> OBJECTIVES:
>
> "A key innovation opportunity in the Semantic Web is making it easier for
> end users to produce, share, and consume structured data [...] We have to
> study end users to understand their needs, build tools to meet those needs,
> and assess how those tools work for them."

> To advance and consolidate the development of Semantic Web (SW)
> technologies and applications, a strong interdisciplinary approach is
> required. Amongst others, SW technologies imply new challenges for user
> interaction - and especially end user interaction - beyond those already
> posed by Web technologies and interactive systems in general. Some of the
> challenges to Semantic Web Interfaces are:
>
> * SW technologies provide a new set of innovative functionalities, which
> require equally innovative interfaces to be enjoyed
> * Interfaces are required for datasets of which the schemas are not yet
> fully known at design time
> * UIs for datasets where there is as much information in the links between
> the resources as in the resources themselves
> * Interfaces need to be able to deal with different levels of granularity
> of data and information.
> * UIs for information that is automatically derived from potentially
> incomplete and imperfect data
> * Control over data/information delivery, due to size and complexity of
> data sources
>
> The HSWI workshop aims to explore and evaluate good practices in interface
> design, and ultimately feed into possible recommendations for standardizing
> and consolidating knowledge and good practices into a set of guidelines for
> semantic web developers, to ensure the usability and reasonably functional
> user experiences of the next generation of Semantic Web applications.

> TOPICS OF INTEREST:

> The workshop invites papers on approaches, methods, evaluations, case
> studies, and lessons learned on topics such as:
>
> * Visualization in semantic interfaces
> * Natural language interfaces to the Semantic Web
> * Semantic Web applications and tools addressing the needs of end users,
> both for creating and consuming Semantic Web data
> * New interaction techniques for the semantic web (e.g., gesture- and
> touch-based interaction with the Semantic Web, mind-web interfaces, etc.)
> * Models for specifying structure and behavior of Semantic Web interfaces
> * Sensemaking
> * Semantic search interfaces
> * Semantic applications on mobile devices, taking into account on-board
> sensors
> * Using Semantic Web technologies in user interfaces of existing systems
> * User studies and evaluations of Semantic Web interfaces and applications
