Abstract

This paper describes a blog system which analyzes its users by extracting information from blog posts and visualizes the analyzed results. In this system, the events appeared in the blog posts are regarded as the information on bloggers and are stored in the event ontology. When a user submits queries about people, the information on bloggers is extracted from the ontology. It is used to find the paragons of the blogger communities, and then the user is compared with the paragons. The system presents the comparison results with four visualization components. A geographical visualization component shows both the volumes of the communities and the distances between the compared user and the paragons. An ego-central network presents actual connections between the user and the community members. A detail information chart enumerates the properties used in the comparisons in detail. Finally, a trend chart illustrates their change in time.
