[annotation, discussion thread] Online experimentation - Call for participation


Dear 'www-annotation' subscribers,

I am a French PhD student in Computer Science, working on Web annotation. In the context of discussion
threads support through
annotation, I am currently looking for people to take part in an online experimentation (see below for more
details). You can start
this experimentation (and resume it at anytime) by following this link:

    http://www.irit.fr/~Guillaume.Cabanac/expe/expe.jnlp

Do not hesitate to send me your feedback and comments :) Thank you in advance. Yours sincerely.

PS: If the above link doesn't work, you may need to install the Java environment freely available here http://www.java.com/en/.

PS2: The command "javaws http://www.irit.fr/~Guillaume.Cabanac/expe/expe.jnlp" is also available
to start the experimentation.

** What is The Task of a Participant in This Experimentation? **

In the proposed experimentation, a "participant" has to evaluate 13 argumentative discussion threads (a
discussion thread is a tree
whose nodes contain people's statements; they are chronologically organized as in Usenet or Web forums).
You can see a screen
capture of a discussion thread evaluation here: http://www.irit.fr/~Guillaume.Cabanac/expe/example.png.

Evaluating a discussion thread requires 2 steps:

CFP: Semantic Authoring, Annotation and Knowledge Markup (SAAKM 2007)


----------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Semantic Authoring, Annotation and Knowledge Markup (SAAKM 2007)
http://saakm2007.semanticauthoring.org/

co-located with the 4th International Conference on Knowledge Capture
Whistler, British Columbia, Canada October 28-31, 2007
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Capturing knowledge by using markup techniques and by supporting semantic
annotations is a major technique for creating metadata. It is beneficial
in a wide range of content-oriented intelligent applications.
One important application for instance is the Semantic Web. The research
about the WWW currently strives to augment syntactic information
already present in the Web by semantic metadata in order to achieve a
Semantic Web that human and software agents can understand. Here, one
of the most urgent challenges now is a knowledge-capturing problem,
i.e. how one may turn existing syntactic resources into knowledge
structures. A solution is to markup web documents in order to create
metadata on the web or to author new documents in a way that they
contain markup directly.

Another application is the indexing and searching of multimedia (and
multilingual) data. It is difficult to completely process the content of
multimedia data, even with technologies based on natural language
processing, image processing, machine vision and speech recognition.
Therefore, semantic annotation is one of the promising methodologies
to define semantic structures on the content.
