Jodi Forlizzi, an associate professor of design and human-computerinteraction at Carnegie Mellon University, confesses that she never wanted to become a designer, but the thought of creating products and services for elderly people that would give them an easier way of interacting made her do so. As a designer, she collected and coded data, drawing out perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and new product opportunities. She placed motion sensor cameras in people's kitchens, in their bathrooms, and in the aisles of grocery and convenience stores. The work of balancing a mix of expertise, background, gender, and cultural makeup on a team was exhausting. Now, she feels that human-centric designing is a profession that requires people to be highly visual, intuitive, unbiased, and open to experiencing people. In addition, it requires people to be able to take actions that support the needs of those whose lives they are trying to improve.

Rhizomer is a generic semantic metadata browser and editor. It is based on "classic" HTML paradigms (table, form, etc.) in order to provide an easy and accessible user experience. For end-users, it looks like the web pages they are used to deal with. However, the semantics that lay behind are used to improve the user experience through an AJAX-enhanced web interface. The user interface is fed by a metadata storage abstraction layer, which offers a SPARQL endpoint and implements the DESCRIBE SPARQL primitive in order to improve the usability of the resulting metadata fragments. The metadata component is combined with a wiki engine that helps managing the content intended for human consumption. Altogether, both components build a simple yet powerful platform for Semantic Web portals.
