Digital archives of memory institutions are typically concerned with the cataloguing artefacts artistic, historical, and cultural value. Recently, new forms citizen participation in heritage have emerged, producing a wealth material spanning from visitors’ experiential feedback on exhibitions to digitally mediated interactions like ones happening social media platforms. Citizen curation is proposed context European project SPICE (Social Participation, Cohesion, Inclusion through Cultural...
Data integration is the dominant use case for RDF Knowledge Graphs. However, Web resources come in formats with weak semantics (for example, CSV and JSON), or specific to a given application BibTex, HTML, Markdown). To solve this problem, Graph Construction (KGC) gaining momentum due its focus on supporting users transforming data into RDF. using existing KGC frameworks result complex processing pipelines, which mix structural semantic mappings, whose development maintenance constitute...
The goal of this work is to describe how robots interact with complex city environments, and identify the main characteristics an emerging field that we call Robot–City Interaction (RCI). Given central role recently gained by modern cities as use cases for deployment advanced technologies, advancements achieved in robotics recent years, assume there increasing interest both integrating urban ecosystems, studying they can benefit from each others. Therefore, our challenge becomes verify...
The article reports on the evolution of data.open.ac.uk, Linked Open Data platform University, from a research experiment to data hub for open content University. Entirely based Semantic Web technologies (RDF and principles), data.open.ac.uk is used t o curate, publish access about academic degree qualifications, courses, scholarly publications educational resources It exposes SPARQL endpoint several other services support developers, including queries stored server-side entity lookup using...
Bias in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a critical and timely issue due to its sociological, economic legal impact, as decisions made by biased algorithms could lead unfair treatment of specific individuals or groups. Multiple surveys have emerged provide multidisciplinary view bias review areas such social sciences, business research, criminal justice, data mining. Given the ability Semantic Web (SW) technologies support multiple AI systems, we extent which semantics can be “tool” address...
A key skill for a journalist is the ability to assess newsworthiness of an event or situation. To this purpose journalists often rely on news angles, conceptual criteria that are used both i) whether something newsworthy and also ii) shape structure resulting item. As journalism becomes increasingly computer-supported, more sources potentially data become available in real time, it makes sense try equip journalistic software tools with operational versions so that, when searching vast space,...
Governing the life cycle of data on web is a challenging issue for organisations and users. Data distributed under certain policies that determine what actions are allowed in which circumstances. Assessing propagate to output process one crucial problem. Having description flow steps implies huge number propagation rules be specified computed (number times actions). In this paper we provide method obtain an abstraction allows reduce significantly. We use Datanode ontology, hierarchical...
Central to a number of emerging Smart Cities are online platforms for data sharing and reuse: Data Hubs Catalogues. These systems support the use by developers through enabling discoverability access. As such, effectiveness Catalogue can be seen as way in which it supports `data exploitability': ability assess whether provided is appropriate given task. Beyond technical compatibility, this also regards validating policies attached data. Here, we present methodology enable City better address...
Artificial intelligence systems are not simply built on a single dataset or trained model. Instead, they made by complex data science workflows involving multiple datasets, models, preparation scripts, and algorithms. Given this complexity, in order to understand these AI systems, we need provide explanations of their functioning at higher levels abstraction. To tackle problem, focus the extraction representation journeys from workflows. A journey is multi-layered semantic processing...
In recent years, two fields have become more prominent in our everyday life: smart cities and service robots. a city, information is collected from distributed sensors around the city into centralised data hubs used to improve efficiency of systems provide better services citizens. Exploiting major advances Computer Vision Machine Learning, robots evolved performing simple tasks playing role hotel concierges, museum guides, waiters cafes restaurants, home assistants, automated delivery...
This paper describes the use of Citizen Curation to explore ways in which cross-modal experiences can be used and created by museum visitors. defined as individuals groups from outside profession engaging curatorial activities communicate their own ideas stories. Previous work has explored how broaden range voices reflected museum, thereby widening its appeal relevance new audiences. Recent research suggests that experiences, combining visual art with music, enhance cultural experience...
This paper describes the design and use of Deep Viewpoints, a software platform for eliciting sharing citizen perspectives associated with museum artworks. The is inspired by process Slow Looking in which visitors are guided to observe artworks develop their own response. Within processes observing responding script comprising stages containing artworks, statements, prompts or questions follower can respond. Scripts intended either gallery remotely. We describe Viewpoints how it be used...
