The output of the

user requirements

analysis (Deliverable

D1.1: User require-

ments and specica-

on of the use cas-

es) consists of inial

requirements con-

cerning the follow-

ing topics: search eld, search list, faceted search, visualisaons, document search and analysis, video

search and analysis, adapve training support, community, user management and accessibility. Fur-

thermore, the user requirements are complemented by the development and connuous tesng of the

plaorm mock-ups. The analysis was performed following a mixed methods approach for Use Case 1 on

training public administrators, as well as for Use Case 2 on training young researchers. The approach

included interviews with junior and senior professionals, brainstorming sessions, competors analysis

and analysis of internaonal standards for the extracon of user requirements. Moreover, it included

literature reviews, semi-structured interviews and a qualitave content analysis for the idencaon of

requirements. Almost 150 in total, the requirements are well structured and their implementaon has

already started. In the following year we will connue the implementaon on the plaorm and update

the requirements list according to collected feedback and analyses results from focus groups.

We have already entered the second year of our project. First development outcomes are now availa-

ble. The rst prototype of the MOVING plaorm, based on the rst set of user requirements, was

demonstrated during the rst review and and will soon become publicly available. The development of

other soware components for video analysis, scienc gures search and hypothesis tesng for web

interacon paerns has progressed, and a number of scienc publicaons detailing the results were

produced. Several scienc and industrial events have also been organised. Overall, in the rst year the

project progressed according to the plan, and all milestones dened were achieved. The MOVING con-

sorum is now in place to culminate its eorts and successfully deliver its main results during its second

year.

SciFis, a search

engine tool for

scienc

gures

SciFis tool

SciFis is a search engine tool for scienc gures based on extracted text. Scienc gures such as bar

charts, pie charts, maps, scaer plots, or similar infographics oen include valuable textual informaon,

which is not present in the surrounding text. The SciFis tool allows searching in such infographics in open

access publicaons (such as journals, working papers and conferences in business studies and econom-

ics) and thus oers new ways in accessing them. You can visit SciFis at hp://broca.informak.uni-

kiel.de:20080/.

Tools - Demos - Results

The WevQuery is a scalable system for

tesng hypotheses about web interac-

on paerns. Remotely stored user

interacon logs give access to a wealth

of data generated by large numbers of

users which can be used to understand

if interacve systems meet the expecta-

ons of designers. Unfortunately, de-

tailed insight into users’ interacon

behaviour sll requires a high degree of

experse. WevQuery allows designers

to test their hypotheses about users’

behaviour by using a graphical notaon

to dene the interacon paerns they are seeking. WevQuery is scalable as the queries can then be exe-

cuted against large user interacon datasets by employing the MapReduce paradigm. This way Wev-

Query provides designers eortless access to harvest users’ interacon paerns, removing the burden of

low-level interacon data analysis. You can nd more informaon regarding the system and download it

Communication and dissemination activities

The rst review of the project was successfully completed in May 2017. The meeng was held in Kiel and was hosted by ZBW

on the 31st of May 2017. Among the rst year deliverables, the demonstraons and the overall project progress that were

presented, the consorum successfully presented the inial prototype of the MOVING plaorm that will soon become avail-

able to the public.

The ACM SIGMM Rising Stars Symposium honours selected SIGMM members’ research and con-

tribuon to the community. Among six selected rising SIGMM members, Dr. Ansgar Scherp from

ZBW presented his research work, including the MOVING project, in his presentaon entled

“About mulmedia presentaon generaon and mulmedia metadata: From synthesis to analy-

sis and back?”. The SIGMM Rising Stars Symposium took place in October during the 24th ACM Mulmedia Conference in

Amsterdam, Netherlands. For more details please visit: hp://www.acmmm.org/2016/?page_id=706

“Learning How to Search” widget

The "Learning How to Search” widget is now part of the MOVING plaorm. The widget helps the user

to get familiar with the plaorm and all its features. The latest version of MOVING integrates the rst

prototype of the widget in its user interface. It gives a graphical feedback about the user's feature

usage and provides guidance to explore more about the plaorm, for example features the user has

not tried so far.

The EU H2020 projects ALIGNED

projects. The consorum partner

Wolters Kluwer Germany of

ALIGNED brings in its strong ex-

an increasingly complex infor-
