4. Bringing a Semantic Web Perspective to Social Machines Projects
Real life is and must be full of all kinds of social constraint – the very processes from which society arises. Computers can help if we use them to create abstract social machines on the Web: processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration… The stage is set for an evolutionary growth of new social engines. Berners-Lee, Weaving the Web, 1999

SOCIAM: The Theory and Practiceof Social Machines
http://www.sociam.org/
• Research into pioneering methods of supporting purposeful human interaction on the World Wide Web, of the kind exemplified by phenomena such as Wikipedia and Galaxy Zoo.
• These collaborations are empowering, as communities identify and solve their own problems, harnessing their commitment, local knowledge and embedded skills, without having to rely on remote experts or governments.
• The ambition is to enable us to build social machines that solve the routine tasks of daily life as well as the emergencies… to develop the theory and practice so that we can create the next generation of decentralised, data intensive, social machines.
• Understanding the attributes of the current generation of successful social machines will help us build the next. ht

“The myExperiment social machine protected by the reCAPTCHA social machine was attacked by the spam social machine so we built a temporary social machine to delete accounts using people, scripts and a blacklisting social machine then evolved the myExp social machine into a new social machine…”

The challenge is to foster the co-constituted socio-technical system on the right i.e. a computationally-enabled sense-making network of expertise, data, models and narratives.
Big data elephant versus sense-making network?
Iain Buchan
Intersticia, for Web Science Australia
1. Design of new algorithms and interfaces
2. New approaches to distributed inference and query
3. Developing declarative social machinery, including policy-aware systems of privacy, trust and accountability
4. “Humanity in the loop”

It’s an ecosystem… and Semantic Web is the glue• See ISWC workshops!• Policy, privacy, trust and
accountability• Provenance• Data integration

Coupling and Composing Social Machines
Building a Social Machine How do we make building successful social machines as reliable as building successful websites?
What are the components/services/utilitiesand how are they assembled?
How are they instrumented and monitored?
• OWL-S, SWS, … virtual organisations revisited?• Back office versus human playground

1. The future is Big Data and Big Social… and with increasing automation (there be dragons!)
2. The Theory, Practice, Design and Construction of Social Machines are emerging areas of study
3. You are knowledge infrastructure and Social Machines designers… it may be useful to think about your projects in terms of Social Machines
4. Think about Semantic Web plus Social Machines for tomorrow’s knowledge infrastructure: policy, provenance, composition, social objects
