Abstract

This chapter describes what I believe makes Social Software attractive for the Semantic Web community, and what makes the Semantic Web attractive for the Social Software community. It also derives challenges for the Semantic Web community to address that seem relevant to us based on our experience with Social Software and the Semantic Web. In the remainder of this introduction, I briefly introduce Social Software, the Semantic Web, and the combination of both, which I call Semantic Social Software.
