Digital Heritage Enrichment through Artificial Intelligence and SemanticWeb Technologies
2019
Art and culture represent substantial ways to transfer the history of humans across civilizations and epochs. Preserving artwork and cultural objects is thus important and the focus of multiple institutions and governments around the world. Digital preservation in cultural heritage represents a cost-effective and reliable long-term preservation and several challenges related to its effectiveness and its reliability have arisen such as metadata enrichment, digital curation, link discoveries, etc. Through this paper, we discuss these challenges and present innovative ways that leverage recent endeavors in artificial intelligence and semantic web technologies to enrich cultural data. Our contr…
Publication Network Analysis of an Academic Family in Information Systems
2011
The study of scientific collaboration through network analysis can give interesting conclusions about the publication habits of a scientific community. Co-authorship networks represent scientific collaboration as a graph: nodes correspond to authors, edges between nodes mark joint publications (Newman 2001a,b). Scientific publishing is decentralized. Choices of co-authors and research topics are seldomly globally coordinated. Still, the structure of co-authorship networks is far from random. Co-authorship networks are governed by principles that are similar in other complex networks such as social networks (Wasserman and Faust 1994), networks of citations between scientific papers (Egghe an…

Paratextual Prometheus. Digital Paratexts on YouTube, Vimeo and Prometheus Transmedia Campaign
2015
The object of this article is to map correspondences between the literacy of books and the literacy of online video platforms, in order to create common ground between both media and assist transmedia storytellers in the task of exploring video platforms with in-depth knowledge of each textual element surrounding video content. The article proposes a comprehensive categorization and typification of surrounding information in the standard video pages of YouTube and Vimeo, using Gerard Genette’s theory of paratexts as a basic framework. The analysis found that the interplay between paratextual elements, the audience feedback and the absence of endorsement from authors to paratexts created by …
SIS-M
2012
In this paper we describe the outcome of the SIS-M project, consisting in the development of web support system for the teacher of an inclusive school. In this kind of centers, the ordinary training is developed with people with disabilities. Although the availability of adequate supports, the management of the school and the heterogeneity of students requires tools that help in day to day. SIS-M provides tools that supports the basic management of the school, and due to the use of natural language processing tools, ontologies and location in real time, allows that the educator could receive the sugestion of activities that the system considers most appropriate for students in class at all …
A collaborative writing approach to wikis: Design, implementation, and evaluation
2011
Published version of an article from the journal:Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology. Also available from the publisher: http://iisit.org/Vol8/IISITv8p431-449Hadjerrouit224.pdf Wikis provide teachers with potentially significant opportunities for creating socially engaged tasks that require active student participation and collaboration. Wikis allow students to work together to develop content on the web, giving them a sense of how writing can be carried out collaboratively. Collaborative writing offer opportunities not only to practice literature review, academic reading and writing, but also to stimulate reflection, knowledge sharing, and critical thinking. However, des…
The Websites of the Contrade
2017
This chapter presents and analyses the outgoing and incoming links of the contrade’s websites as a preface to the interpretative analysis of the following two chapters. The analysis suggests that the contrade inhabit , on the World Wide Web , places that create intimacy. This chapter proposes that the contrade appropriate and use new technologies as part of their processes of community building . They attempt to present themselves to various outsiders in a way that, on the surface, is uniform, but which, at a deeper level, is fragmented.
A thread through challenging questions
2015
In the pages which follow I shall try to present a network relating some challenging different problems and questions; questions and problems which in different forms have been discussed with Enric along the years. The thread, of course, is constructed by me and now, and is based on my memory, choices and preferences. For these reasons I am not sure that Enric will totally agree with the particular way in which I have intertwined the different elements composing the thread as well as the pieces it connects. However I presume that this thread - also in the specific subjective form as it appears - will show, anyway, some elements of Enric’s activity and the way in which we have interacted alo…
