Report

  • Maartje: Use tracking beacons with low-energy bluetooth to track where people are actually going? Issue is that we need own application and need bluetooth all the time.
  • Ahmad: First local tweet Viz at http://cromsom.nl:8080/ - nice!
  • ADS Presentation: Related project "Buurt in zicht" Put slides into repo
  • Save tweets to persistent disk, make sure all of JSON is there (either flat files, or document store)

Ongoing

Report

  • Maartje: Literature research done for now, found various related papers (to go into git repo)
  • Amsterdam Institute of Metropolitan Solutions is a possible cooperation partner
  • Ahmad: Twitter data available at cromsom.nl:/home/ahmad/logs

Discussion

  • Tourist detection algorithm 1.0: Check location, if set, use. Then check location of previous tweets, if majority is outside NL, tourist. Finally, look at language of previous tweets if not english or dutch.

Next Steps

Example use of dbpedia spotlight from cromsom.nl shell:

curl http://localhost:2222/rest/annotate \
  --data-urlencode "text=President Obama called Wednesday on Congress to extend a tax break
  for students included in last year's economic stimulus package, arguing
  that the policy provides more generous assistance." \
  --data "confidence=0.35" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

curl -L http://dbpedia.org/resource/Economic_Stimulus_Act_of_2008 -H "Accept: application/json"
