Abstract

The development of Social Websites that help users in creating and gathering knowledge, are discussed. These Social Websites help users in creating and gathering knowledge, by simplifying user contributions through blogs, tagging, folksonomies, wikis, podcasts, and online social networks. These Social Websites have also enabled community-based knowledge acquisition, with efforts, such as Wikipedia, which demonstrate the idea of users in creating the world's largest online encyclopedia. The Semantic Web aims to provide the tools that are needed to define extensible and flexible standards for information exchange and interoperability on the Social Websites. The application of Semantic Web frameworks, such as Semantically Interlinked Online Communities (SIOC) and Friend-of-a-friend (FOAF) to the Semantic Web can lead to a Social Semantic Web, creating a network of interlinked and semantically significant knowledge.
