources) Detailed view of a folder, a resource or list of resources Bookmarks area (save of requests) The MESMUSES portal of La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie

  6. Portal : Online demonstration The MESMUSES portal of La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie

  7. First results • With MESMUSES Portal, at this step • application to a thematic domain (to be extended to the whole offre de la Cité) • evaluation with real users is ongoing (teachers to test and evaluate the portal) • first test of an automatic categorisation (GammaSite) • Tracks for improvements • high level user interface adapted to different user profiles (e.g. teachers/pupils) • individual browsing through itineraries • seamlessly integration with automatic categorisation (e.g. conceptual schema/taxonomy) The MESMUSES portal of La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie

  8. Conclusion, prospects at the Cité des Sciences • Describe contents • the whole contents of CSI are candidates (exhibitions, guided activities, lectures, web site...) • in an integrated way (relationships between contents, e.g. media library and exhibits, links to web contents and others Museums and Libraries) • Improve navigation tools • provide the visitor with a global view of available contents on any media • various means to access contents like portal, itineraries The MESMUSES portal of La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie
