3rd Workshop on Semantic Personalized Information Management - Linking Social and Semantic Web
ACRONYM: SPIM 2012
URL: http://2012.spim-workshop.org
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
The Third Semantic Personalized Information Management (SPIM 2012) workshop aims at investigating new challenges and requirements for web based information systems that arise with the advent of the Social and Semantic Web. The scope ranges from new solutions how to manage the huge amount of information (user generated content, semantic web sources, etc.) in the back-end to new systems and algorithms to take advantage of the information to improve improve the quality of search results and thus better satisfy the users’ information need. Of special interest are practical approaches and ideas that aggregate social data from different applications or combine data from social platforms like Facebook with Semantic Web and Linked Open Data (http://linkeddata.org/) sources to enhance the performance of WIS. While there is already research done in the area, no standards or commonly agreed techniques are available. This workshop can prepare the ground for a standardized techniques allowing data and knowledge exchange between IR systems.
