Project Description

Recent advances in collaborative Web technology are governed by network
effects and harnessing collective intelligence through customer-self
service and algorithmic data management. As a result, information
spreads
rapidly across Web sites, blogs, Wiki applications, and direct
communication channels between members of online communities who
utilize
these services. The IDIOM (Information Diffusion across Interactive
Online
Media) project will support and investigate electronic interactivity by
means of a generic, service-oriented architecture. This architecture
will
include ontology-based tools to build and maintain contextualized
information spaces, a framework for analyzing content diffusion and
interaction patterns within these spaces, and interface technology
enabling users to switch between semantic and geospatial topologies.
