RUMOUR 2016 aims to gather innovative approaches to exploitation of social media using semantic web technologies and linked data. The workshop will bring together practitioners, researchers, and scholars from Semantic Web, Linked Data, and Social Sciences, to share examples, cases, theories, and analysis of social media and linked data in order to address the intersection among these areas. This intersection includes not only high challenge problems such as the understanding and acting upon large-scale data of different kinds, provenance, and reliability, but also the use of these media for various applications.

The scope of RUMOUR 2016 includes, but is not limited to the following topics:
- Social data mining to create structured social media resources;
- Semantic annotation;
- Ontologies for the annotation of learning resources;
- Social media and linked data methodologies in real-life scenarios;
- Ontological modelling of social media data;
- Integration of social media with linked data;
- The web of data for e-commerce;
- Interactive interfaces and visual analytics methodologies;
- Extracting and linking content;
- Collaborative tools and services for citizens, organisations, communities;
- Computational social science for the semantic web;
- User profiling and assessing the suitability of content from social media;
- Sentiment analysis in social media and linked data.
