------------------------------------------------------------------------

Media sharing and social networking websites have attracted many millions 
of users resulting in vast collections of user generated content. The 
contents are typically poorly structured and spread over several 
platforms, each supporting specific media types. With the increasing 
growth and diversity of these websites, new ways to access and manage the 
contents are required - both within and across web platforms.


TOPICS OF INTEREST

This workshop focuses on the interaction with these multimedia contents. 
We are particularly interested in contributions that follow Web 2.0 
principles of simplicity and/or social navigation in combination with the 
representation, annotation, and linking power of the Semantic Web. Topics 
of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Navigating and visualizing semantically annotated multimedia content
* Social semantic tagging of multimedia content
* Social semantic recommendation and search of multimedia content
* Semantic mashups of multimedia content across websites
* Semantic annotation of multimedia content in Wikis and Weblogs
* Interaction with multimedia content on the semantic desktop
* Semantic user interfaces for media sharing and social networking websites
* Experiences and use cases regarding the interaction with multimedia 
content on the Social Semantic Web


TARGET AUDIENCE

* Researchers of the Semantic Web and Knowledge Representation communities 
interested in interaction aspects
* Researchers of the Multimedia and Human-Computer-Interaction communities 
interested in semantic aspects
* Developers of web applications, interaction designers, and information 
architects
