blog Bringing quotations back to life

Jul 2022

There's a new section on this site that allows to navigate quotations: quotes.michelepasin.org. It's just a cut-down implementation of an old idea I worked on a while ago, but you know.. sometimes it is useful to start from scratch and re-think things from the ground up.

blog Navigating through the people of medieval Scotland... one step at a time

Sep 2012

Navigating through the people of medieval Scotland... one step at a time! This is, in a nutshell, what users can do via the Dynamic Connections Cloud application, a prototype tool I've been working on recently, in the context of the People of Medieval Scotland project (PoMS), which was launched last week at the University of Glasgow.

blog Python links (and more) 7/2/11

Feb 2011

This post contains a collection of various interesting things I've encountered over the last couple of weeks. They're organized into three categories: Python-related links, events and conferences, and new online tools. I hope you'll find something of interest!

blog Navigating the Eternal Egypt

Mar 2007

A really nice application to browse conceptually related egyptian artifacts, with many features: visual navigation, possibility of creating personal "libraries" of artifacts, typed entities. The Eternal Egypt. Even if the links to the semantic web could be many, I have not found anything mentioning a possible openness of the data....what a shame!

blog Pathway: Wiki Semantic Navigator

Nov 2006

Just found a very cool app that lets you organize and store the navigation on any mediawiki site, Pathway. It basically represents visually the link's structure of a wiki-page, all the departing nodes centered around the page of interest. The whole navigation can thus be stored in the form of a net with nodes and links! Developed in Cocoa, works easily and fast on any mac (intel based as well) running Tiger! I quote the author's reasons behind the development:

blog Navigating the Rijksmuseum

Oct 2006

The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is a very nice venue, and its paintings even better. You can have a detailed look at them, thanks to the beautiful website that also features an interesting navigation facility. Just click on "explore the collection ":

blog A Random Walk through the 20th Century

Jul 2006

I wanted to post something about this for a long time, but never got down to it. A random walk through the 20th century is an older narrative/hypermedia system (it dates back to 1996) realized by a bunch of people in MIT around the influence/direction of Glorianna Davenport.

blog Review: Automatist storyteller systems and the shifting sands of story, by G. Davenport and M. Murtaugh

Jun 2006

A few notes after reading a seminal paper (1997) by MIT researcher Glorianna Davenport on 'storyteller systems'. These systems can be seen as the precursors of current systems that support semantic exploration through stories (the only difference is the technology being used). This is a very good article in terms of language, internal references (art, history) and precision - the ideas are presented clearly and succinctly, without indulging too much in the (often boring) details of the technical implementations...
