Summary

The objective of this Special Issue is to collect and report on recent high
quality research that addresses the problem of mass digital media content
generation and sharing. As social media keep extending over the Web as we
know it, new innovative dynamics are formed in the sense of media content
acquiring and sharing trends. Research in this area is important to combine
the fields of semantics and knowledge engineering within social media
platforms, mainly because of the overwhelming amount of disseminated
information and different contextualization types. High quality
contributions addressing related theoretical and practical aspects are
expected.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following semantic
media adaptation & personalization aspects in social media:

# Content creation, annotation and modelling for semantic social web
# Semantics-driven indexing and retrieval of multimedia contents
# Semantics-based recommender systems: theory and applications
# Semantic context modelling and extraction
# Social and semantic media collaboration platforms (e.g. semantic wikis)
# Social multimedia tagging and multimedia content communities
# Content customization and adaptation
# Context-aware multimedia applications
# Social network aggregation
# User modelling and dynamic profiling
# Adaptive and personalized multimedia summaries
# Intelligent personalized interfaces
# Hybrid socio-semantic approaches to profiling, recommendation engines or adaptation systems
