1st Workshop on Friend of a Friend,
Social Networking and the Semantic Web

1st Workshop on Friend of a Friend,
Social Networking and the Semantic Web 06/21/2004 01:50 PM

Call for papers, come for the party or just come and hang out.

You can't be a decent standard if you don't have a conference.

Topics

The FOAF (Friend of a Friend) project explores a unique combination of themes from social networking, search engines, knowledge representation and software development. FOAF was designed as a practical experiment that would highlight the technical, social and business challenges raised by the next generation of "Semantic" Web technology. Over the past few years, the FOAF developer community has been working on standards-based techniques for publishing and harvesting machine-readable descriptions of people, the links between them, and the things they create and do. The working assumption of the project is that such techniques will underpin the deployment of the next generation of Web technology, W3C's "Semantic Web". The FOAF project was created in the expectation that these machine-readable descriptions will grow, as the Semantic Web platform matures, to cover companies, organisations, documents, groups, products, file sharing and many other aspects of life, both online and off. The time has come to evaluate these assumptions in the context of the opportunities and challenges presented by the rise of FOAF and the Semantic Web.

Social networking is a recent topic gaining much interest and publicity. Social networking sites are community sites where users can maintain an online network of friends or associates for social or business purposes: whether looking for a job, reconnecting with old friends, moving to a new area, or dating. Most of these sites are based on a centralised architecture: all users' descriptions are stored in one big database. There is, however, growing user and business interest in portability between such sites, and for sophisticated "single sign-on" mechanisms that reduce the need for data re-entry, while allowing users to manifest different aspects of themselves in different contexts. FOAF-based import/export allows such sites to address user demand for control of "their" data; however, many deployment, privacy, authentication and engineering issues have not yet been fully explored. To what extent do mechanisms such as FOAF change the environment they attempt to describe? How can the visibility of personal data be restricted to certain audiences? How can businesses make money when their customers can migrate to new services with increased ease?

This workshop on FOAF, social networking and the Semantic Web provides a first chance to discuss the unusual combination of perspectives - academic and scientific, engineering, social, legal and business - drawn together by these trends. The workshop aims to bring together for the first time researchers interested in the effects, analysis and application of social networks on the (Semantic) Web as well as practitioners building applications and infrastructure. The workshop will also try to give a snapshot of current developments, as well as setting a roadmap for the future of both FOAF and social networking - especially in the context of the Semantic Web.

Topics of interest for full papers include, but are not limited to the following:

* Social network metadata standards
* Trust issues in social networks
* Profiles of FOAF, subsets, mapping to other vocabularies and formats
* Federated digital identity, single sign-on (decentralized identity management)
* Business models for the Semantic Web (life after banner advertisements)
* Integration with desktop and mobile applications (chat, IM, P2P, Bluetooth, address books, RSS/Atom)
* Privacy, etiquette and best practice issues for aggregators
* Infrastructure for social networking
* Applications of online social networking
* Knowledge management with social networks
* Mathematical analysis of social networks
* Exchange of social network information
* Applications of online social networks
* Shared annotations
* Use of digital signatures and encryption with RDF/XML
* RDF-based search engines, data harvesting and syndication
* GUIs (browsers, editors) for FOAF and Semantic Web data
* Formalisms that address practical problems of heterogenous changing data
* Pragmatics of sharing data schemas across subtly different datasets

Your friend: the FBI

Your friend: the FBI 04/15/2004 11:36 AM

Thoughts for Tax Day:  A friend sent t his article on various rules that restrict the U.S. government from investigating terrorists.  The implication of the article is that we'd all be better off if the CIA and the FBI could work unfettered.  Certainly the widows and orphans of September 11th would be better off.  Yet our government has a history of pouring tremendous amounts of effort in the wrong areas, often resulting in months or years of misery for innocent people.  One of the more humorous recent examples is Booker Prize winner Ian McEwan's detain ment at the Vancouver airport.  We want the Federales to be strong enough to hunt down Saudi terrorists in flight schools but sufficiently weak that we can throw them off our own backs when necessary.

Feature Creep

“Those of you who read this site via RSS/Atom/LiveJournal syndication may have missed our latest site feature, ‘IM to a friend’.

As of this last Friday, there's a tiny AIM icon next to the title of each entry. When it's clicked on, most AIM clients should give you a new message window containing the URL of the entry you'd like to share with a friend. After you enter their screen name and send the message, feel free to chat about what you've sent their way. It works transparently and is loads easier than a standard copy and paste.

Yeah, we're trying to harbor conversation about our site and drive our traffic up. We're also trying to make sending URLs to friends a bit easier. We stole the idea from our friends at blogging.la….

Note: Trillian doesn't seem to install handlers for ‘aim:‘ links. If you run Trillian and click on the link, there's a good chance that nothing will happen. iChat and the official AIM client seem to be all good tho. Sorry Trillian users.” [Preshrunk]

Intere sting idea for those libraries exploring IM. Might be a nice reverse idea on the idea of creating IM interfaces into the catalog, too.

I finally broke down and snagged an RSS content aggregator thingie (which, in addition to confirming my feelings that polling for RSS feeds sucks more than Cygnus X-1, now makes me want RSS feeds on places that don't have them. EurekAlert and The New Scientist spring to mind) since I've got enough places I go infrequently that I was starting to lose track of which ones I'd been to lately and which I hadn't. 'Tis keen, though I'd like to be able to twiddle more stuff than the tool allows. No...
