Juppie! Guess we have to think about an extended journal version now… ;-)

I had my presentation and session chair on Valentine day: Towards Enhanced User Interaction to Qualify Web Resources for Higher-layered Applications.

First, we introduce some background regarding the qKAI application framework. In Section 2 follows what we see as prerequisite to utilize Open Content for higher-layered applications. Section 3 gives an overview of the qKAI application frameworks’ system design. Section 4 offers some more details concerning the qKAI hybrid data layer as one system level of the 4-tier design. Section 5 shows further services and components, Section 6 exemplifies use cases and further application scenarios. At least this contribution ends up with a conclusion and future work in Section 7.

In this contribution we present our adaption of information quality aspects to qualify Web resources. We selected knowledge-related iq-criteria and take it now as tool to implement iq-mechanisms stepwise into the qKAI framework. We exemplify some criteria of information quality like relevance, accuracy or response time and then derive assessment methods for certain iq-criteria enabling rich, game-based user interaction and semantic resource annotation.

Automated extraction of text chunks out of Wikipedia without loosing structure and context is next to semantic annotation the main focus of his work.

The specification of information units can be found here: http://qkai.org/spec/2008/10/

The Wikipedia Extractor prototype is available under http://qkai.org/WikipediaExtractor
