T3.1 T0 T0+06 Platform technical warm-up: this task gathers the feasibility studies covering the core technical options for Task 2, Task 3 and Task 4 and their interactions. It includes the comparison of the technical and architectural options, (AJAX frameworks, JSF, JONAS, SOA, etc.) and the choice of architecture and framework of the overall project.

T3.2 T0 T0+06 State of the art on social network analysis techniques and identification of opportunities for ontology-based extensions:identify families of existing graph algorithms for social network analysis;identify opportunities of extensions using typed nodes and arcs;identify extensions of inferences using ontologies gathering he types.

T3.3 T0+06 T0+13 Represent, annotate and make explicit uses and profiles with semantic web technologies: design an ontology-based a model of the users' profiles, users' usages and users' interactions. These models will integrate and start from existing contributions such as FOAF and SIOC.

T3.4 T0+13 T0+32 Bridge ontology-based reasoning and existing graph theory algorithms used in Social network analysis and propose new algorithms for ontology-based social network analysis.

T3.5 T0 T0+06 State of the art on ontology & folksonomy hybrid techniques and identification of opportunities for new contributions.

T3.6 T0+06 T0+13 Propose new models, methods and interfaces for ontology & folksonomy hybrid solutions and in particular ergonomic tools for visualizing and reorganizing folksonomies. These models will integrate and start from existing contributions such as SKOS, MOAT and SCOT.

T3.7 T0+13 T0+32 Propose new algorithms for ontology & folksonomy hybrid reasoning, proposing some algorithms and advanced interfaces to support the life-cycle of these hybrids models mixing folksonomies and ontologies.

T3.10 T0+06 T0+12 Tagging server prototype: provides the core tagging functionalities to all other tools using tags:tag creation and persistence;tag models and representation;tag searching / matching;tag analysis, trend and history;content tagging basic assistance.

T4.1 T0+09 T0+15 Semantic Social Bookmark prototyping: services such as Del.icio.us suffer from several shortcomings with regards to our scenarios:tags are terms used as such in indexing, searching and navigating; this task we look at improving social bookmarks with formal representation allowing new functionalities and interoperability with other tools; improvements include methods for tag suggestion and tag analysis.the social structure of the bookmarkers can be represented formally and shared with other tools to span the whole scenario;the organizational context of the scenario implies constraints on the tool (security, scope, etc.);notification is underestimated in existing tools: when a bookmark is set many aspects of the bookmarked resources could be monitored to provide notification services;This prototype will propose assisting semantic bookmarking and monitoring of URL accessible resources.

T4.2.a T0 T0+06 SweetWiki v2 design: through user feedback and experience with the first release of SweetWiki, a number of extensions are currently under consideration including:Extend the underlying semantic models used by SweetWiki v1, e.g., for designing rights access management or complete versioning (both content and metadata);Awareness features, such as notification that takes into account social network models designed and developed in Task 3;Integration with other services such as social tagging and bookmarking services, designed in Task 4;Turn SweetWiki into a front-end for semantic web applications development;Improved search and navigation features using better reasoning algorithms that take into account social network models;Improve different editors (page content editor, folksonomy/ontology editor);Mashup/Ajax integration using semantic models.This task will evaluate the relevance of such proposed improvements, taking into account continuing feedback from users involved in the scenarios studied in Task 1. We will propose a prioritized list of extensions to be undertaken.

T4.2.b T0+06 T0+32 SweetWiki low level components and libraries: implementation of the low level components and libraries required by the extensions described above: implementation of key modules (editors, components, services) and libraries (e.g., for abstracting the use of semantic web technologies as well as a first test of orchestrations with external services such as the social tagging service and bookmarking service developed in Task 4). Following the agile cycle this task will also include the integration in the final architecture and continuous tests.

T4.3 T0+11 T0+17 Social Scraping prototyping: this is an entirely new application identified in analyzing the scenarios from the watchers. The idea is that bookmarking is sometime not enough: for important resources watcher scrap them / copy them internally to ensure their preservation. Thus there is a whole new opportunity for a social sharing of these scrapped resources with functionalities including:tagging and notification just like bookmarks;transclusion functionalities and provision of mash-up sources;notification of source changes;customization / reorganization of scrapped documents;This prototype will propose assisting semantic tagging, sharing and monitoring of resources that could be no longer URL-accessible. We foresee that these functionalities may merge with the wiki ones.

T4.4 T0+17 T0+32 Search tools: design the end-users' interfaces to transversally search the watchers' resources using Task 4 services integrating in particular:bookmarks;scrapped documents;blogs;wiki synthesis;social network;
