--------------------
Semantic data is available widely and semantic data exploration is
becoming a key activity in a range of application domains, such as
government organisations, education, life science, cultural heritage,
and media. Several novel interfaces and interaction means for
exploration of semantic data are being proposed, for example exploratory
search systems, semantic data browsers, ontology/content visualisation
environments and semantic wikis. 


Although on the rise, the current solutions are still maturing and need
to take into account human factors to make exploration intuitive or
employ necessary computational models to aid the intuitiveness and
improve the effectiveness of exploration tasks. Lessons also can be
learned from the commonalities and differences in exploration
requirements between different domains. Hence, greater benefits can be
achieved by bringing together expertise from different communities,
including HCI, Semantic Web, and personalisation with the potential
application domain demands. This group is an effort to bring these
community together to benefit from the mutual experiences in solving
some new and exciting problems. 


This group will not publish specifications.
