The Information Workbench. Interacting with the Web of Data
3rd Future Internet Symposium (FIS2010), (September 2010)
Abstract
We present the Information Workbench, an application for interacting
with the Web of data. The Information Workbench man- ages large amounts
of structured and unstructured information, which may be imported
and integrated from existing sources, but also allows end users to
annotate, complete and update information in a collaborative way.
New paradigms for accessing information include hybrid search across
the structured and unstructured data, keyword search combined with
facetted search, as well as semantic query completion and interpretation,
which assists the user in expressing complex information needs by
an automated translation of keyword queries into hybrid queries.
A Living UI based on widgets for the interaction with the data enables
a homogeneous, seamless, continuous and personal experience.
