Project Kirby
Project Kirby showcases the use of Twine semantic technology for collaboration and interest networking, working together with the Semantic Exchange web site to provide a composite community tool for presenting extensive, living documents.
To support these demonstrations, we first posted the Technology Section of the Semantic Wave 2008 Report into a private Twine (called Project Kirby). Here, the text from each page appears as HTML along with an image of the entire page. Twine automatically created an RDF semantic graph of the contents of each page in the Kirby Twine.
In Semantic Exchange we constructed two different ways to access and navigate the content in the Project Kirby Twine.
- The first demo accesses pages by question and answer topics. These Q&As come from the page headers for each of the pages in the report. The sequence of Q&A topics follows the ordering of subjects in the table of contents.
- The second demo accesses pages by a topic index. The index lists topics in alphabetical order. When you select a concept (or phrase), it fires off a query into Twine that examines the semantic graph that was generated for pages in the Twine. The semantic search returns short summaries of the relevant pages in the Project Kirby Twine, which you can click to view and read.
