“…This issue has been tackled in the literature from many points of view. Some approaches concentrated on the television medium, defining new metaphors for organizing channels or for browsing them, or new concepts of Interactive Program Guides [20,36,24]. Other approaches faced the problem in a multi and crossmedia setting where contents are accessible not only from television but also from other media, such as the computer (e.g., via Web in the so-called Web television) or mobile telephones [e.g., Babelgum (http://www.babelgum.com), Joost (http://www.joost.com), Hulu (www.hulu.com)].…”

The design of approaches for supporting the user in the navigation of a variety of contents is an interesting area of research with many potential applications. In particular, interactive television (iTV) offers users the opportunity of accessing a huge amount of contents, ranging from general to specialized ones. As a consequence, the exploration of such contents must be supported in some way. In this paper, we present an innovative approach that integrates some recent methodologies and technologies developed in different areas of Artificial Intelligence and the Web: user-model-based adaptation, social networking, semantic annotation, and content sharing. We show how the integration of these technologies can provide interesting opportunities for a new approach to content navigation and discovery based on the possibility of exploring personalized networks of contents, users and concepts. Also, we focus on the specific goal of designing a platform for accessing iTV contents with the aim of providing the user with many alternative ways of exploring and discovering potentially interesting videos. After discussing the application, integrated in a project by Telecom Italia for a new paradigm of iTV, we preset the architecture we designed for integrating the methodologies discussed above.

“…Several projects aim at improving the user experience by exploiting such new opportunities. Some studies focus on the realization of alternative ways of interaction with the TV set, creating innovative interfaces to improve traditional EPGs [8] and enhancing the user experience by adding some interactive features such as rating [5]. Other works have introduced personalization and recommendation into TV experience [1].…”

The paper presents an approach to merge Web 2.0 and adaptation with TV contents in order to enrich the user experience. We present iDYNamicTV, a social Web-based recommender system dealing with multimedia contents. iDYNamicTV is part of a larger project by Telecom Italia (DynamicTV) for enhancing user experience in TV fruition. The goal of iDynamicTV is to provide facilities to entertain when exploring and discovering media contents on the Web using a computer interface.
