Thursday, November 11, at 10:30 a.m. CDT. Bryant Clevenger, global knowledge sharing leader for IBM Global Business Services, will explain how IBM is leveraging new social capabilities to accelerate access to relevant content and people.

Google social search - seems dependent on populated Google profiles

The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. For instance, this is used on Facebook to enable any web page to have the same functionality as a Facebook Page. While many different technologies and schemas exist and could be combined together, there isn't a single technology which provides enough information to richly represent any web page within the social graph. The Open Graph protocol builds on these existing technologies and gives developers one thing to implement. Developer simplicity is a key goal of the Open Graph protocol which has informed many of the technical design decisions.

The means to connect social networks and software applications together have existed for years but haven't been very open or useful enough to reach critical mass. That's been changing as OpenSocial has continued to doggedly improve and mature. The latest version has a chance to go mainstream, the question is if users will find the features compelling enough to use.

at the 2nd meeting of the Knowledge Hub advisory group, we asked people to map how they would use the Knowledge Hub (imagining that it's everything they wanted it to be) to satisfy their knowledge and information needs around a popular, complex LAA target. (In one case, NI 111 - first time entrants to the youth justice system and NI 39 hospital admissions due to alcohol related harm).

SIOC is a Social Semantic Web project that originated at DERI, NUI Galway (funded by SFI) and which aims to interlink online communities with semantic technologies.

The SIOC initiative (Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities) aims to enable the integration of online community information. SIOC provides a Semantic Web ontology for representing rich data from the Social Web in RDF.
