Semantic Enrichment of Memory Archives: Case Study on Jurka.net

Sonet Demonstration LiveMemories 26 11 09

View more presentations from Bruno Kessler Foundation.

Today I presented the first case study of the LiveMemories project: a joint work with SoNet, Opera Universitaria, Portobeseno, Cooperativa Mercurio, and Studiare a Trento.

In summary, the goal of the case study was to assess which web platforms people in Trentino would use for sharing memories, and how; and to collect memories from the local community and suggest how LiveMemories techniques can enrich them.

Our main activities in the case study were to:

• Identify a specific community of people (in this case, localized in a specific district of Trento)
• Test different ways in which they might share memories, both
  
• Offline: interviews, events, collection of memories in a photo format
• Online: providing web tools (Flickr, Facebook, Jurka.net)
  
• and reported how they used them, and what was most successful
• Imagine what kind of web services LM could offer to enrich memory archives

So, we chose to investigate the collection of memories, the fostering of a community, and the potential value of LiveMemories to such communities in a geographically limited case study, where the memories refer to a well defined place:
The district of San Bartolomeo

Enjoy!
