Live Social SemanticsA novel application that integrates data from the semantic web, online social networks, and a real-world face-to-face contact sensing platform.Martin SzomszorUniversity of Southampton

Live Social SemanticsHistoryDagstuhl Seminar on Social Web Communities (Sept 2008)
Sociopatterns.orgThis projects aims to shed light on patterns in social dynamics and coordinated human activity. We do so by developing and deploying an experimental social interaction sensing platform. This platform consists of portable sensing device and software tools for aggregating, analyzing and visualizing the resulting data.http://www.sciencegallery.com/infectious

LSS – Proposed FeaturesContact Histories“Hey, I remember talking to this person, but I don’t know their name / email / institution”People you might know “Who are the people in my social networks / community of practice who are also attending the conference? What papers are they presenting”Profiles of Interest“I’d like to expose the things that I’m interested in to other participants, including extra-academic data”
Features NOT RequiredWe are not concerned with tracking an individual’s exact location. The focus of LSS is to log social interactions (face-to-face contact)We don’t want to track people outside the conference areaParticipationParticipation is voluntary

LSS @ ESWC20094 Days (1-4 June 2009)
>300 Attendees, 187 of which participated in the experiment
Each participant was issued with a uniquely number RFID badge
Users could register their badge number on a website, and associate it to their name, institution, email, and social networking accounts
Out of the 187 who collected a badge, 139 registered their account on the website
SNS Usage Statistics
Survey ResultsAfter the conference, we emailed the users who did register on our site, but did not enter any social networking accounts. The aim was to understand the reasons why:
Future WorkAllow individuals to link to their own foaf profilesMore SNS sites:Twitter, LinkedIn, etc…Document and Advertise Linked Data InterfaceSupport other applications in exploiting the dataRecommend ContactsWhat features are most predictive of face-to-face contact
Building Better ProfilesWhat tags correspond to interests?Locations and topics are useful, but other terms are notTF / IDF ApproachIt’s not that useful to find out we are all interested in RDF and the Semantic WebMaking use of the Category hierarchyIf I’m interested in Facebook, Flickr, Last.fm, Delicious, etc, I can extrapolate the interest Online_Social_Networks
