Semantic web HCI: discussing research implications

Abstract

Semantic Web progress is very active, and this past year shows a much greater focus on the subject of user interaction. W3C leaders talk about the importance and.grand challenges. for user interaction. Workshops showcase more well-developed projects and innovative interaction designs. A W3C mailing list has begun. But what are the implications for the HCI community? What research and practice contributions can be made, and what relationships can be fostered with the semantic web research community? This collaborative, interactive session will give CHI participants a chance to discuss the issues that have surfaced at recent semantic web workshops.
