The Social Web has enabled community-based knowledge acquisition with efforts like theWikipedia demonstrating the “wisdom of the crowds” in creating the world’s largest online encyclopaedia. Although it is difficultto define the exact boundaries of what structures or abstractions belong to the Social Web, a common property of such sitesis that they facilitate collaboration and sharing between users with low technical barriers, although usually on single sites.As more social websites form around the connections between people and their objects of interest, and as these “object-centrednetworks” grow bigger and more diverse, more intuitive methods are needed for representing and navigating the content itemsin these sites: both within and across social websites. Also, to better enable user access to multiple sites, interoperabilityamong social websites is required in terms of both the content objects and the person-to-person networks expressed on eachsite. This requires representation mechanisms to interconnect people and objects on the Social Web in an interoperable andextensible way. The Semantic Web provides such representation mechanisms: it can be used to link people and objects by representingthe heterogeneous ties that bind us all to each other (either directly or indirectly). In this paper, we will describe methodsthat build on agreed-upon Semantic Web formats to describe people, content objects, and the connections that bind them togetherexplicitly or implicitly, enabling social websites to interoperate by appealing to some common semantics. We will also focuson how developers can use the Semantic Web to augment the ways in which they create,reuse, and link content on social networkingsites and social websites.
