This is the participant development wiki for SWUI 2007. The SWUI 2007 workshop takes place on June 7th at both the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Zurich, with a video link joining these locations. We ask each participant to enter a position statement about what they'd like to bring to, and get from, this workshop.

Goals and Outcomes

1) What are the unique and/or critically important aspects of user interaction for SW?

  • what are the challenges you're working on?
  • why do you think they fit into the SWUI space specifically?
  • what new niche/corner does that illuminate?
  • is SWUI a unique contribution, or an enabler, or both?

2) What are the priority agenda items for SWUI research, design, evaluation?

3) What forums are most valuable/constructive for SWUI going forward?

  • conference papers/tracks
  • workshops within major conferences
  • specialized mini-conferences
  • journals
  • online community: wiki and list
  • research/project collaborations
  • other...

Some additional points for discussion of deliverables

  • Plan for promoting upcoming conference presence and other meetings
  • Document for Program Committees (etc.)
    • Audiences: (E)ISWC 2008, CHI2008, other?
    • Topics: scope of "SW" in context, expectations for evaluation and design
    • Form: this wiki site, white paper?, targeted letters?
  • Build common "ontology" for SWUI to enable discussion and comparison
  • Identify issues and practices that researchers should understand
  • Other?

Proposed Agenda

PART 1: Understanding where we are

Session 1: 8am/2pm

  • welcome (mc, Avi)
  • introductions (all, max 2 minutes each)
  • summary of emerging issues (mc, Avi, Lloyd, Duane)

One hour break: 10am/4pm

  • Local conversation, identify key discussion issues

Session 2: 11am/5pm (note: offline from 10am/4pm to 11am/5pm)

  • Tabulator, and why (Tim B-L)
  • Perspectives/recent work (mc)
  • Other brief demos
  • Expectations for afternoon discussion (all)

Meal, informal discussions: 12:30pm/6:30pm

PART 2: Where do we go from here?

Session 3: 1:15pm/7:15pm

Break: 2:45pm/8:45pm

Session 4: 3pm/9pm

  • Summary reflections (all)
  • Wrap-up thoughts and next steps (mc, Avi, Lloyd, Duane)

Possible Discussion Topics

This is a list of issues to pick from for discussion at SWUI 2007. It is non-binding and is intentionally subject to change by all.

  • Plan for promoting upcoming conference presence and other meetings
  • "Mapping" SWUI to build common vocabulary (ontology?)
  • SWUI design principles
  • How To document
    • Target use cases
      • CFP's, author advice, reviewer advice
      • Program committee's: ISWC 2008, ESWC 2008, SWUI 2008(?)
      • What do ISWC 2008 reviews and PC members need to know to handle SWUI-related papers well?
    • Most important content
    • Alignment with other efforts, especially other wikis such as W3C's ESW Wiki
  • Primer on Semantic Web for people new to the research area - as a newbie I'd like to see a list of definitions for semantic technology (e.g., RDF, triples, mash, semantic browser). There do seem to be a set of terms and concepts that are unique to the field. And also a set of primary user interaction issues that we see as targets for research. I think this would be very useful in engaging other disciplines.

CHI 08 Workshop Draft

Will include things that we need from whom to go into the proposal. mc to write overview

CHI 08 DRAFT PROPOSAL

Remote Broadcast (trial)

One-way video broadcasts:

  • Zurich: http://breeze.switch.ch/swui
  • MIT: rtsp://caprica.csail.mit.edu/tig-test.sdp
  • We will try our best with video broadcast, but cannot be certain that everything will work


Text chat

  • irc feed at freenode, room "swui07"
  • we may instead use the chat in the breeze videocast interface (above)
