Visual Interfaces to the Social and the Semantic Web (VISSW 2009)
This looks interesting – a workshop exploring interface developments that respond to the shift of the web from a predominantly read-only medium to a read/write.
…the need for intelligent and visual human interfaces to this evolving Web is not limited simply to the modalities of searching and browsing (important as these are). As the Web continues to evolve from a read-mainly to a read-write medium, and the level of social interaction supported on the Web increases, there is also a pressing need to support end-users who engage in a wide range of online tasks, such as publishing and sharing their own data on the Web.
Topics:
- Visual interfaces supporting exploration and/or navigation of unstructured or structured data on the Web
- Visualizing and interacting with semi-structured/linked data on the Semantic Web or the Social Semantic Desktop
- Ontology-based visualization of & interaction with collections of data
- Novel paradigms to interact with textual data, photos, music, videos on mobile devices
- Lightweight components for casual users to publish/share their own contents on the Web
- Real-world use cases
- Lessons learned from intelligent interfaces built to interact with Web-based contents
Look forward to seeing what comes out of this.
