Large numbers of websites contain (human-readable) infor-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mation about scheduled events, of which some may display media cap-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tured at these events. This information is, however, often incomplete and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

always locked into the sites. This prevents users from creating overviews

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of media associated with an event from multiple websites. We carried

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

out exploratory user studies with potential end-users to guide the design

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of a web-based environment for supporting event-based services. Based

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on our results, our goal is to provide support for exploring and selecting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

events and associated media, and for discovering meaningful, surprising

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or entertaining connections between events, media and participants by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

consuming linked data. We assembled a large collection of event and as-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sociated media descriptions, which we interlinked with the Linked Open

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Data cloud. The dataset is obtained from three large public event direc-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tories (last.fm, eventful, upcoming) represented with the LODE ontology

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and from large media directories (ickr, youtube) represented with the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Media Ontology.We present the results from the user studies, the conver-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sion, interlinking and publication of the data following the best practices

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of the Semantic Web community, and our initial application design.
