Dear readers,Welcome to the fifth issue of the WeKnowIt project newsletter, which is delivered to your inbox with all the latest news and events of the project, useful information and tips. Enjoy! Hot NewsAt the end of March WeKnowIt has reached its end. In total 40 services were integrated in 6 main prototypes (2 mobile) and 13 independent prototypes and demos. In early May the project passed succesfully its final review where its research and integration effort was highly praised. WeKnowIt will continue its awareness activities through real-life testing of the prototypes (e.g. St. Paul's Carnival, July 2nd, Bristol). Keep an eye on it! |

Fannr - Flickr Annotator
Fannr – Flickr Annotator – is a prototype application for assisting users in annotating their Flickr photos. It integrates several services from WeKnowIt project partners. Two types of annotation support is provided when annotating a single photo. 1) Tag recommendation, where the user is presented with a list of tags that they could consider adding to their photo. 2) Location recommendation, where the user is presented with several potential locations as to help them remember where the photo was taken. Both the tag recommendation and the location recommendation is based on data from different social levels: the user's own photos (personal intelligence); the photos of the user's contacts (social intelligence); everybody's photos (mass intelligence); and visually similar photos (media intelligence). Furthermore, for photos that have been localized the tag-recommendation is also based on geographically close-by photos. When the user has identified tags that they want to add to their photos or identified the location where the photo was taken, the Fannr prototype updates the annotation on the Flickr website using the Flickr API. |
New Public Deliverables
The WeKnowIt consortium has decided to make public the majority of the deliverables produced during the project lifetime. A series of 22 deliverables originally meant to be confidential are now available for download from the WeKnowIt deliverables page. Check them out! |
WeKnowIt APIs
A web page where available APIs from all partners are listed has been developed. The WKI-APIs page describes in detail how the developed WeKnowIt services can be accessed and tested and provides links to responsible partner and person for further information and communication. The objective is two-fold: on one hand to publicly provide to interested users the WeKnowIt services, but also to serve as a “one-stop” site where WeKnowIt specific technologies are presented and can be accessed. If you are interested in exploiting WeKnowIt technologies in collaboration with the project partners, instead of visiting several sites or downloading documents and software in different formats, you can find there a lot of the WeKnowIt services in a uniform format. For more detailed information regarding each service, you can contact the responsible partner and person. |
WeKnowIt Content
Due to the heterogeneous nature of the tasks addressed within WeKnowIt, the partners collected custom fit data that helped them solve the task at hand. The different used datasets do, however, come together through the integration of the corresponding services in the prototypes for the two different use cases. The task of collection, exchange and repackaging of multimedia content (text, images, video, and speech), user and user interaction data that was used within both use case scenarios as well as for the evaluation of research performed within the scope of the project, has been summarised in a single Content web page. The content sources described therein enable semantic content analysis and metadata extraction, while user data enables social network analysis and trend detection facilitating the extraction and generation of Collective Intelligence. If you are interested in acquiring any of these datasets, you can come to contact with the responsible person indicated in each case. |
