Project name: Topia
Research group: Semantic Media Interfaces (INS2)

Coordinator of this project: Lloyd Rutledge 

The Topia project is developing a system that generates presentation structure around media objects returned from semantic-based queries. Current developments in three research areas -- semantic annotations, narrative structure and hypermedia presentation -- form three phases in one document processing chain. Emerging and established Semantic Web technologies provide computable descriptions of archived media. Formalized components of narrative theory serve as the basis for computer-generated and computable structure defining the structured progression of presentations. Hypermedia presentation devices for these narrative constructs guide the programming of transforms from structured progression over media to hypermedia presentations. This project's system will automatically process Semantic Web annotations for media into structured progressions that in turn transform into hypermedia presentations.
