	abstract = {This paper describes the national funded project entitled PaloAnalytics, which develops an innovative platform that allows companies and organizations, that operate in several countries, to monitor and analyze, in depth, the markets{\textquoteright} interest to their products and successfully plan their marketing and communication strategy, with data and insights collected from all the local media, and focuses on its application to cultural spaces and museums. In this notion, we examine the effect that this project can have in cultural spaces or companies related to arts and culture. PaloAnalytics platform allows organizations to investigate the impact of their products on consumers across different countries and this is achieved with the analysis of content from sites, blogs, social networks and open data. This implies that cultural organization can benefit by adopting the implemented services, so that the can recognize and analyze their audience, their online marketing campaigns as well as examine the impact of their messages and the spread of their messages on the Internet. In this paper, we briefly describe the project and discuss on the impact on cultural related organizations.},

	abstract = {Nowadays, more and more cultural venues tend to utilize social media as a main tool for marketing, spreading their messages, engaging public and raising public awareness towards culture. It comes to a point where the massive of content in social media makes it a tedious procedure to contact the appropriate audience, the people that would really be stimulated by cultural information. In this notion, we assume that establishing conversations of high impact can possibly guide the cultural venues to audiences that can benefit more. These conversations usually include the so called influencers, users whose opinion can affect many people on social media; the latter usually referred to as followers. In this research paper we examine the characteristics of the influencers that can affect the procedures of a cultural venue on social media. The research is done within the scope of "CrossCult" EU funded project.},

	abstract = {Social media usage is affecting peoples{\textquoteright} views through opinion sharing, a fact that has started to attract cultural institutions, as it is possible that this procedure can possibly be a part of a museum experience. As the main goal of a cultural institution is the maximization of senses stimulation, the device that is offered to the visitors{\textquoteright} hands everyday and every moment, becomes an important tool for the art spaces. In this notion we perform research on issues that can be of great importance for the museum{\textquoteright}s online presence and attraction. We focus on establishing the personality of influencers related to culture, as well as the characteristics of qualitative discussions on the social media. Crosscult Project is an EU funded project, that aims to spur a change in the way European citizens appraise History, and sets that basis of our research as the experiments are conducted within its scope of. Through the experimental procedure, we collect information in order to define the character of the influencer and the substances of a {\textquotedblleft}serious{\textquotedblright} conversation. {\textquotedblleft}Serious{\textquotedblright} conversations are regarded the ones in which a cultural organization can participate actively and benefit from the participation. We present the results of our experimental evaluation and analyze how cultural institutions can benefit from the outcomes of our research.},

	abstract = {Ontologies offer a flexible and expressive layer of abstraction, very useful for capturing the semantics of information repositories and facilitating their retrieval either by the user or by the system to support user tasks. This work presents an ontology-based user profiler, in the context of a Personal Interaction Management System (PIMS). The profiler, based on an ontology of the users? domain, enables them to create their personal ontology by initially choosing one of the available template ontologies as a starting point, which they subsequently populate and customize. The profiler employs a web interface which allows users to populate their personal ontology through forms, hiding ontology complexities and peculiarities. Forms are dynamically generated through ontology views, which are specified by ontology designers.},
