Apache Stanbol as testbed for Knowledge Management Course: BaMaNews Project

Hi everybody! We are Carlo and Umberto, students of Computer Science at the University of Bologna.

Polymedia Semantic Video Annotation Services powered by Apache Stanbol

In order to be more effective and prepare for the industrial roadshow we decided to enhance our prototypes with respect to what was presented during the first two years of the project, namely: the Polymedia JSNI (Javascript Native Interface) Use Case and the the Multimedia Vertical Use Case (Editor and Player).

As early adopters of Apache Stanbol we presented at the 7th IKS workshop in Salzburg a first demo solution to show the advantages of the semantic web in an e—commerce solution. Continue Reading →

WordLift powers Enel.TV (Semantic TV Example)

The overall idea of Enel.tv (a website that will go online next month) was to celebrate Enel’s 50th Anniversary with the development of an interactive video channel dedicated to their archive. Founded in 1962, after an historic political debate that led to the nationalisation of 1,300 local electricity companies, Enel is now Italy’s largest electricity company and one of the main players World-Wide. In this post we will present ioio.js a framework we developed for WordLift users to personalize the user-experience on semantic-aware WordPress blogs (WordLift brings the power of Apache Stanbol to WordPress).
