SILVER
Narrative Hypermedia
Semantic Interactive Learning Visualisation Environment Research
The aim of the SILVER project is to develop educational software based on knowledge visualisation technology that will allow learners and educators to collect, organise, experiment and interact with multimedia assets. With the software, learners and teachers will be able to select multimedia assets related to a theme, visualise conceptual relationships associated with those assets and assemble them in different ways reflecting alternative perspectives.
The SILVER project is supported by the Technology Strategy Board and is a collaboration with the Bridgeman Art Library and Lexara. Bridgeman Art Library is the world's leading source of fine art, history and culture with some 260,000 images available on-line, plus 750,000 historical photographs, from 8000 locations. LEXARA is a company that develops technology-enabled products to support organisations in the publishing, education, corporate and cultural heritage sectors. SILVER is developing applications aimed at supporting both school and work-based learning.

Multimedia and Information Systems is...
We focus on content-based information retrieval over a wide range of data spanning form unstructured text and unlabelled images over spoken documents and music to videos. This encompasses the modelling of human perception of relevance and similarity, the learning from user actions and the up-to-date presentation of information. Currently we are building a research version of an integrated multimedia information retrieval system MIR to be used as a research prototype. We aim for a system that understands the user's information need and successfully links it to the appropriate information sources, be it a report or a TV news clip. This work is guided by the vision that an automated knowledge extraction system ultimately empowers people making efficient use of information sources without the burden of filing data into specialised databases.
