Collecting and Grouping of Distributed and Heterogeneous SNS Contents for Collaborative Storytelling

Abstract

In this paper we describe how to collect and group the contents of distributed and heterogeneous SNSs for storytelling. In particular, we have addressed two issues for storytelling, i.e. collecting and grouping. At first, when users input their queries, our proposed system collects proper contents from distributed and heterogeneous SNSs using content-based filtering, followed by its grouping, based on similarity between content text information and user query. Our implementation results show that a more informative and detailed online story can be made by using SNS contents from Facebook and Twitter. Moreover, these contents can be grouped automatically rather than manually.
