Research vision • Supporting users’ knowledge discovery • Pathways/trails for navigation and exploration • Personalisation • Adding context http://www.paths-project.eu
Trails are not a new idea Museums and Galleries create themed exhibitions
We can do more Natural Language Processing Information Extraction Similarity Calculation Link Finding Personalisation
User Research Professional curators Interested amateurs Students Other potential users User requirements gathering
Research findings Users like being lead to new things Want to see what other people have created Like the idea of a Path Want to make own discoveries Want to contribute their own ideas and content Want to be able to choose a route
Research findings Users want to tag and comment Users want to communicate with Path creators and others Users want to clone and edit

Making connections Content processing and analysis
Making connections • Curator generated metadata items • Liguistic processing: Point of speech tagging, lemmatization, multi-words • Named entity classification: person, place, organisation • Vocabulary matches • Links between items: similarity measures • Background links: Wikipedia, other articles
The aim is to produce Richer experiences when browsing collections
Implementation: Prototype 1 • Item + narrative • Path navigation • Social features • Exploration starting points
Implementation • Standard vocabularies • Visual topics • Explore by tag cloud
Evaluation and testing User trials summer 2012 Informing the development of the next PATHS prototype
