Exploring Folksonomies: Enhancing 3D Virtual Social Experience in Museums

This presentation discusses the concept of folksonomies, collaborative tagging systems that empower users to categorize and annotate digital content. Highlighting both advantages, such as user participation and contextual information availability, and disadvantages, like lack of standardization, the talk examines innovative applications in the context of virtual 3D museums. By integrating tools like OpenCalais and various social platforms, the project aims to enrich user interaction and data retrieval in immersive environments, emphasizing the blend of semantic databases and social features.

  6. so what do wehave, what do wewant? • Wehave: • Information from WGA aboutpaintings: • Author,place and year of birth, death, title, date, technique, location, form, type, school, timeline and a description! • About 20.000paintingsarecategorized • Wewant: • Tags and informationthatisnotobvious

  7. In order to getfurtherinformation, wemakeuse of • Opencalais • Flickr • Image Matching • Youtube • Weeventriedtwitter

  8. Outlook • Make tags available in 3D environment • Make tags changeable in the 3D environment • If tags areadded, also addthem in Flickr • Combinewithothersemanticdatabases (freebase, etc.) • Addmoresocialfeatures to the 3D environment • Videos • inside-picturetagging • add a fixedvocabulary (dbpedia)

  9. Whatelsehavewedone • Working on publications! • Wepublishedaboutbook-chapter „Museums on the Web: Interaction withVisitors“for a handbookcalled„Handbook of Research on Technologies and CulturalHeritage: Applications and Environments“ • We will presentourPhD-Progress at theICWE 2010 DoctoralConsortium • Working on paperfortheDIMEA 2010(Digital Interactive Media Entertainment and Arts) in Taiwan
