MemoryBook: generating narratives from lifelogs

Abstract

Automatic capture of life logging data can be extremely information rich, large and varied. Extracting a narrative from this data can be difficult because not all of the data is conducive to producing interesting narratives. Life logging data can be enriched by linking to the Semantic Web and narratives can be enriched with data extracted from Semantic Web knowledge stores. In this paper, we present MemoryBook which is a web interface that automatically generates narratives from life logging data in RDF form and from Semantic Web knowledge stores, and highlights maps and images which are associated with events in the narrative.
