Le GML : Voici un nouveau langage XML assez génial car il permet de dématérialiser les graffitis (les tags quoi !). Le fonctionnement est assez simple. En analysant les mouvements réalisés lors du graph, on peut générer un fichier GML qui est une sorte de copie numérique de l’oeuvre d’art. Le GML ou le Graffiti Markup Language a été inventé par Jamie Wilkinson, Evan Roth, Theodore Watson et Chris Sugrue. Ils ont su rendre cette norme « ouverte » au point que des applications concrêtes commencent à voir le jour autour de ce langage. Par exemple l’analyseur de graffitis, l’appli iPhone de graff baptisée le FatTag, le EyeWriter pour dessiner des graff avec son oeil et le plus hallucinant, le Laser Tag qui permet de tagger en réalité augmentée sur un peu tout ce que vous voulez (la Tour Effeil, Tata Simone ou le chien des voisins.) Voici une petite vidéo « compil » de toutes ces inventions :

Ubiquity is an experiment into connecting the Web with language in an attempt to find new user interfaces that make it possible for everyone to do common Web tasks more quickly and easily. It's a Firefox extension, so it works on Macs, Windows, and Linux. With only a couple keystrokes, it lets you use language to instruct your browser. You can translate to and from most languages, add maps to your email, edit any page, twitter, check your calendar, search, email your friends, and much more. All without leaving the page you're on.

Interestingness is a media (images, videos, etc) ranking algorithm to provide as an additional metric for search results. The algorithm is based upon an algorithm created by the Flickr team, and is further enhanced by metadata knowledge resulted from the Del.icio.us development. The algorithm was first unveiled publicly on Flickr on 2005-08-01.1 SML.SML: Interestingness = f(views, faves, comments, tags, time, user, network relationships); The ranking is based on one or more of the following factors: * the quantity of user-entered metadata2 (i.e. tags) * the number of users who have assigned metadata3 * the number of favorites assigned to the photo4 * relationship between the person who uploaded the photo and the people who are commenting5 * access patterns related to the media object6 (i.e. where the clickthroughs are coming from; who comments on it and when)7 * a lapse of time related to the media object8 (i.e. velocity of metadata acquisition)
