@inproceedings{scerri2008semantic, abstract = {In this paper, we introduce a formal email workflow model based on traditional email, which enables the user to define and execute ad-hoc workflows in an intuitive way. This model paves the way for semantic annotation of implicit, well-defined workflows, thus making them explicit and exposing the missing information in a machine processable way. Grounding this work within the Social Semantic Desktop [1] via appropriate ontologies means that this information can be exploited for the benefit of the user. This will have a direct impact on their personal information management - given email is not just a major channel of data exchange between desktops, but it also serves as a virtual working environment where people collaborate. Thus the presented workflow model will have a concrete manifestation in the creation, organization and exchange of semantic desktop data.}, added-at = {2008-05-28T14:50:05.000+0200}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, author = {Scerri, Simon and Handschuh, Siegfried and Decker, Stefan}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/20702addea22ce6b1b90eccffef1b9397/eswc2008}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 5th European Semantic Web Conference}, editor = {Hauswirth, Manfred and Koubarakis, Manolis and Bechhofer, Sean}, interhash = {00c6ed428990b0a3d5539068e7213105}, intrahash = {0702addea22ce6b1b90eccffef1b9397}, keywords = {email social act speech workflow information desktop semantic management theory personal patterns applications-1}, month = {June}, publisher = {Springer Verlag}, series = {LNCS}, timestamp = {2008-05-28T14:50:05.000+0200}, title = {Semantic Email as a communication medium for the Social Semantic Desktop}, url = {http://data.semanticweb.org/conference/eswc/2008/papers/325}, year = 2008 }
