  • Mapodwalk Caster
    A USER ENVIRONMENT FOR SYNDICATING AND AGGREGATING MAP-INTEGRATED AUDIO TOURS: MAPODWALK CASTER Ken’ichi Tsuruoka [email protected] Masatoshi Arikawa [email protected] Center for Spatial Information Science The University of Tokyo Kashiwanoha-5-1-5, Kashiwa City, Chiba, Japan Abstract In this paper, we focus on providing users new environment for syndicating and aggregating audio tours with animated maps over the Internet. Geotagged photos nowadays are getting popular as one of the spatial content on the Internet in the revolution of Where 2.0. However, this single media of photo often has some difficulty to represent users’ sequential stories and their context. On the other hand, audio streams are able to contain sequential stories and their context effectively. But users have difficulty on syndicating place-related audio streams compared with geotagged photos because there is no user-friendly environment for sharing audio streams with geotags. We have implemented maPodWalk Caster to solve the problems of syndicating and aggregating geotagged audio tours. The platform provides a place-related aggregation by storing geotagged audio stream and new experiments on place-related audio stream sharing opportunities for geospatial communication. 1. Introduction There are web-based broadcasting content called Podcast. It allows people to create and distribute various kinds of audio content for their interest such as ones for introducing a person’s interest. The large number of free Podcast is increasing on the Internet for commercial and non-commercial purposes. Some Podcast is made for guiding and telling stories about the real world.

Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Facebook Facebook is a social networking site, allowing individuals, companies, organizations, and associations to post text, video, pictures, links to other web content and combinations of all these electronic media. Flickr Flickr offers hosting for pictures and videos. Users can include text commentary, group photos or video.

    RSS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 6 RSS From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from RSS feeds) RSS (most commonly expanded as Really Simple RSS Syndication ) is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. [2] An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", [3] or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship.

  • Trust-Based Revision for Expressive Web Syndication
    Trust-Based Revision for Expressive Web Syndication Jennifer Golbeck1 and Christian Halaschek-Wiener2 1College of Information Studies 2Department of Computer Science University of Maryland, College Park College Park, Maryland 20742 {golbeck,halasche}@cs.umd.edu Abstract Interest in web-based syndication systems has been growing as information streams onto the web at an increasing rate. Technologies, like the standard Semantic Web languages RDF and OWL, make it possible to create expressive representations of the content of publications and subscriptions in a syndication framework. Because these languages are based in description logics, this representation allows the application to reasoning to make more precise matching of user interests with published information. A challenge to this approach is that the consistency of the underlying knowledge base must be maintained for these techniques to work. With the frequent addition of information from new publications, it is likely that inconsistencies will arise. There are many potential mechanisms for choosing which inconsistent information to discard from the KB to regain consistency; in the case of news syndication, we argue keeping the most trusted information is important for generating the most valuable matches. Thus, in this article, we present algorithms for belief-base revision, and specifically look at the user’s trust in the information sources as a metric for deciding what to keep in the KB and what to remove. 1 Introduction The interest in web-based syndication systems has been growing as information streams onto the web at an increasing rate. In a typical syndication framework, a publisher posts feeds on the web and registers those feeds with a syndication broker.
