Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a Web system "GoolShare" for co-authoring and sharing linked open data (LOD) of social issues and their resolution as public goals. Twice trial uses of GoalShare in civic hackathons are conducted. We analyzed the differences in the characteristics of constructed LOD at each hackathon. The results are published at IFIP ePart 2014, ePart 2015, ePart 2016, Applied Intelligence (international journal published by Springer), Transactions of JSAI, etc. In addition, another paper on automatic assignment of social problem tags and a successor system of GoroShare is accepted by ECOSE 2017. In collaboration with a JST CREST research project (representative: Takayuki ITO), we conducted research on automatic question generation asked by discussion facilitators.
