Abstract
There are two important trends bringing changes and new opportunities
into media consumption: the emergence of user-created content and Semantic Web
technologies. In this paper we present an application that shows how these
technologies can be combined to create an enjoyable media consumption
experience. The application development work served also as a feasibility test
of the maturity of Semantic Web technologies for media sector applications.
The application contains material to the historical Ox road of Häme, and this
way it also supports enjoying cultural heritage. The results indicated that
users enjoyed using the application. Several ontologies were utilised, most of
which were based on existing ontologies or taxonomies. With their help, it
was possible to offer multiple views and exploratory routes into the available
content. Further development can, among other things, be made in improving
search strategies and in utilising user-created metadata for both for
enriching ontologies and as an indication of user interests.
