During the EuropeanaTech conference in Vienna (3-5 October, 2011), the team of Diego Ceccarelli (ISTI-CNR) and Hugo Huurdeman (Timeless Future) has won the 2nd prize in the “Hackathon” contest. The aim of the Hackathon is the creative reuse of Europeana‘s content.
The team has developed a visual query suggestion tool, which allows users of Europeana to refine their search queries, by using log data of searches that have been done in the past. Using thumbnails, Europeana users can see other relevant searches, and why they are relevant. The application uses a combination of HTML5, semantic technologies, and (semantic) data from Europeana, DBPedia, and Freebase.
