Data Engineering for Blogs, Social Media and Web 2.0
ICDE 2008 Workshop, 11-12 April 2008
http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/icde2008
Social media systems such as weblogs, photo and link sharing
sites, wikis and on-line forums are estimated to produce up to
one third of new Web content. Several attributes set these "Web
2.0" sites apart from traditional Web pages and resources: they
are often annotated with semantic metadata, they are intertwined
with human social networks and their constituent parts exhibit a
rich set of relations and connections through comments,
trackbacks, advertisements, tags, and other metadata. Developing
models of these new information sources, understanding how to
manage them, and developing techniques to extract useful
information from them are topics of keen interest.
This one-day ICDE workshop will focus on the data engineering,
data management and data mining issues that arise out of work in
the area of social media and Web2.0 applications. The
participatory and non central controlled nature of such
applications opens several new vistas for research. The dominant
focus of the workshop will be on presentation of refereed papers
both long and short. We will also plan to have a keynote and/or a
panel discussion.
Topics will include but are not limited to issues such as graph
analysis, trust and reputation in open media, data mining of
social media, crawling and indexing, ranking and influence
measurement of blogs/bloggers, cross media link detection and
analysis, opinion and sentiment detection, measuring and
predicting social media phenomenon such as "buzz spread",
metadata detection topic detection and tracking.
