Semantic Web enables intelligent interaction among systems and
applications on the Web by deploying ontologies, semantic annotationPKa|z?|7s
of Web content, and reasoning. Web 2.0 technologies such as mashups,
blogs, wikis, feeds, interface remixes, and social networking/tagging
systems, support social interactions among people on the Web.
These two important and popular sets of Internet technologies are
often considered alternative and opposing to each other. Others\X y yL]vU hd
consider them rather complementary to each other.
This special issue of AoIS is open to both of these views and attemptsSa2Fcd` \*b
to support discussion on both synergies and controversies of the twovf'k1~6mpd
technologies. Moreover, it is open to the "third" approach as well
what other technologies contribute to both Semantic Web and Web 2.0?5D X{%Sv0hh#H

few, that might have a considerable impact on both Semantic Web andW^-^Hj'RL
Web 2.0. Can these other technologies bridge the controversies between!{$x2YmE&| pa6i8U
Semantic Web and Web 2.0, or do they only widen the gap and drive the
two approaches further away from each other? Alternatively, can other
technologies take on the role of matching up with the semantic demands
of Web 2.0 applications? Can other technologies help users effectively
create, maintain, map between, and use RDF/OWL content, in order to
further support Web 2.0 participatory ecosystems of content that is+c]Q&X'El
supplied and maintained by their users?
The list of possible topics includes, but is not limited to the tNN5p3eS
following:
- ontologies and semantic annotations for Web 2.0 content and2f;C n/k+{
applications
- collaborative tagging and folksonomies vs. semantic annotations
