Documentation

 
IKS will publish milestone achievements (reports, specifications and software components) publicly, in accordance with the workplan, such as:
 
Benchmarking industrial semantic software capabilities

  • Report on the design of semantic benchmarking experiment (August 2009 - PDF 1.5 MB, High res version PDF 7.5 MB) -  defines metrics and an experiment for CMS to test their semantic abilities together based on business and software engineering requirements. 

Requirements capture through use cases

  • Report on requirements of horizontal functionalities (December2009) -  will describe requirements for domain independent features of semantic based content management systems.

Research into requirements of the Interactive Knowledge Stack

  • Report on the model of knowledge based interactions (March 2010) -  will investigate conceptual models of interaction-patterns as wel as existing and requirements for future libraries of concrete interaction-patterns.
  • Report on ontological requirements for industrial CMS applications (June 2010) - we will research into the requirements of making foundational ontologies and ontological design patterns usable for content management systems.

Design and Implementation of the use cases

  • Software prototype for intelligent project controlling (December 2010) - will demonstrate how semantic content management technologies will help in a knowledge-rich and complex environment.
  • Software prototype for an Ambient Intelligence use case (June 2011) - will demonstrate embedded interactive knowledge management in our "bathroom" environment.

Design and Implementation of the Interactive Knowledge Stack

  • A series of specifications and software components forming the Interactive Knowledge Stack (December 2011 'Final Release') - will hold the main specifications and software components for 'presentation and interaction', 'ontology and business logic', semantic lifting of unstructured content' as well as 'reasoning and data persistence'. (Note: Intermediate versions will be available from June 2010 onwards for discussing with the relevant developer communities)

 Validation of the Stack

  • A series of reports on validation of different versions of the stack (December 2011 - December 2012) - will contain validation results from external early adopters, which use the stack components to build CMS; assessments of the semantic capabilities of the stack itself up  to a study of end user perception of interactive-stack driven systems.

Methodology

  • Book on semantic technologies in CMS (December 2010) - is intended to be a survey of semantic capabilities of current content management frameworks.
  • Training and teaching materials for academic and industrial use (December 2011) - a set of prototypical curriculum and teaching materials for engineering issues at academically level and for industrial environments.
  • Handbook on developing CMS applications (December 2012) - is the final official book on how to develop semantic CMS and how to make CMS frameworks semantically powerful.

Community Activation

  • Several reports on the communication of the IKS project (ongoing-yearly) - we will report all activities of the IKS project regarding networking with open source developers and early adopters from CMS suppliers as well as our contributions to standards bodies: workshops, programming camps, specifications.

Industrial Application building and Demo

  • Several showcase demos of interactive knowledge driven applications (June 2012) - will demonstrate a variety of use cases for interactive knowledge - from intelligent project controlling, various 'external' applications and IKS support demos for best practices in horizontal and vertical application building.
