It is well known that Social Web is „growing” bigger and bigger and more
diverse. An important issue relative to the huge amount of information user generated
content is that knowledge coming from different communities of users in social media
cannot be linked or shared because user generated content, in general, doesn’t have machine
interpretable metadata that can be “understood” by computers. The connection can be done
assigning meaning to web content with the help of the Semantic Web standards. The paper
presents a study about role and uses of Semantic Web technologies within the framework of
social media. A case study about the effective use of these technologies in a web
application that lists the posts introduced by users, which can be found in different social
sites is provided. The application was meant for usage within the Romanian research team. |
