The SOLIM project (Spatial Ontology Language for multimedia Information Modelling) is nearing completion. This week the project partners will meet in Istanbul to discuss the project results and possible future projects.
During the project we have developed two proof of concept applications that show the advantages of using spatial ontology languages for Image Search and Machine Translation technologies.

The New York Times recently published an article about the automated news anaylsis tools that are currently being used on Wall Street. The article describes the current trend – and potential – of using semantic analysis tools for analysing news, such as the news information published in news reports, blogs and Twitter feeds.
The technologies described are very similar to SemLab’s ViewerPro technology for automatic semantic analysis of news.

Part of the SOLIM project’s research results have been submitted as a research paper entitled “The use of OWL for Spatial Knowledge based Applications” in the Semantic Web journal.
The paper was written by representatives of SemLab, Tilde, Picsearch and AGMLab. In this paper it is demonstrated that the use of OWL and spatial reasoning tools – despite shortcomings – enables effective storage of, and reasoning with spatial information by use of a hybrid solution. The utility of this solution will be illustrated by its application in two diverse domains; automatic processing of textual information and querying of graphical information, in machine translation and image searching applications.

The Solim project for spatial reasoning has entered the last phase, in which the technology developed will be implemented into two POC applications for evaluation. The two applications that will utilise the spatial reasoning technology are Picsearch’s Image Searching system and Tilde’s Machine Translation system.

The NORM project has now officially started. NORM, short for News Optimised Risk management, is a project commissioned by the European Union to research the effects of financial news on market risk predictions. In order to study this, the project will use SemLab’s ViewerPro system for automated semantic news analysis, together with state of the art risk modelling techniques.

ViewerPro was already connected to news sources such as Thomson Reuters, Dow Jones and various RSS feeds, and has now expanded by covering multiple European stock exchanges.
ViewerPro now incorporates the FTSE AllShare index (London), the AEX (Amsterdam), BEL20 (Brussels), DAX30 (Frankfurt) and the CAC40 (Paris), thereby automatically identifying news events for companies within the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France.
In the nearby future, we will expand further to for example south European stock exchanges.
