Objective:

The social web, the most interesting part of the Web 2.0,=20
aims at bringing people together and facilitating richer=20
interaction among them. It is characterized by a strong=20
focus on communities where people share experiences,=20
information and knowledge, meet and discuss, or do=20
business together.

Knowledge management systems focus on knowledge and=20
experience sharing. They enhance organization capabilities=20
by externalizing knowledge of its employees and combine=20
them in novel forms. Therefore, there is a common interest=20
in social structures as well as social computing in both=20
fields. The social web can be the common underlying platform=20
for novel and web-based knowledge management systems. It=20
breaks up rigid processes and enables much richer interaction=20
possibilities and creativity. In this workshop we will bring=20
together people from the areas of social web technologies,=20
semantic systems, and knowledge management. We would like=20
to study synergies between social computing, social web,=20
semantic systems, and knowledge management and provide a look=20
at the current state of the art in the area.



Programme:

To ensure a creative atmosphere during the workshop, the=20
presenters will be selected based on their submitted papers=20
and demonstrations. In order to obtain an intensive exchange=20
of ideas between the participants, enough time for discussion=20
will be ensured.=20

A programme will be published at the workshop web site upon=20
notification of the authors and receiving the camera ready=20
versions of the submissions.
