ABSTRACT
We present a large dataset composed of events descriptions together with media descriptions associated with these events and interlinked with the larger Linked Open Data cloud. We are constructing a web-based environment that allows users to explore and select events, to inspect associated media, and to discover meaningful, surprising or entertaining connections between events, media and people participating in events. The dataset is obtained from three large public event directories (last.fm, eventful and upcoming) represented with the LODE ontology and from large media directories (flickr, youtube) represented with the Media Ontology. We describe how the data has been converted, interlinked and published following the best practices of the Semantic Web community.

Finding media illustrating events
ICMR '11: Proceedings of the 1st ACM International Conference on Multimedia RetrievalWe present a method combining semantic inferencing and visual analysis for finding automatically media (photos and videos) illustrating events. We report on experiments validating our heuristic for mining media sharing platforms and large event ...
F--a model of events based on the foundational ontology dolce+DnS ultralight
K-CAP '09: Proceedings of the fifth international conference on Knowledge captureThe lack of a formal model of events hinders interoperability in distributed event-based systems. In this paper, we present a formal model of events, called Event-Model-F. The model is based on the foundational ontology DOLCE+DnS Ultralight (DUL) and ...
Using social media to identify events
WSM '11: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGMM international workshop on Social mediaWe present a method to automatically detect and identify events from social media sharing web sites. Our approach is based on the observation that many photos and videos are taken and shared when events occur. We select 9 venues across the globe that ...
