Web Observatory: A Platform for Monitoring, Synthesizing, and Visualizing Massive Events in Real-Time
Abstract
This work presents the Web Observatory, a portal designed for providing to end users a synthesis of the current topics and trends in the various types of Web-based media, including newspapers, magazines, portals, social networks, and other applications such as Twitter. This paper describes the conceptual model and the framework on which the Observatory was built and shows how it may be used for monitoring the 2010 Brazilian Presidential Elections on the Web. Preliminary results show how the information is delivered in the portal, showing indices such as visibility and polarity of political personalities.References
