Abstract:
DBpedia is one of the most interesting projects in the arena of the Semantic technologies. However, being able to extract useful information from it is not a trivial task for a user without a specific competence. We present the Spacetime, a two dimensions search engine that provides a simple visualization user interface for making it easy for a generic user to perform certain types of queries on the DBpedia body, and having results shown in a graphic and animated form. Spacetime has been equipped with various features, such as heat maps, time sliding animations, map aggregations, icon map customization and map saving and loading.
