Synopsis
The book at hand re?ects on the increasing convergence of Social Media and Semantic Web technologies. It was the editors' intention to collect - to-date and high quality contributions that illustrate various approaches to this young and emerging technology area. To guarantee this we invited be- of authors from the international conferences I-SEMANTICS and I-KNOW from the years 2007 & 2008 that took place in Graz / Austria to prepare - tended contributions that illustrate this agile and fast-evolving development and hint at trends that might accompany us for the years to come. More than 60 authors from 12 countries with either academic or industrial ba- ground provided us with 20 articles covering a broad range of topics related to frameworks, applications and concrete use cases. After more than a year of preparation we would like to thank all authors for sharing their experiences and insights with the reader. We also would like to thank them for their motivation, dedication and creativity uncompla- inglyincludingourfeedbackintotheircontributionstherebyensuringthehigh qualityofthebook.

From the Back Cover
When Social Media and the Semantic Web became popular a few years ago it was a simple co-existence between the two, but in the meantime they have increasingly melted making it impossible to think of knowledge technologies without thinking of the Semantic Web. As we can witness today Social Media are widely accepted and common in educational, research and business contexts. Complementary to this Semantic Web principles have not only proven applicable at the technological level solving problems such as data integration and data quality management, but have also proved their applicability at the service level networking knowledge and people across diverse media, supporting search and retrieval, recommendation, collaboration and even trust and accountability issues, bringing Social Media to their full potential.
The book at hand reflects on the increasing convergence of Social Media and Semantic Web technologies. It was the editors' intention to collect up-to-date and high quality contributions that illustrate various approaches to this young and emerging technology area.
