The NoTube European project puts the TV user back in the driver's seat by generating user profiles from data the user creates on the Social Web, and in this way facilitating a personalised TV experience without an intrusive user profiling process.
Article
The Future Television workshop at EuroITV 2010 will explore how emerging Semantic Web and Social Web technologies can be integrated into the (increasingly Web-based) television experience to create new services and content offers around TV programming. It will bring together visionary minds from the TV, Social Web and Semantic Web communities to di...

XQuery is a query language designed to allow queries across the many kinds ofinformation that are represented in XML. Although topic maps and RDF canalso be represented in XML, many have held that their many possible syntacticforms make them extremely difficult to query using an XML query language,and that they can only be queried using special-pur...
Article
With the steadily growing amount of TV channels, content selection has become a challenge to many users. While users have virtually no influence on what will be broadcasted on the majority of the TV channels, users have a great impact on what information is available on the World Wide Web. The NoTube project aims to close the gap between Web and TV...

... There are three different RDA entities involved: a person; a name of the person; and a work that is a metadata description set embodied in the document that is the authority record for the person and name. The Virtual international authority file (VIAF) clusters access points from multiple authority control systems by treating each access point as a concept in the Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) ontology (Isaac and Summers, 2009) and using the "focus" relationship from the Friend of a Friend (FOAF) ontology (Brickley and Miller, 2014) to relate the concept to the real-world object that the concept is "about". Many other systems model names and access points as SKOS concepts in order to apply the features of subject heading systems and thesauri to their management, including the use of preferred and alternative labels (Isaac and Baker, 2015). ...
... Nous présentons ici seulement les ontologies les plus utilisées : B. e-foaf :interest (ZENG et al., 2010) ont montré que l'intérêt est un sujet qui peut avoir un identifiant, un ensemble de propriétés, un degré d'importance, des sujets similaires, etc. Ils ont proposé une extension de la propriété foaf :interest pour définir un vocabulaire détaillant les intérêts de l'utilisateur afin d'améliorer le processus de recherche d'information. (BRICKLEY et al., 2010) proposent l'ontologie WI qui fournit un ensemble des concepts et des propriétés pour la représentation sémantique des sujets d'intérêt des utilisateurs en prenant en considération le contexte d'apparition, l'aspect dynamique et l'importance des sujets. Cette ontologie comporte deux principales classes : WeightedInterest et InterestDynamics. ...
... The construction of the XML schema was finalized. It was composed of three classes; Organization, Agent, and Document, from the FOAF standard [23] for the initial REBAR schema. Several FOAF predicates that could also describe types of communication between DoD Organizations were selected. ...

... The NoTube project proposed a Beancounter which analysed the content of a user's social media feeds to build up an interest profile for them and a recommendation engine based on Linked Data so that the profile could be matched to content that is not directly related yet relevant (through semantic links between content, our Western fan might be recommended another film genre because a favourite actor is present or the same period of history is covered) [196]. ...
... Finally in their work Aroyo et al. highlight an important aspect about the openness of the Web of Data and the related implications of this on users' experience: an open approach to user knowledge would produce different new use cases and knowledge management approaches, especially users should then be able to inspect and edit their own data (scrutability of user profiles). Related and more practical work by the same authors and others is described in [15] where, as part of the NoTube project, by using the Linked Data cloud, semantics can be exploited to find complex relations between the user's interests and background information of TV programmes, resulting in potentially interesting recommendations. Also in another paper [9] Denaux et al. present how interactive user modelling and adaptive content management on the Semantic Web can be integrated in a learning domain to deal with common adaptation problems (e.g. ...
