Flower Hamaspyur - is a mythical flower. In middle age Armenia it was mentioned as a symbol of since, wisdom and eternal youth, and its fragrance as having healing and vitalizing characters. It has 12 petals/branches with different colors for different directions of science/life, and from each opens a new flower again with 12 petals/branches. In Armenian the word Hamaspyur has the same meaning as the word Diaspora - spread all around. Its petroglyphs are found in mountains. It is mentioned in the works of A. Shirkatsi, in Rigveda as Soma (Haoma), it is related to the "Flower of Life" sacred geometry pattern.

Flower Hamaspyur

Flower Hamaspyur is a new type of folksonomy system with multimodal interaction interfaces for multidimensional social media.

The flower frameworks collect and organize data using ontologies and taxonomies collaboratively created by the communities of different interest domains. Each community of users creates the taxonomy for its own domain and collaboratively integrates them creating the cross-domain taxonomy of Flower Hamaspyur.

The flower interfaces provide intuitive navigation for multidimensional structured data, mainly targeted towards mobile devices with limited screen area and with direct touch interaction.

The Internet now is an overflow of information coming from maltitudes of different social media channels. The standard keyword based searching has its limitations when it comes to searching of multimedia content from particular interest domain. The user-based collaborative tagging, annotating and rating of multimedia content provides entirely new solutions of how to solve this problem.

Design

Example of a flower interface: domains of community interests represented as multi-color nested clusters.

The flower folksonomy is a new type of folksonomy system to serve as a semantic core shared across different dimensions of OMPlanet Ecosystem. It provides networking of tags with social media, people, places, events and other dimensions of OMPlanet. Ideally, the ontology mappings of social media will be done using W3C proposed recommendations of Ontologies for Media Resources.

The flower interfaces have intuitive geometric structures representable in 2D and 3D graphics accessible from any modern web browser. Open standards of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) (to create two-dimensional interactive graphics) and Web-based Graphics Library (WebGL) (to generate interactive 3D objects) are used.

A prototype example is presented in Flower Hamaspyur.
