NoTube User Model slides
The document discusses developing layered user profiles for the NoTube project. It proposes a minimalist model where activity streams from different sources like YouTube, Amazon, and Last.fm can be overlaid. Profiles will link to entities like programs, people, and topics. Different levels of profile detail are suggested from simple lists to weighted views. Standards like linked data, RDFa and OpenSocial APIs will be used to represent profiles. User input is sought on the API and software platform.
