IMC-SSW 2008 - Proceedings Online
The IMC-SSW 2008 proceedings are now available via the CEUR Workshop Proceedings publication service. You can download either the complete proceeding as one single PDF document or select a specific paper from the proceedings page.

Motivation

Media sharing and social networking websites have attracted many millions of users resulting in vast collections of user generated content. The contents are typically poorly structured and spread over several platforms, each supporting specific media types. With the increasing growth and diversity of these websites, new ways to access and manage the contents are required – both within and across web platforms.

Topics of Interest

This workshop focuses on the interaction with these multimedia contents. We are particularly interested in contributions that follow Web 2.0 principles of simplicity and/or social navigation in combination with the representation, annotation, and linking power of the Semantic Web. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Navigating and visualizing semantically annotated multimedia content
• Social semantic tagging of multimedia content
• Social semantic recommendation and search of multimedia content
• Semantic mashups of multimedia content across websites
• Semantic annotation of multimedia content in Wikis and Weblogs
• Interaction with multimedia content on the semantic desktop
• Semantic user interfaces for media sharing and social networking websites
• Experiences and use cases regarding the interaction with multimedia content on the Social Semantic Web

Programm

The workshop programm is also available as an iCal Calendar.
