2nd CFP: 1st Social Data on the Web workshop (SDoW2008) ----------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS: SDoW2008 ----------------------------------------------------------- 1st Social Data on the Web workshop (SDoW2008) http://sdow2008.semanticweb.org/ co-located with 7th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2008) http://iswc2008.semanticweb.org/ October 26-27, 2008 - Karlsruhe, Germany ----------------------------------------------------------- The 1st Social Data on the Web workshop (SDoW2008) co-located with the 7th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2008) aims to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners involved in semantically-enhancing social media websites, as well as academics researching more formal aspect of these interactions between the Semantic Web and Social Media. Important dates --------------- * Submission deadline: Jul 25, 2008 * Notification of acceptance: Sep 05, 2008 * Camera-ready paper submission: Sep 26, 2008 * Camera-ready proceedings: Oct 03, 2008 Description ---------------- Since its first steps in 2001, many research issues have been tackled by the Semantic Web community such as data formalism for knowledge representation, data querying and scalability, or reasoning and inferencing. More recently, Web 2.0 offered new perspectives regarding information sharing, annotation, and social networking on the Web. It opens new research areas for the Semantic Web which has an important role to play to lead to the emergence of a Social Semantic Web that should provide novel services to end-users, combining the best of both Semantic Web and Web 2.0 worlds. To achieve this goal, various tasks and features are needed from data modeling and lightweight ontologies, to knowledge and social networks portability as well as ways to interlink data between Social Media websites, leveraging proprietary data silos to a Giant Global Graph. This workshop is intended to bring together people and organisations interested in applying Semantic Web technologies to social media sites. Topics of interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Creating RDF-based knowledge using social media services * Data Portability and Social Network Portability * Emerging semantic platforms for the Social Web * Enriching Social Web with semantic data: RDFa, microformats and other approaches * Linked Data on the Social Web: providing linked data from social media sites * Ontologies for the Social Web: developing, using and extending lightweight ontologies for social media sites * Querying and mining social semantic data * Policies, authentication, security, and trust within collaborative scenarios * Producing Semantic Web data from social software applications * Reasoning for Social Web applications * Semantic blogging, wikis and social networks * Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities (SIOC) * Social and semantic bookmarking, tagging and annotation * Social Semantic Web: combining Web 2.0 and Semantic Web strategies and technologies Submissions ----------- The following types of contributions are welcomed: * Full technical papers, up to 12 pages. * Short technical papers and position papers, up to 6 pages. * Posters and Demos, 2 pages description of the application, ideally accompanied with a link to an online demo.
