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 formalising, 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 2012 workshop is to exchange ideas, to discuss pressing research questions arising from theoretical studies and practical usage of semantic web collaborative spaces.

Growing the Semantic Web with Inverse Semantic Search

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

I recently read an interesting paper that was presented at the INSEMTIVE workshop (incentives for the semantic web). Hans-Jörg Happel addresses the problem that a lot of metadata (tags, annotations, etc.) exist in private knowledge spaces but are not shared on the semantic web – maybe because of privacy concerns, maybe because nobody has ever asked for them, whatever. His new idea is to design a search engine that knows which private metadata could improve the result set – and then asks their authors to publish them: i.e. the opposite of the “publish first, retrieve then” process of traditional IR.
