Picturemarks: Changes in mining media and digital storytelling

Abstract

Picturemarks is a proof-of-concept web platform that enables annotation, curation, and augmentation of works. We investigate how a mining media platform can browse a huge set of image objects along with their digital object identifiers, leading to completely new mining media and automatic bookmarking scenarios, eliminating the need of manual bookmarking and repeated searching. Our web platform is entirely real-time and is designed to work on any platforms. We present a detailed exploration in how the platform is developing media-rich, shareable stories and forming augments about them, both on individual and collective level.
