The MIT Center for Collective Intelligence brings together faculty from across MIT to conduct research on how new communications technologies are changing they way people work together. Our basic research question is:  How can people and computers be connected so that—collectively—they act more intelligently than any individuals, groups, or computers have ever done before?'

1st International Workshop on Collective Semantics: Collective Intelligence & the Semantic Web (CISWeb 2008) hosted by the 5th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC-08) Description - Scope The Web 2.0 has introduced new style of information sharing platforms favoring mass participation of users and resulting overall interestingness over the individual quality of information content and information organization. Dynamic knowledge emerges as the outcome of the interactions of masses of users in social networks (over 40 million in facebook). Thereby, the heterogeneity of data sources (e.g. multimedia, over 1 billion photos in flickr; over 1 million streams/day from YouTube), the scale of information (25% of network traffic is estimated to be YouTube related) and the huge amount of knowledge (100 millions of postings in flickr), pose many difficulties in discovering relevant information and in arriving at a larger picture of the available content.
