Carlo Bernava, Giacomo Fiumara, Dario Maggiorini, Alessandro Provetti,, Laura Ripamonti

TL;DR
This paper presents a platform within Second Life that enables user annotation of objects and visualization of ontologies, integrating graphical knowledge with semantic RDF descriptions for enhanced virtual environment understanding.
Contribution
It introduces a novel application that combines graphical object annotation with RDF-based semantic descriptions inside Second Life, bridging visual and formal knowledge representations.
Findings
Supports user annotation of objects in Second Life
Visualizes concept ontologies graphically
Provides a formal, machine-readable description of objects
Abstract
We have designed and implemented an application running inside Second Life that supports user annotation of graphical objects and graphical visualization of concept ontologies, thus providing a formal, machine-accessible description of objects. As a result, we offer a platform that combines the graphical knowledge representation that is expected from a MUVE artifact with the semantic structure given by the Resource Framework Description (RDF) representation of information.
