The "e-Report" idea, based on WeKnowIt technologies, was presented at the 2nd labs.opengov.gr meeting (in Greek). It promotes citizens participation and contribution combined with large-scale content analysis and structuring for efficient addressing local and environmental problems.

ER Log Merging and Management tool available

http://mklab.iti.gr:8080/LogMergerDemo Managing and reviewing the log fi les that are created by the Emergency Response (ER) personnel in the course of an emergency incident is a critical task for understanding and improving the implemented ER actions. A major challenge arising in this task is the fact that multiple log fi les are created by diff erent members of the ER personnel. As a result, extensive manual e ffort is necessary in order to merge and align the incoming log entries in order to make them suitable for review.

ClustTour City Exploration tool available

http://www.clusttour.gr ClustTour is an online city exploration application that helps users identify interesting spots in a city by use of photo clusters corresponding to landmarks and events. ClustTour is based on an efficient landmark and event detection scheme for tagged photo collections. The proposed scheme relies on the combination of a graph-based photo clustering algorithm, making use of both visual and tag information of photos, with a cluster classiffication and merging module.
