Abstract:

An increasing number of our social interactions are now done through the Web: this Social Web offers numerous innovation opportunities for enriching both the personal and work life of its participants. But beyond these opportunities, there are still many technical, policy and social challenges that need to be addressed, some of which W3C has started to tackle, through a workshop early 2009, and an ongoing incubator group dedicated to that topic.
