Exploiting Linked Data to Create Rich Human Digital Memories

<21> A platform for creating and storing human digital memories is described. This allows extensive personal data collection using pervasive devices, including electrocardiography, GPS and photographic data. A new method of semantically linking data is presented, turning it into visual items of events. A new “QRS Complex” heart rate monitoring algorithm is also presented. The work has been implemented and a detailed evaluation conducted which validates memory retrieval and demonstrates how indoor data collection techniques avoid “memory black spots”. This work is important for understanding how digital memories –now often collected as a matter of course–can be understood and utilised.
