Motivation
----------

Media sharing and social networking websites have attracted many
millions of users resulting in vast collections of user generated
content. The contents are typically poorly structured and spread
over several platforms, each supporting specific media types. With
the increasing growth and diversity of these websites, new ways to
access and manage the contents are required ? both within and across
web platforms.

------------------
Topics of Interest
------------------

This workshop focuses on the interaction with these multimedia contents.
We are particularly interested in contributions that follow Web 2.0
principles of simplicity and/or social navigation in combination with
the representation, annotation, and linking power of the Semantic Web.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Navigating and visualizing semantically annotated multimedia content
* Social semantic tagging of multimedia content
* Social semantic recommendation and search of multimedia content
* Semantic mashups of multimedia content across websites
* Semantic annotation of multimedia content in Wikis and Weblogs
* Interaction with multimedia content on the semantic desktop
* Semantic user interfaces for media sharing and social networking
websites
* Experiences and use cases regarding the interaction with multimedia
content on the Social Semantic Web
