From personal notes to linked social media

Abstract

Semantic technologies are available, and gain popularity on the Web as well as on the desktop, but both (desktop and Web) act as large data silos, making personal and online data difficult to interlink. We propose a system that enables easy publishing of personal notes as linked social media content, while at the same time semantically enriching the desktop resources with information retrieved from the Linked Data cloud. The transformation, publication and linking process is integrated with the familiar desktop applications and online blogging platforms, providing a better usability experience. © 2010, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.
