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 interactive multimodal interfaces for multidimensional social media.

Flower Hamaspyur serves 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. Data is collected and voted collaboratively by the communities of different interest domains. Each community of users creates the taxonomy for its interest domain and collaboratively integrates them creating the cross-domain taxonomy of Flower Hamaspyur.

Design

The Conversation Prism by Brain Solis and JESS3. Example of a flower interface to represent differnt domains of social media.

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 intuitive geometric structures are representable in 2D and 3D graphics accessible from any modern web browser or mobile 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. And the ontology mappings of social media, ideally, will be done using W3C proposed recommendations of Ontologies for Media Resources.

A prototype example is presented in Flower Hamaspyur.
