Visual interfaces to the social and Semantic Web (VISSW 2011)

Abstract

The large amount of data created, published and consumed by users on the Social and Semantic Web raises significant and exciting research challenges such as data integration as well as effective access to and navigation across heterogeneous data sources on different platforms. Building on the success of the VISSW 2009 and 2010 workshops, the IUI2011 workshop on Visual Interfaces to the Social and Semantic Web aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from different fields to discuss the latest research results and challenges in designing, implementing, and evaluating intelligent interfaces supporting access, navigation and publishing of different types of contents on the Social and Semantic Web. This paper outlines the context of the workshop.
