Outline

• Why we need Semantics in CMS ?	

• How can Semantic Web Technologies help ?	

• How Redlink makes the integration much easier ?	

!

• Excursus: What about Semantic Media Asset
Management Systems

Semantic Content Management

03/36
"We are drowning in information and starved for knowledge."
John Naisbitt

• Content is highly available through the Internet	

• Information are distributed over people and systems	

• Data is available in various media and technical formats 
We need an efficient way for working with huge
amounts of unstructured content

Semantic Content Management

04/36
Content Management Systems

• CMS are a single point of entry, providing consistency and the
foundations for collaborative work with content	


• CMS provide functionalities to handle large amounts of content:	

•
•
•
•

Creation of new content	

Editing of existing content	

Organisation and management of content	

Presentation of content	


• Media-neutral data management (separation of layout and content) 

Semantic Content Management

Semantic Content Management

06/36
State of Play in Content Management

• Current solutions provide efficient ways to manage
content	


• Domain-specific requirements, like “multichannel content
distribution” are addressed	


• Content can be managed and presented in multi-media
formats 
… B UT …
Semantic Content Management

07/36
Problems in current Content Management Systems

• Content is only “understandable” by users and not by machines	

•
•

Irrelevant search results	

Aggregation of relevant content needs to be done manually	


!

• Inferring Knowledge from Content	

•

Dependencies, relations and inconsistencies among content items
need to be identified and defined manually	


!

• Content is strongly connected to presentation	

•

works only inside a certain environment

potential customer
for your products

How Semantic Web Technologies can help

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/Semantic_Web_Stack.png

Semantic Content Management

11/36
(Open) Linked Data

1. Use URIs as names for things	

2. Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names.	

3. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using
the standards (RDF*, SPARQL)	

4. Include links to other URIs. so that they can discover more things.

Semantic Lifting via Natural Language Processing

Semantic Content Management

13/36
How should we handle this?

Semantic Content Management

14/36
The Redlink Platform

Semantic Content Management

15/36
01/02
The Open Platform for Linked Data
http://marmotta.apache.org/

• Read-Write Linked Data	

• Triple store with transactions, versioning and reasoning	

• SPARQL and LDPath query languages	

• Transparent Linked Data Caching
Semantic Content Management

16/36
The Toolbox for Semantic Lifting
http://stanbol.apache.org

• Semantic Enhancement process chaining	

• Several Natural Language processing facilities	

• Multi-language support	

• Classification and Sentiment Analysis
Semantic Content Management

17/36
The highgly scalable Search Server
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/

• Based on Apache Lucene	

• Many language specific processing procedures	

• Highly scalable (Solr cloud) and ultra fast	

• Highly configurable

PART II

Media Asset Management
Bridging the Semantic Gap
Semantic Media Asset Management Systems

• Multimedia Content is enormously growing within the last
decade (Web 2.0)	


• Multimedia Content must be prepared for automatic processing	

• for multimedia retrieval	

• for reuse across platforms, contexts, locations, languages	

• Multimedia Content Management Systems heavily rely on high
quality metadata (meaning is hidden

Semantic Gap)

Semantic Web Technologies can bridge the gap
Semantic Content Management

21/36
01/02
Where we use Semantics

• Controlled Vocabularies	

• Domain specific Thesauri using standard representations	

• Reuse of external data	

• Create Knowledge by linking	

• (Semi-) Automatic Metadata enrichment and classification	

• Semantic Search (Facetting, Synonymes, Multilingual)
What do we need to bring
Media Objects in the Web of Data
Semantic Content Management

Media Fragments

„ … a media-format independent, standard means of addressing
media fragments on the Web using Uniform Resource Identifiers. “

provide a core set of descriptive properties.“
