  1. Communications from the Particle FrontierMultiMedia and Visualisation Innovations for Science Workshop Tim Smith – CERN/IT Department

  2. Contents • MultiMedia in Science Communications • MultiMedia in Science Practice • A random walk through our digital library “lab” • Supporting technology

  3. Multi-Media to engage • Colliderscope • Sonification • CERNLand

  4. Multi-Media for exploration • Cathedrals of Science ! • 100m underground, 46mx25m, inaccessible 95% of year • ATLAS mural • Virtual Tour • Interactive Video • Flash navigation graph • Cross-points: 360o pan photography • Connectors: 70 videos

  5. MultiMedia to explain • Illustration by video • Experimental apparatus • Accelerator operations • Processes under study

  6. MultiMedia to explain • Accurate representation visualization/understanding • 100M channels of readout • Event Displays – Java, XML, converter in C++ • Convert, smooth, texture, visualize – video replay

  7. Multi-Media to glimpse Theories • Hidden dimensions • Parallel Universes • Antimatter • Strings

  8. Web-broadcast • Mini-black holes • Earth eating ? • Public attention • 1M watched LHC launch live • VC&Fibre network from 5 points • Accompanied by MultiMedia • Free access to everything • Hence digital library with everything in it

  9. MultiMedia: Serving Content CDSmedia CDSweb Media Archive IIS WMVStream MMS FlashStream WebCast x2 x4 x4 x8 Masters Slaves DFS x7 (70TB) x10 Transcoder

  10. MultiMedia: streaming webcast • Daily: from locations across site • Dual stream

  11. MultiMedia: OnDemandWebLectures • Synchronized audio/video and slides • Auto slide analysis and chapter creation • MICALA

  12. Enhanced Publications • Supporting data • Meta data, research data, supplementary plots and tables, photos of apparatus • Post publication data • Comments, rankings, reviews • Extensions: Presentations, videos • Contributed • Or • Mined

  13. Plot Extraction • Caption extraction… and search

  14. Image Similarity Search • GIFT (GNU Image Finding Tools) and Invenio • Based on visual properties (colour distributions, shapes, textures, just like key words for text retrieval)

  15. Visualizing Patterns of Connection

  16. Keyword Visualization • Auto-Keywording: Particle Physics Taxonomy

  17. Back-end Machinery • Parallelization and dispatching of intensive tasks • Data Mining on the GRID in the Cloud • OCR processing • Ocropus (open source) • De-skewing, text recognition, hOCR production (html), PDF • Fulltext indexing • Solr/Lucene, Hadoop, Process Execution Engine • Extension to semantic indexing with HEP ontology • Bibliometrics • Scientific impact e.g. H-Index • Author disambiguation • Using affiliations, coauthors, research topics, etc • G. Chen: 963 docs, 21 real authors, only 22 docs not assigned, 97.2% success rate
