From the attendee's perspective, students may use the recordings when working on homework assignments or preparing for exams, or to watch the contents of a missed class. From the instructor's perspective, a captured lecture may be evaluated, recaptured for improvements, or reused as complementary learning material. Moreover, captured lectures may be a valuable resource for e-learning and distance education courses. In this paper we detail the design rationale associated with the development of a prototype platform for the ubiquitous capture of live presentations and their transformation into a corresponding interactive multi-video object. Our approach includes capturing important context information which, when incorporated into the multimedia object, enables one to interact with the recorded lecture in novel dimensions. We tested our prototype by using case studies involving instructors and students, which allowed us to identify important features and novel uses for the platform.","PeriodicalId":114454,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Symposium on Multimedia and the Web","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116823677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People can take advantage from the semantic of the data to explore unknown concepts, new relationships and to obtain personalized access to relevant resources and services. However, it is not trivial for a user without experience with Web of Data, to satisfactorily explore and use these data. This paper presents the jRDFa, an approach to support the web developer interested in presenting to non-technical users, semantic data embedded in HTML pages in RDFa format.

We identify two such forms, called the First and Second Normal Forms (NF1 and NF2), in which links and connectors appear in simple terms. We also present normalization procedures (proofs), which show that for every NCL~3.0 program, there is an equivalent program in each of the forms. The mere existence of NF1 and NF2 makes the semantic analysis of programs simpler. Moreover, the symmetry exhibited by these forms suggests that the same principle of arbitrarily ordered evaluation underlies both the evaluation of link conditions and the execution of non-sequential compound actions.","PeriodicalId":114454,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Symposium on Multimedia and the Web","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122575039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, tags are not present in significant portions of Web 2.0 objects, which may impact the effectiveness of such methods. This problem, known as cold start, is the focus of this paper. We here evaluate the impact of the cold start on a family of methods for recommending tags. Our results show that the effectiveness of these methods suffer greatly when they cannot rely on previously assigned tags in the target object and that the use of automatic filtering strategies to alleviate the problem yields limited gains. We then propose a new strategy that exploits both positive and negative relevance feedback (RF) from the users to iteratively select input tags to these methods. The results show that the proposed strategy generates significant gains (up to 45%) over the best considered baseline. It is also shown that the proposed method is robust to the lack of user cooperation.","PeriodicalId":114454,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Symposium on Multimedia and the Web","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123380809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model-based specification can be used to communicate designs, for evaluation and to enable re-use. Our contribution continues previous research on model-based interaction technique design considers multimodal interaction and addresses problems like the state explosion, error management and consideration of output modalities mentioned by earlier research.
