What is LION II?
LION II is the flagship SFI-funded project that drives the research in DERI. The research plan aims to
- develop the tools and techniques for creating, managing and exploiting networks of knowledge;
- produce real-world networks of knowledge that provide maximum gains over the coming years for human, organisational and systems problem solving;
- validate our hypothesis;
- create standards
What are the UIMR contributions to LION II?
Networks of knowledge are not created in a vacuum, but inside a highly dynamic information infrastructure – the Web provides us with a living laboratory enabling us to validate our approaches and hypothesis, and to improve our ideas.
The UIMR focuses on techniques to harness the massive amounts of dynamically-produced, semi-structured data produced by online communities by discovering the structures, relationships and concepts within this information, providing a means for its reuse and an understanding of the dynamics underlying its production. These goals are described by 3 tasks.
- Development of techniques for the selection and combination of symbolic features in collaborative information spaces, enabling context-based retrieval and filtering of networked resources
- Analysis of the structures and behaviours within online communities in order to link topics emerging in different communities.
- The development of richer personalisation, filtering and recommendation techniques based on user preferences, constraints and context, content analysis, content semantics and collaborative and social relationships. Tasks 1 & 2 will provide extensive input to Task 3.
