Twitris: A System for Collective Social Intelligence

Citizen Sensing Humans or citizens on the ubiquitous Web, acting as sensors and sharing their observations and views using mobile devices, mobile apps, and Web 2.0 services CitizenSensor Network An interconnected network of people who actively observe, report, collect, coordinate, analyze, disseminate, and act upon information via text, links to other resources, and various media including audio, images, and videos PeopleContentNetwork Analysis (PCNA) Social media analytics takes into account social media users (People), data shared on social media websites (Content), and the network of social media users (Network) Semantic Web Semantic Web is a group of methods and technologies to help machines and humans understand the meaning – or “semantics” – of data on the World Wide Web SentimentEmotionIntent (SEI) Extraction Analyzing social media content to extract insights about social media users’ sentiment (positive, negative, and neutral), emotion (happy, angry, upset, etc.), and the user’s intention (seeking information, sharing information, etc.) Social Media Analytics The practice of gathering data from social media websites and analyzing that data to gain new insights and facilitate informed decisions and actions
