This video presents tools to interact in new and engaging ways with audiovisual libraries.

VITALAS V1 video demonstration

Note that this video is now quite old (2008) and that online demo should be accessible on VITALAS Website (the maintenance policy of VITALAS systems is under partners responsibility and thus demonstration may not be available though).

WebContent Video

This video shows and explains the first WebContent (webcontent.fr) platform demonstration. It implements a classical named entities extraction but the main point is that it is done through the connection of 6 PCs running various services that form the basic blocks of a watch application and implemented by various partners with different technologies.

Books

"Shared Earth Modeling" by Michel Perrin and Jean-François Rainaud

"Shared Earth Modeling" is a book resulting from a collaborative work carried out by the eWok Hub project team. The term "Shared Earth Modeling" expresses the idea that earth models should be built to allow experts and end users access, at any time, to all of the information incorporated into the model. This information consists not only of the data, but also of the knowledge that geoscientists produce by interpreting the data. Accordingly, practical solutions must be studied to enable a knowledge-driven approach of "Shared Earth Modeling" using ontologies and Semantic Web technologies.

This study of earth subsurface modeling is of interest to several categories of readers. It primarily concerns geologists involved in the study and evaluation of subsurface reservoirs and hydrocarbon exploration. However, profiting from recent progress in various fields of computer science, the authors present innovative solutions to the critical problem of knowledge exchange at key steps of the modeling process. That is why this book will also be of interest to engineers and researchers in computer science and, more generally, to engineers, researchers and students who wish to apply advanced knowledge-based techniques to complex engineering problems. In this context, WebLab is presented in chapter 14 and it is shown how its architecture can resolve issues surrounding information processing and knowledge exchange.
