Semantic technologies deal with machine-interpretable data representations but often overlook privacy issues. The document discusses how semantic web technologies like linked data and ontologies are used to represent personal data on the web in ways that can threaten user privacy without transparency. It presents several research projects that aim to enhance privacy and transparency by using semantic techniques to provide analytics dashboards showing how personal data is used, modeling social media privacy policies with ontologies, and ensuring diverse smart city data hubs consider privacy impacts.
