Knowledge Sharing and Filtering on Semantic Web 2.0

Abstract

E-learning and other popular services that grow on the fertile soil of the Internet technologies usually fail to reach their full potential. With new, emerging technologies of the second generation Internet there is even more to be captured and adopted: knowledge sharing with blogs, wikis, and social bookmarking services are examples of such technologies. Social Semantic Collaborative Filtering is a solution which adapts semantic web technologies to collaborative filtering solutions based on predefined social networks. In other words, users can classify and share their knowledge in a fashion similar to del.icio.us, but based on semantic annotations, linking to existing knowledge organization systems (thesauri, taxonomies). Provided solution does not only allow to organize existing information with nice AJAX interface, but also to blog on resources and browse, and share content of other blogs and forums (with SIOC exporters).
