| DESCRIPTION | In this unit, we will investigate which tools and technologies are currently available to achieve human-machine content co-creation, and what are their limitations. We will analyze how Language Technology and Natural Language Processing techniques contribute to information extraction and eventually from the web and its reuse. The role that tagging (i.e. keywords used to describe the resources contributed by users in social media applications) is gaining in the Social Web will be addressed. We will analyze various algorithms that can be employed to extract structured information from tags leading to a categorization of knowledge that takes users into account. More specifically, we will focus on how the application of Semantic Web technologies, such as ontologies, to the Social Web is leading towards the Social Semantic Web, in which users, resources and knowledge are closely interlinked. Textbooks: • Breslin, J. G., Passant, A., Decker, S. "The Social Semantic Web". Springer Verlag (2010). • Several articles for the Language Technology applications to the Semantic Web and Social Web. |
