The goal of the NEWS project is to extend the reach and delivery capabilities
of online content provision and syndication services by developing a semantic-based
news intelligence system that supports advanced personalized news discovery,
analysis and presentation, and fosters interoperability across the news
content provision and fruition lifecycle.
News content provision and syndication services have started to adopt
basic information filtering tools, but go little beyond basic search and
categorization. In keeping with "Semantic-based Knowledge Systems"
strategic objective, NEWS addresses these shortcomings through a program
of research and developement aimed at:
- Using Semantic Web standards to define ontologies for the news content
industry;
- Implementing a content annotation component whikch automatically applies
Semantic Web standards for the news industry to newswires;
- Developing news content intelligence components with multilingual
and multimedia capabilities, which use automatic news content annotation
to support the semantic-based analysis, search, navigation, personalisation
and delivery of knowledge from newswires, and
- Integrating news content annotation and content intelligence components
as Web services into a standard interoperable platform that enables
end users and applications alike to find and utilise service components
dynamically.
