SPECIAL ISSUE ON
The Human Semantic Web
Personalization, Management of Personal Knowledge and Social Identity
for the Knowledge Society
Special Issue in Late 2009
The First World Summit on the Knowledge Society,
http://www.open-knowledge-society.org/summit.htm is the
conference/origin of the special issue
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Part A: Systems and
Humans seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on The Human
Semantic Web scheduled to appear in a late 2009 issue.
The Semantic Web vision has evolved in the last years as a blueprint for
a knowledge-based framework aimed at crossing the chasm from the current
Web of unstructured information resources to a Web equipped with
metadata and oriented to delegation of tasks to software agents. In
spite of the orientation of Semantic Web technology to machine
processing, a large part of useful Semantic Web applications require the
building of semantic user models, and semantic end-user interfaces. The
increasing popularity of open social systems has contributed an
additional dimension to the complex picture of bringing semantics to the
Web. Ontologies are the key piece of this framework in that they provide
shared semantics to metadata, thus enabling a degree of semantic
interoperability.
The challenge of building person- and social-oriented semantic systems
requires the integration of personal and social information models with
domain and commonsense ontologies. Also, there is a need to combine
metaknowledge on user interface and usability issues along with models
of social networks, which may result in hybrid systems. Going a step
further, cultural issues pervade the meaning of everyday's objects and
communication, so that successful applications need to consider these
aspects. The special issue aims at helping in communicating and
disseminating relevant recent research in systems engineering and human
machine systems as applied to the context of personal and social
information in the Semantic Web. The scope of the call includes systems
engineering and human machine systems for organizational applications,
Semantic Web approaches to Information Systems and Ontology-Based
Information Systems research, as well as the diverse underlying
personalization aspects, as long as they touch social, interface,
cultural or personal issues. Papers dealing with aspects that touch
several of these aspects are especially sought.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Applications of the Human Semantic Web to the Knowledge Society:
* Potentially large-scale applications (e.g. to Personal Knowledge
Management, Semantic Desktop, Knowledge
Portals)
* Data Semantics and Web Semantics in peer-to-peer systems, grids,
multimedia * Communication, dialogue and argumentation models *
Mediation, negotiation and conflict resolution
2. Ontologies for social and personal interaction:
* Ontology Alignment (mapping, matching, merging, mediation and
reconciliation)
* Ontology Learning and Metadata Generation (e.g. HLT and ML approaches)
* Ontology Management (creation, evolution, evaluation, etc.) * Ontology
Modeling, reuse, extraction, and evolution * Searching and Ranking
ontologies
3. Social Semantic Web:
* Social networks and processes on the Semantic Web * Semantic web
technology for collaboration and cooperation * Representing and
reasoning about Trust, Privacy, Security and Intellectual Property
Rights * Tools and processes for sense-making, analysis and
decision-making * Supporting strategic communication
4. Social Semantic Web:
