Live Social Semantics

The SocioPatterns team partnered with Harith Alani, Martin Szomszor and Gianluca Correndo from the TAGora project to develop an experiment in which data on the real-life social interactions collected through the SocioPatterns platform is integrated with data from social networking systems such as FaceBook, social annotation systems such as Delicious, and the semantic web, mined by means of the platform developed by the TAGora team. The following movie gives and overview of the project.
