Things to use

NoTube has produced a number of Web based demonstrators of project results

N-Screen is a demo of the social TV and second screen work of NoTube. Different people using N-Screen on different second screen devices can share TV content with one another on their main screen. By connecting to their Beancounter account (below) they get personalised recommendations of available TV content.
Beancounter is your user profile manager, where you control all of your data! Plug in your social Web accounts and let it generate your interests profile dynamically. Use your Beancounter profile with TV applications like N-Screen (above) to get personalised recommendations whenever you want.
NoTube provides and makes use of a number of Web-based services to support its work on enabling the convergence of TV and the Web. These services can be more easily accessed and used in development through the NoTube portal.

Recommendation

  • the Linked Data Pattern-based Recommender: uses Linked Data as background knowledge to recommend programs. The Beancounter provides the user profiles (derived from the Social Web accounts of a user). Background knowledge in DBpedia, Freebaseand LinkedMDB are used to find potentially interesting commonalities between items and user interests. Two example of Pattern-based recommendations (generated real-time) are this and that.
  • SKOS News recommender: leveraging Beancounter user profile (defined in terms of weighted interests) and DBpedia SKOS concepts (http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos), it looks for matchings between user interests and news item concepts to find some interesting news for the user. Example here
