2nd Workshop on Collective Intelligence in Semantic Web 
and Social Networks (CISWSN 2008)


 IEEE/WIC/ACM Joint International Conference on Web Intelligence 
and Intelligent Agent Technology 2008, 
Sydney, Australia, 9-12 December 2008

Scope of the Workshop

Semantic web environment has been evolving. Its emerging environment is characterised by intensive collaboration, cooperation and knowledge processing activities with formation of complex social and economical networks in the background. Various knowledge processing techniques are being used to address data portability and Web information discovery problems. Collective intelligence is a key issue to collaboratively share knowledge and even generate new knowledge. Many Web 2.0 platforms (e.g., blogs and wikis) have been developed to exchange meaningful information and support user-centered tasks on a variety of domains (e.g., e-learning, e-commerce, and e-government). Local knowledge is annotated into a large repositories of content including not only simple documents but also multimedia data. For example, collaborative tagging (e.g., del.icio.us) can play an important role in knowledge (or information) sharing between people on social networks. Modelling the dynamics and evolution of such complex systems, involving knowledge processing with intelligent information agents acting on behalf of thousands of users, is a new and promising research area with many practical applications.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas of knowledge and intelligence, semantics, agents and grid computing to share their visions, research achievements and solutions, to resolve the challenge issues and to establish worldwide cooperative research and development. We also want to provide a platform for discussing research topics underlying the concepts of Social Semantics for Linked Data by contacting members of different communities that share the common interest on social semantic collaborative intelligence on the web for developing methods and tools: - Semantic Web researchers who use social semantic techniques for modeling collaboration and intelligence on the web. - Members of the Linked Open Data initiative who provide means for publishing and using linked open data on the web. - Members of the Intelligent Agent community who develop agents and algorithms for collaboration and intelligence on the web.

This will give an opportunity to push further the discussion upon the potential of social semantic collaborative intelligence across these communities.
