It looks like our local Knoesis center is making news again! From semanticweb.com : "Semantic social web application Twitris, a project of Kno.e.sis at Wright State University, recently added to its social media analysis event lineup coverage of Occupy Wall Street, and Election 2012 is set to debut in the next couple of weeks. These join earlier efforts such as the India Against Corruption Twitris site, and across all of them users can explore the popular topics about the event in the Twittersphere for that day; see related information by clicking on a tag; browse topics by location and see how they trend across different segments of society; search and explore questions related to a topic; view sentiments associated with a particular entity in the topic set; and more."

Amit Sheth, Ph.D., leads a collaborative team of Wright State and Ohio State University researchers who are developing new ways to extract meaningful information from hundreds of thousands of Twitter and other messages as they are posted during emergencies. (from article, linked below).
