Second Workshop on Trust and Privacy on the Social and Semantic Web, Heraklion, Greece
More than ever, the semantic web is becoming reality as it is an integrated component of the internet - be it the Open Linked Data movement or the annotated and structured information available on web pages used by major search engines, such as Yahoo! and Google. Moreover, social data about people and their interaction is made available in machine-understandable format in various projects.
Facing this amount of data, privacy and trust are important considerations. The challenging research questions arising from this movement include:
- How do people know that the data gathered from several sources for reasoning purposes can be trusted?
- How can one avoid that personal data exposed on the semantic web will be combined with other available semantic data in a way that sensitive information may be revealed?
- How shall a safe reasoning process look like that does not end up in a conflict only because a single semantic web peer exposed a contradiction?
The workshop will foster discussions concerning questions like these, leading to a view on the way forward.For further information, please visit:
