Session details: SWCS'12 workshop 9

ABSTRACTWe are glad to present the technical program for SWCS2012 workshop associated with WWW2012. SWCS2012 highlights contributions on Semantic Web Collaborative Spaces. Semantic Web Collaborative Spaces such as semantic wikis, semantic social networks, semantic forums, etc. are social semantic software with the mission to bring together human agents and software agents in order to foster knowledge-intensive collaboration, content creation and management, annotated multimedia collection management, social knowledge diffusion and formalizing, and more generally speaking ontology-oriented content management lifecycle. SWCS topics includes representing and reasoning on semantics in social web platforms, interacting with and within SWCS, return of experience and applications, integration, interoperability and reuse of SWCS. The workshop papers included in this volume present different issues and visions related to man-machine collaboration in semantic web collaborative spaces. How software agents can explain to regular users what they do? How to help users to produce content understandable by software agents? How to manage the evolution of ontologies and reach agreements between human and software agents? How to manage synchronizations between human readable content and knowledge?
