7 Media types are flourishing Personal computers spreadsheet word processor Web browser Google link-based search algorithms Web 2.0 blogs facebook (linked data) 13 Why can t we design new technology? users unable to see beyond current technology technologists busy developing incremental, complex technology new technology enables new/unpredictable functionality don t know how to talk users about their real needs interface designers new solutions close to existing solutions (new media) artists random exploration of interaction space driven by novel/creative but not useful 14 7

8 The Problem The semantic web is new technology and is developing rapidly We don t know how users want to use it We don t know how to combine pieces of media and knowledge to help users 15 The Context Web open and linked is with us now Semantic Web open and richly linked is under development particularly for machine processing User s information seeking task 16 8

9 Interaction Design for the SW Long term goal to find and present information to end-users In a way that is useful to them You understand interfaces and how to design them by hand. How can machines help us with the details? We can capture semantics about information design for re-use. Not there yet. We can use information sources available on the SW and make them available to end-users. That s what much of this week is about. Then we need to deal with: Selecting a sub-set (semantic search) Grouping and ordering (linking to extra) for presentation. (Start with "data" based structuring and move to discourse based.) New search functionality beyond fact-finding And then we need to understand what good new interfaces are. Evaluating an existing interface is relatively easy 17 Overview of topics Dependencies in multimedia design Semantics for improving interaction NewsML 2.0: semantics of news media assets Vox Populi: creating argument structure with video fragments 18 9

11 Content of example Clair-obscur (Frans) en chiaroscuro (Italiaans) betekenen 'licht-donker'. Beide termen worden gebruikt om sterke licht-donkercontrasten in schilderijen, tekeningen en prenten aan te duiden. Hoewel het effect al eerder werd toegepast, is de term pas sinds het einde van de 16de eeuw in zwang. De oorsprong van het woord ligt in Italië. De schilder Caravaggio ( ) maakte het chiaroscuroeffect tot zijn handelsmerk. Hij was een meester in het schilderen van donkere taferelen met één felle lichtbundel. 21 Three ingredients Presentation structure Content 22 11
