Challenges in Bridging Social Semantics and Formal Semantics on the Web
This work addresses the problem of enhancing web-based epistemic communities for researchers and users by bridging semantics, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing graph-oriented approaches.
The paper tackles the challenge of integrating social and formal semantics on the web by using graph-oriented knowledge representation to model actors, actions, and interactions in online communities, with results applied to support interactions and manage resources in these communities.
This paper describes several results of Wimmics, a research lab which names stands for: web-instrumented man-machine interactions, communities, and semantics. The approaches introduced here rely on graph-oriented knowledge representation, reasoning and operationalization to model and support actors, actions and interactions in web-based epistemic communities. The re-search results are applied to support and foster interactions in online communities and manage their resources.
