Title : Clustering Cultural Heritage Objects using Linked Data
| Presenter | Chris Dijkshoorn |
| Abstract | This talk will be a rehearsal for my talk at ICT.Open 2013. The contents of the talk: online cultural heritage collections can be difficult to access. This is often due to the direct translation of collection management system data to metadata for accessing online objects and the missing narrative which is normally provided by curators in museum. By linking the available data to entities in the Linked Data cloud, rich new sources of information and relations are added. We use these relations to find paths between objects, thereby creating semantic clusters of search results. In the SEALINCMedia project the clusters help to support external experts in annotating objects of the Rijksmuseum. |
Title : Myndplay Brainband: First impressions and results
| Presenter | Jeroen de Man |
| Abstract | Recently, the Intertain Lab acquired two low-cost consumer EEG devices from Myndplay. Devices such as these, with a single or a small number of dry EEG electrodes, are easy to use and thus seem a viable option as a sensor in ambient technologies. In the first half of the presentation, I will give a brief overview of the technology, explain its measurements and how it could be used in the STRESS project. In the second half, I'll present an experiment conducted by a student in which the brainband was used to measure brain activity while participants viewed various movie clips. As the processing of the brain data is still work in process, only preliminary findings will be presented. |
