Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Interfaces o Novel interfaces for high-volume transient data, e.g. feeds, streams and sensors. o Novel interfaces supporting discovery of social data and richer interactions using Facebook’s Open Graph Protocol, Twitter’s Annotations for tweets, Google’s Social Graph etc. o ‘Living’ interfaces to constantly evolving data, vocabularies, and emerging links between them. o Collaborative interfaces supporting social data analysis. o Adaptive user interfaces on the Web. o Lightweight components and processes for casual users to publish/share their own content on the Web. o Task-centric interfaces for structured and/or Linked Data. o Novel visualisation of structured, linked and aggregated data, originating from multiple sources. o Interface components for displaying/interacting with aggregated, heterogeneous Linked Data, e.g. components for displaying provenance information. o Ontology-based visualization of collections of data.
-
Interaction Paradigms o Novel (e.g. touch-based, gesture-based, etc.) interaction paradigms for textual, photos, music, videos, etc. on various platforms (e.g. mobile devices, set-top boxes, shared/public single/multiple displays). o Investigation of task-centric interaction paradigms beyond search and browse. o Novel interaction paradigms with structured, linked and aggregated data. o Ontology-based interaction with collections of data. o Semantic models for interaction and their reuse on the web
-
Empirical Studies and Evaluation o Use cases which present novel visualization requirements and expose interesting interaction challenges on the Social and Semantic Web. o Empirical studies that can guide the development of interfaces for Linked Data. o Implications for design from user-studies, pilot systems and live deployments in the Social and Semantic Web.
