Releasing multimodal data as Linguistic Linked Open Data: An experience report

摘要

In this paper we describe an implemented framework for releasing multimodal corpora as Linked Data. In particular, we describe our experiences in releasing a multimodal corpus based on an online chat game as Linked Data. Building on an internal multimodal data model we call FiESTA, we have implemented a library that enhances existing libraries and classes by functionality allowing to convert the data to RDF. Our framework is implemented on the Rails web application framework. We argue that this work can be highly useful for further contributions to the Linked Data community, especially from the fields of spoken dialogue and multimodal communication.
