==============================================================

Knowledge management has gained enough bad press over the years to no longer be considered the silver bullet for solving problems in large organizations. Should we blame the technologies applied to that domain or was it simply a misunderstanding of the term? Recent years have brought many interesting solutions where information is simply searched for using simple keyword-based search; communities of users transform information into knowledge by discovering, augmenting, sharing and putting it into use. Semantic technologies that did not make it to be called the Web 2.0 are now ready to unveil their full potential; more and more information is produced in a machine understandable way and more and more interesting services are empowered by this information.

Will Web 3.0 be another hype term or can new services like Twine or digi.me really show the full potential of the combined power of social and semantic services? Can wide adoption of metadata standards like SIOC (Semantically Interlinked Online Communities), SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization Systems) or FOAF (Friend of a Friend) help to deliver ample of semantics originating from community services? What is more - can we harness these technologies and build new, better solutions to knowledge management?

This workshop aims to bring together people who seek and research solutions for knowledge management; especially those, who show how semantic and social technologies can be used in this context. We would like to invite researchers and practitioners from both industry and academia to submit original results of their completed or ongoing projects. We encourage broad understanding of possible approaches to build knowledge management solutions; these could be, but are not limited, to social and semantic technologies, mobile computing, research on human-computer interaction and knowledge organization systems. We would like to discuss how new technologies for knowledge management can impact project management and business models.

The workshop will be concluded with 30 minutes "lightning talk" session where bright ideas and harsh comments can be presented in short, 5 minute slots. Talks will be followed by the conclusions session (ca. 30 min) to discuss further development of knowledge management and Web 3.0.
