GLOCAL OBJECTIVES • Content-basedretrievalsystemsfailed so far toprovidegeneral-purpose, reliablesystems: • semantic gap • content vs. context • New tools are neededtorepresent, organize, index and access media, whichshouldbe: • Intuitive and user-centric(neartohuman way oforganizing data) • Effortless(do notbother the userwithcomplex and time-consumingannotation, tagging, cataloguing, etc) • Scalable and extensible(supporteverincreasingtypes and amountsof media documents) • Distributed (suitedtowidespreadingmedia-driven social networks) NEM – Concertation meeting Brussels, Feb. 3-4 2010
GLOCAL S&T ISSUES • GLOCAL envisages a solution to such problems by exploiting three major assets: • The use of events as a primary mean to contextualize data • The interaction of peersat local and global level to build a social intelligence as the way to automate media organization • The construction of new search paradigmsbased on the above elements NEM – Concertation meeting Brussels, Feb. 3-4 2010
THE GLOCAL MODEL • Events are entities with attributes and relational attributes (links) to other entities (e.g., events, • locations, people, media) • Related events (event network): • Sub-event relationship (granularity) • Cause-effect relationship (causality) • Temporal relationship (continuity) • … Linked locations Linked persons TIME SPACE TYPE EVENT (UID) PERSON EVENT Linked events MEDIA Linkedmedia OTHER • Media populateevents: • Eventscontextualize media (experientialdimension) • Many-to-manyrelationship (viewpoints): • One media linkedtomanyevents • Oneeventlinkedtomany media ATTRIB. NEM – Concertation meeting Brussels, Feb. 3-4 2010
GLOCAL SEARCH Query: a set of metadata from the event model • Simple or composite (QbyText, QbyExample, QbyMetadata, ..., as well as their combination) • No need to specify all parameters (metadata) • Takes into account uncertainty (e.g., temporal and geographic range) QUERY Example • Refinement and navigationmechanisms • Queryansweringproduces a rankedlistofpointersto the event net • Refinementthroughhyperspacenavigation (graphics, interfaces) Event: text description “Soccer match Milan” What Time: temporalrange May 15, 2008 When Milano, Italy Space: geo location Where Milan, Beckham Who Entities: actors, objects Photoof 1st goal Sample media Which NEM – Concertation meeting Brussels, Feb. 3-4 2010
