INSEMTIVES

INSEMTIVES - Incentives for Semantics.

to bridge the gap between human and computational intelligence in the current semantic content authoring R&D landscape. The project aims at producing methodologies, methods and tools that enable the massive creation and feasible management of semantic content in order to facilitate the world-wide uptake of semantic tech.

INSEMTIVES combines research with development and real-world applications. The foundations are methods and guidelines facilitating semantic content creation in an incentives-driven manner. They underlie the INSEMTIVES platform (back-end) and various end-user tools for semantic content creation (front-end). These technology components are used in three case studies targeting the management of enterprise content, the annotation of Web service artifacts, and the management of multimedia in online worlds and games.

INSEMTIVES is funded as an Information and Communication Technologies Project under European Commission 7th FP. It started on 1st April 2009 and will run till March 2012. INSEMTIVES is coordinated by STI Innsbruck, Austria.

Project objectives

The main project goal is to:

define incentive models and process methodologies for semantic content authoring, mechanisms to integrate human and computational intelligence, methods supporting various phases of the life cycle of the generated content and models for its representation;
insure acceptance across a broad audience, we aim at developing lightweight, Web-based, software components that will be smoothly integrated into the INSEMTIVES Platform and Toolkit;
show the appropriateness of the research and development undertaken in the project within diverse scenarios, ranging from the entertainment sector to enterprise knowledge management, through Web data and services consumption.
