Important dates --------------- * Submission deadline: Aug 27, 2010 * Notification of acceptance:  Sep 17, 2010 * Camera-ready paper submission  Oct 19, 2010 * Camera-ready proceedings: Oct 15, 2010 * Workshop: Nov 08, 2010 Description ----------- It is now widely agreed that the Semantic Web and the Social Web can benefit from each other. On the one hand, the speed at which data is being created on the Social Web is growing at exponential rate, as it offers users a variety of applications for rapidly publishing and disseminating information to a community of interest: blogs, wikis, microblogging, status notification, etc. On the other hand, the Semantic Web plays a crucial role in the management of all this networked knowledge, providing new ways to share and co-operate on the Web using formal semantics. However, while both can be efficiently combined to take into account the social aspect and the semantics of this data, there are still a variety of important issues and research questions that must be considered regarding data that arises from social interactions, such as scalability, reasoning, privacy, context-awarness, security, etc. Following the success of SDoW2008 and SDoW2009, this workshop aims to discuss techniques, methods and applications that are appearing and that are required to manage the data from the Social Web using semantic technologies, taking into account social relations, information overload, aggregations and summaries, trust and privacy, and other related research topics. Topics of interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Applications and tools using Social Semantic Web technologies * Creating RDF-based knowledge using social media services * Data Portability and Social Network Portability * Emerging semantic platforms for the Social Web * Enriching Social Web with semantic data - RDFa, microformats and  other approaches * Linked Data on the Social Web - providing linked data from social  media sites * Mining and analysis of Social Data * Ontologies for the Social Web - developing, using and extending  lightweight ontologies/vocabularies for social media sites * Querying and mining social semantic data * Policies, authentication, security, and trust within collaborative  scenarios * Producing Semantic Web data from social software applications * Reasoning for Social Web applications * Semantic blogging, wikis and social networks * Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities (SIOC) * Social and semantic bookmarking, tagging and annotation * Using Semantic Web technologies for Social Data integration Submissions ----------- The following types of contributions are welcomed: * Full technical papers, up to 12 pages. * Short technical papers and position papers, up to 6 pages. * Posters and Demos, 2-3 pages with a description of the  application, ideally accompanied with a link to an online demo.
