Goal and Motivations
Semantic Web Collaborative Spaces such as semantic wikis, semantic social networks, semantic forums, etc. are social semantic software with the
mission to bring together human agents and software agents in order to foster knowledge-intensive collaboration, content creation and management, annotated multimedia collection management, social knowledge diffusion and formalizing, and more generally speaking
ontology-oriented content management life-cycle.
The domain spans from multidisciplinary research to deployed commercial web applications and contributions from all this spectrum are encouraged.
The aim of the SWCS 2013 workshop is to exchange ideas, to discuss pressing research questions arising from theoretical studies and practical usage of semantic web collaborative spaces.
Topics
Contributions to this workshop will address one or more of the following topics:
● Representing
and reasoning on semantics in social web platforms:
○ Reconciling
formal semantics and social semantics
○ Semantic
social network analysis, community detection and community building
○ Analyses
of semantic wiki contributors and their contributions
○ Combining,
transforming, translating formal and informal knowledge
○ Coping
with disagreement, inconsistencies
○ Semantics
in social/human computing, and vice versa
○ Change
management, truth maintenance, versioning, and undoing semantic changes
○ Connecting
knowledge and social interaction rom asynchronous interactions to real-time/multi-synchronous interactions in SWCS
○ Optimizing,
distributing, scaling SWCS
○ Managing
and exploiting the emergence of models and their semantics
● Interacting
with and within SWCS:
○ Browsing,
navigating, visualizing
○ Editing
linked open data, schemas, rules, etc.
○ Ergonomics
of SWCS, interaction design and usability studies
○ Object-centered
sociality, knowledge-centered sociality
○ Overcoming
entrance barriers and giving incentives for contributing
○ Provenance,
traceability, permissions, trust, licensing, access control, privacy,
○ Making
formal knowledge accessible, social knowledge evaluation
○ Mobile
and multimodal accesses to SWCS
● Return
on experience and applications of semantic web collaborative spaces:
○ Swcs
platforms in e-science, e-learning, e-health, e-governement,
○ Enterprise
workflows, document flows, business intelligence, technological watch
○ Corporate
knowledge management or personal information management
○ Expert
matching, team creation,
● Integration,
interoperability and reuse of web collaborative spaces:
○ Integrations
and interoperability with other semantic applications and mashups
○ Interlinking,
distributing, federating SWCS
○ Extending
non-semantic social web platforms with semantics
○ Exporting
and reusing semantics gained from SWCS
