Interlinking current affairs with archives via the Semantic Web

چکیده
The BBC has a very large archive of programmes, covering a wide range of topics. This archive holds a significant part of the BBC’s institutional memory and is an important part of the cultural history of the United Kingdom and the rest of the world. These programmes, or parts of them, can help provide valuable context and background for current news events. However the BBC’s archive catalogue is not a complete record of everything that was ever broadcast. For example, it excludes the BBC World Service, which has been broadcasting since 1932. This makes the discovery of content within these parts of the archive very difficult. In this paper we describe a system based on Semantic Web technologies which helps us to quickly locate content related to current news events within those parts of the BBC’s archive with little or no pre-existing metadata. This system is driven by automated interlinking of archive content with the Semantic Web, user validations of the resulting data and topic extraction from live BBC News subtitles. The resulting interlinks between live news subtitles and the BBC’s archive are used in a dynamic visualisation enabling users to quickly locate relevant content. This content can then be used by journalists and editors to provide historical context, background information and supporting content around current affairs. This document is a pre-print of the article published in the 2013 International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2013) proceedings. Additional key words:

Automatic Interlinking of Music Datasets on the Semantic Web
In this paper, we describe current efforts towards interlinking music-related datasets on the Web. We first explain some initial interlinking experiences, and the poor results obtained by taking a näıve approach. We then detail a particular interlinking algorithm, taking into account both the similarities of web resources and of their neighbours. We detail the application of this algorithm in t...
متن کاملInterlinking Media Archives with the Web of Data
Today’s enterprises heavily rely upon accurate, consistent, and timely access to data. However, company data is typically scattered across multiple databases and file shares in a multitude of forms and versions. Moreover, an increasing amount of valuable background information is available outside the companies' influence and control. This situation is typical for many enterprise information in...
متن کاملLinked Data Principles for Services and Streams
Introduction A recent trend in data management involves real-time access to dynamic data sources, driven by the increasing deployment of sensors. In addition, more and more web sites expose data and computation via services, often in form of web application programming interfaces (APIs). The current Semantic Web technology stack does not explicitly provide support for dynamic data (Figure 1). T...
متن کاملA procedure for Web Service Selection Using WS-Policy Semantic Matching
In general, Policy-based approaches play an important role in the management of web services, for instance, in the choice of semantic web service and quality of services (QoS) in particular. The present research work illustrates a procedure for the web service selection among functionality similar web services based on WS-Policy semantic matching. In this study, the procedure of WS-Policy publi...
