 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

The goal of SYNC3 is to create a framework for structuring, rendering more accessible and enabling collaborative creation of the extensive user-provided content that is located in personal blogs and refers to running news issues. The main obstacle for blogosphere content exploitation has been the difficulty to structure the disparate and vast information found in blog posts. On the other hand, news articles have a multitude of favorable characteristics that make their analysis easier. Some of these features are the synchronization of publication of the same story, the finite repertory of information in the "current news" domain, the use of the same lingo, indicative headings, etc. Since news articles and comments posted on blog posts that refer to news articles share the same thematology, SYNC3 follows the logical but unexplored path of deriving the thematology from the news articles and then applying it to the blogosphere domain. The thematology is formulated in the form of news events. The news event is the fundamental atom that constitutes the everyday news, and is defined as any coherent textual form which statistically exhibits consistency in the bulk of news articles. News events are determined by an innovative algorithm combining statistical and language processing. The pioneering concept of SYNC3 is that while the underlying semantics of news events is not studied, the news event is the most appropriate thematology atom for the task of associating user commentaries on news articles. Having partitioned the "current news" space in clearly defined atoms (i.e. news events), SYNC3 has a actually obtained a clear basis for reasoning on the domain. This becomes apparent considering the features that are now accesible. By processing in combination news articles and associated news events, SYNC3 can derive relations (temporal, causal, geographical) between news events.
