The goal of the DL-related research at the Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica is to generate multimedia presentations based on the results of a user query to a system. Four aspects are currently being studied: (a) modelling of discourse to steer the presentation generation process – both domain-independent methods and methods which make use of domain knowledge are being investigated; (b) dependencies of the user and domain models in the generation process; (c) characteristics of media types for presenting information to the user; (d) the extent to which graphic design knowledge can be included in the generation process, where colour is the aspect currently under investigation. In addition, the contribution of existing and developing Web and Semantic Tools to this research are also investigated. In particular the use of ontologies for expressing aspects of the other research topics and as output media of the results. |
