SWHi Demo and Poster at the ESWC 2007
by Ismail Fahmi | June 5, 2007 |
In the ESWC 2007, I presented a poster and a demo about my work at the Library, in collaboration with Junte Zhang (previous master student) and two supervisors, Gosse Bouma and Henk Ellermann. Lately I was helped by Peter Scholing and Rene v.d. Ark to improve the program.
The paper was published in the LNCS on “The Semantic Web: Research and Application” and can be downloaded here: http://www.eswc2007.org/pdf/eswc07-fahmi.pdf . The poster it self can be downloaded here: …odur..(UPLOAD)
From 7 to 9.30 p.m. there are around 10 system descriptions (poster + demo), 17 demos, and 37 posters presented on the Kristal Foyer floor of the Innsbruck Congress. My paper is entitled “SWHi: A Case Study in Information Retrieval,k Inference, and Visualization in the Semantic Web.:
I got more than 15 visitors in this session which some of them are interested in the implementation of semantic web for culture and history domain, want to know how the ontology populated, how I use GATE to get name entities and relations (which I haven’t really integrate with this system), and give comments and suggestions for the improvement of the system.
The following are some important notes from some notable visitors:
Andy Seaborne [HP Labs, http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/afs/] asked how if a user want to add their comments, or correct relatinships generated by the system. These features are not yet implemented in the SWHi’s berrypicking or bookmarking model. His questions actually underlined what I have gotten the day before during a workshop that community-based feature is a must in a future semantic digital library. Like the Plos One application which use Fedore as its main engine, also provides annotation feature to users. To each scientific paper, a user can add his comments and share it to other readers.
Danny Ayers [http://dannyayers.com/] came to my booth to meet Andy when I just started to answer Andy’s questions. He quickly recognize the Network Graph on my poster. “I know it, TouchGraph!” Then, he gave his opinion about the tool, that according to him TouchGraph’s code is somehow messy. However, the creator gets a lot of benefits from selling it to companies.
Armando Stellato [http://ai-nlp.info.uniroma2.it/stellato/] with his Semantic Turkey poster was sitting near my table. His application, Semantic Turkey, a plugin of Firefox for bookmarking important information based on an ontology system, is more or less has similar feature with my SWHi: on bookmarking and using TouchGraph for visualizing the network. Both of us use LinkBrowser version of the TouchGraph. His visualization is somehow basic and can be improved like the one I did by adding icons, modifying colors, font, hints, and borders. He want to know if someday the SWHi application will be ready for download.
Osma Suominen from Finland has a nice faceted search implementation for his Citizen’s Health Portal. Since the first day of the conference, I have met him and share our works as well as some personal information like families. We have interests on each other works. I gave him the address of the SWHi site (developmental version) and from him I got ideas for exploring faceted search features more than before, and to use Solr/Lucene for searching the ontology to get better and faster performance. At this moment, generating a ClusterMap data may take 1 or more minutes and still only 100 search results that are clustered. These are caused by the use of direct queries to the Sesame. In the future, I will index the ontology using Solr and send queries to it, especially for incomplex queries, for example to get properties of an instance.
Wrap up:
[1] The idea of berrypicking is fancy. Many visitor impressed with it. However, more work to be done in the future:
* provide more features on personalization and should be more community-based
* beside provide a grapical visualization, there should be an option to provide suggestion in a textual-base presentation
[2] Provide indexes of contained subjects in the front page (as suggested by Peter) automatically either from ontology or from faceted search.
[3] Provide textual representation for the ClusterMap, which can be combined with the faceted search feature.
[4] Improve the performance by exploiting Solr/Lucene.

Hi Ismail,
I really enjoyed our conversation at the ESWC last week in Innsbruck. It was a good conf ! Your application seems to be of a great help for historians and looks also professional. The system could be for sure extended to other domains, so hope you encounter some success developing that.
Best,
Othman.
Hi Othman,
Thanks for ‘visiting’ me. I also enjoy our meeting at the ESWC. I got a lot of ideas from the conference to improve the SWHi application. I hope you also gained some insights to bring your application to be one of the best ontology tool.
Wassalam,
