Social Web Evolution: Integrating Semantic Applications and Web 2.0
Technologies
A book edited by
Miltiadis D. Lytras,American College of Greece, Greece
Patricia Ordonez de Pablos, University of Oviedo, Spain
Introduction
As semantic technologies prove their value with targeted applications, there
are increasing opportunities to consider their application in social
contexts for knowledge, learning and human development.
Semantic Web and Knowledge Management has been accepted as a critical
enabler aiming to increase knowledge-related performance by better use of
intellectual assets, in addition to which many governments are forced to
increasingly deal with knowledge services that form larger parts of the
global economy and society.
Thus there are recent examples of applications of semantics for empowering
knowledge management or better supporting knowledge services for social
networks. In this edited book we explore the potential of Web 2.0 and its
synergies with Semantic Web, and we provide the state of the art in
theoretical foundations and technological applications. In the context of
Social Web Evolution, social and human issues are of equal if not higher
importance than the technical issues that have tended to receive the bulk of
attention in the past. Consequently, chapters that touch these aspects, or
those that extend technical and domain knowledge to social and human issues
are especially sought. This is intended to initiate a dialog between the
social, psychological, and technical views of the field.
