Reframing Web 2.0 as a Public Service for the Right to CommunicateSebastian Deterding
This document proposes conceptualizing the internet as a public service with 8 modules to ensure universal access and participation. It suggests 3 layers - content, logical, and physical - each with "right to read" and "right to write" aspects. Public services would cover essential modules, while civil society and Web 2.0 technologies fill remaining gaps by making content consumable and shareable with open protocols and hosting. Potential problems include safeguarding freedom of expression and critical infrastructure. Next steps are to extend the model beyond media and address privacy.

LinkedTV Deliverable 3.8 - Design guideline document for concept-based presen...LinkedTV
This document presents the results of a user study conducted to determine guidelines for selecting relevant entities from news videos to provide additional information about. The study identified entities users find most interesting from five news videos by extracting candidate entities from various sources and having participants rate them. The results showed users prefer person and organization entities over locations and sources like subtitles alone are insufficient, performing better when combined with expert suggestions or related articles. Wikipedia was found to provide generally useful additional information about the entities. Engineering guidelines are also provided for presenting aggregated web content in news companion applications.
LinkedTV Deliverable 2.7 - Final Linked Media Layer and EvaluationLinkedTV
This deliverable presents the evaluation of content annotation and content enrichment systems that are part of the final tool set developed within the LinkedTV consortium. The evaluations were performed on both the Linked News and Linked Culture trial content, as well as on other content annotated for this purpose. The evaluation spans three languages: German (Linked News), Dutch (Linked
Culture) and English. Selected algorithms and tools were also subject to benchmarking in two international contests: MediaEval 2014 and TAC’14. Additionally, the Microposts 2015 NEEL Challenge is being organized with the support of LinkedTV.
LinkedTV Deliverable 1.6 - Intelligent hypervideo analysis evaluation, final ...LinkedTV
This deliverable describes the conducted evaluation activities for assessing the performance of a number of developed methods for intelligent hypervideo analysis and the usability of the implemented Editor Tool for supporting video annotation and enrichment. Based on the performance evaluations reported in D1.4 regarding a set of LinkedTV analysis components, we extended our experiments for assessing the effectiveness of newer versions of these methods as well as of entirely new techniques, concerning the accuracy and the time efficiency
of the analysis. For this purpose, in-house experiments and participations at international benchmarking activities were made, and the outcomes are reported in this deliverable. Moreover, we present the results of user trials regarding the developed Editor Tool, where groups of experts assessed its usability and the supported functionalities, and
evaluated the usefulness and the accuracy of the implemented video segmentation approaches based on the analysis requirements of the LinkedTV scenarios. By this deliverable we complete the reporting of WP1 evaluations that aimed to assess the efficiency of the developed
multimedia analysis methods throughout the project, according to the analysis requirements of the LinkedTV scenarios.
LinkedTV Deliverable 5.5 - LinkedTV front-end: video player and MediaCanvas A...LinkedTV
The LinkedTV media player and API has evolved from a single player and limited API in version 1 to a toolkit to allow rapid development and creation of different kind of applications within the HTML5 / multiscreen space. The main reason for this transition is that during the course of the Linked TV project different partners had different requirements for their scenarios. Instead of trying to fit all these requirements into one player and, most likely, compromise on the functionalities of the scenarios we wanted to offer something that would allow all partners a satisfiable solution.
Therefore the Springfield Multiscreen Toolkit, or short SMT, has been developed. The aim for the SMT was to allow flexibility for developing multiscreen applications. Also from a commercial point of view a toolkit with examples is more interesting than a pure player as it gives the freedom of developing new ideas with the LinkedTV platform.
LinkedTV - an added value enrichment solution for AV content providersLinkedTV
Linked Television is offering a solution for audiovisual content owners to semi-automatically enrich media with links to additional information and content related to objects and topics in the program and build client applications which access this data and provide new added value services to consumers.

This deliverable presents the WP4 contextualisation final im-plementation. As contextualization has a high impact on all the other modules of WP4 (especially personalization and recom-mendation), the deliverable intends to provide a picture of the final WP4 workflow implementation.
LinkedTV Deliverable D3.7 User Interfaces selected and refined (version 2)LinkedTV
This report describes the LinkedTV user interfaces. Based on the results user studies and the initial evaluation of the year 2 prototype we selected and refined the interfaces. We selected a single screen application that uses HbbTV technology to provide additional information about a TV program as an overlay on the TV broadcast. In addition, we worked towards TV program companion applications that are tailored for two domains: news and cultural heritage. With these applications we demonstrate different types of interaction modes, such as synchronized content on a second screen, and bookmarking chapters combined with the exploration of related content after the program. The interfaces are built on top of the Multiscreen Toolkit. We created a component-based infrastructure that allows us to quickly create tailored companion applications by reusing and configuring interface components. In the final part of the project we finalize this approach and test it by applying it to a new domain.
LinkedTV Deliverable D2.6 LinkedTV Framework for Generating Video Enrichments...LinkedTV
This deliverable describes the final LinkedTV framework that provides a set of possible enrichment resources for seed video content using techniques such as text and web mining, information extraction and information retrieval technologies. The enrichment content is obtained from four type of sources: a) by crawling and indexing web sites described in a white list specified by the content partners,
b) by querying the API or SPARQL endpoint of the Europeana digital library network which is publicly exposed, c) by querying multiple social networking APIs, d) by hyperlinking to other parts of TV programs within the same collection using a Solr index. This deliverable
also describes an additional content annotation functionality, namely labelling enrichment (as well as seed) content with thematic topics, as well as the process of exposing content annotations to this module and to the filtering services of LinkedTV’s personalization workflow. We illustrate the enrichment workflow for the two main scenarios of LinkedTV which have lead to the development of the LinkedCulture and LinkedNews applications, which respectively use the TVEnricher and TVNewsEnricher enrichment services. The original title of this deliverable from the DoW was Advanced concept labelling by complementary Web mining.
LinkedTV Deliverable D1.5 The Editor Tool, final release LinkedTV
This document reports on the design and implementation of the final version of the editor tool (ET) v2.0, where its purpose is to serve the program editing teams of broadcasters that have adopted LinkedTV’s interactive television solution into their workflow. Two of these teams are currently represented in the LinkedTV project, namely the RBB team and the AVROTROS team (formerly known as AVRO).
The main purpose of the ET is to provide a means to correct and curate automatically generated annotations and hyperlinks created by the audiovisual and textual analysis technologies developed in WP 1 and 2 of the LinkedTV project. Without the intervention of human editors to correct this data, there is a reasonable risk of exposing inappropriate, incorrect or irrelevant information to the viewers of a LinkedTV interactive broadcast.
LinkedTV Deliverable D1.4 Visual, text and audio information analysis for hyp...LinkedTV
Having extensively evaluated the performance of the technologies included in the first release of WP1 multimedia analysis tools, using content from the LinkedTV scenarios and by participating in international benchmarking activities, concrete decisions regarding the
appropriateness and the importance of each individual method or combination of methods were made, which, combined with an updated list of information needs for each scenario, led to a new set of analysis requirements that had to be addressed through the release of the final set of analysis techniques of WP1. To this end, coordinated efforts on three directions, including
(a) the improvement of a number of methods in terms of accuracy and time efficiency,
(b) the development of new technologies and (c) the definition of synergies between methods for obtaining new types of information via multimodal processing, resulted in the final bunch of multimedia analysis methods for video hyperlinking. Moreover, the different developed analysis modules have been integrated into a web-based infrastructure, allowing the fully automatic linking of the multitude of WP1 technologies and the overall LinkedTV platform.
LinkedTV D8.6 Market and Product Survey for LinkedTV Services and TechnologyLinkedTV

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:
⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality?
⦿ Why is patent quality important?
⦿ How to balance quality and budget
⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise
⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications

8. Formal Ontologies
www.linkedtv.eu
General upper level ontologies
DOLCE, SUMO, BFO, PROTON, …
Advantages:
Rich expressivity
Consistency and well-defined structure
Efficient alignment support over middle and domain ontologies for cross-domain
data handling
Disadvantages:
Generic
Voluminous
Ontologies for the media (TV) super-domain
BBC Programmes ontology
AVATAR ontology

9. User-specific ontologies & vocabularies
www.linkedtv.eu
Cognitive Characteristics Ontology
Upper characteristics schema (skills, interests, competences…)
OCUM (Ontological Cognitive User Model)
Imager, verbalizer, …
GUMO
Personality, facial expressions, motion, social environment, topics
FOAF & FOAF-WI
Relationships between people, social networking attributes, interest
expression schema

10. Aligning LOD and formal ontologies
www.linkedtv.eu
Purpose:
Unify relevant schemata under a more lightweight core ontology
Unify individuals under a single type and mapping them to the uniform schema
Individuals classification
NERD ontology
LOD mappings: Alchemy, DBPedia Spotlight, Extractiv, OpenCalais, Zemanta
Schema alignment
S-Match
Class labels information
AROMA
Association rule mining
BLOOMS
Wikipedia & DBPedia for LOD schema alignment, can map to upper level formal ontologies
BLOOMS+: contextual information to map LOD to PROTON
LogMap
Scalable automatic mapping & mappings consistency checking

12. The LinkedTV ontology (LUMO) design principles
www.linkedtv.eu
Homogenization of multidisciplinary and diverse information
Scalable modeling and matchmaking
Context modeling
Reuse of existing vocabularies and schemata
Use only the knowledge that means something to the user and for the
user of a smart TV environment
Expressive enough to make efficient inferencing
Selective (automatic) domain specific knowledge incorporation
Concept space based on more granular DBPedia subsets
Mappings to classify content to the lightweight LUMO and not to
represent preferences per se

14. Minimizing the concept space
www.linkedtv.eu
Voluminous cross-domain information
Multilingual content
Single conceptualisation
Avoid redundant steps in the
inferencing process

15. Mappings
www.linkedtv.eu
Annotation-indexed fuzzy mappings
Separate Mappings
<EquivalentClasses> To not only concepts
<Class abbreviatedIRI="dbpedia:LOCATION"/>
<Class abbreviatedIRI="schema:Place"/>
but possibly plain
<Class abbreviatedIRI="lumo:Location"/> keywords, labels
</EquivalentClasses>

16. Future work:
Knowledge pulling and learning www.linkedtv.eu
Complexity minimization and scalability maximization upon
matchmaking:
Contextual knowledge pulling
Location and time-based context
Current viewing context
Evolving knowledge and group-specific knowledge
User clustering and learning cluster-specific knowledge (rules)
Expressivity to support rules

17. Conclusions
www.linkedtv.eu
A more lightweight user-pertinent ontology: LUMO
First version to be released by the end of the year under
data.linkedtv.eu/lumo
Encompassing content related and context (user characteristics,
sensor-extracted data) related knowledge
Emphasis on minimizing concept space yet maintaining sufficient
expressivity and meaningful information
Multilinguality support
