An Approach to Constructing a General Framework for Creative Computing: Incorporating Semantic Web

Human creativity has been studied for a long time and in various domains. In contemporary society, computing, due to its great power, has been widely used to help people to understand and facilitate human creativity. However, most of them are still focusing on the virtualisations of tools, e.g., apps like Magic Piano and systems like MindGenius. As the relationships between creativity and computing have changed dramatically over time, more and more novel concepts, such as Creative Computing, start to play an increasingly important role in human creativity enhancement. The key concern of Creative Computing is how to improve human creativity through computing in creative ways. Due to its unique features, a specific supporting structure can be very helpful for the development of Creative Computing. Therefore, a framework, as a large-scale design of architecture, may be a good way to go. Due to the growth of "computing intelligence", there have been an enormous number of promising technologies to use, such as Semantic Web. Based on the relationships between data, the technologies of Semantic Web may be able to add creative "logics" into computing. Hence, in this paper, an approach to constructing a general framework for Creative Computing based on Semantic Web technologies will be discussed.
