Platform technical warm-up: this task gathers the feasibility studies
covering the core technical options for Task 2, Task 3 and Task 4 and
their interactions. It includes the comparison of the technical and
architectural options, (AJAX frameworks, JSF, JONAS, SOA, etc.)
and the choice of architecture and framework of the overall project.

State of the art on social network analysis techniques and
identification of opportunities for ontology-based extensions:
 identify families of existing graph algorithms for social network
analysis;
 identify opportunities of extensions using typed nodes and arcs;
 identify extensions of inferences using ontologies gathering he
types.

will integrate and start from existing contributions such as FOAF and
SIOC.

Tagging server prototype: provides
functionalities to all other tools using tags:
 tag creation and persistence;
 tag models and representation;
 tag searching / matching;
 tag analysis, trend and history;
 content tagging basic assistance.

Semantic Social Bookmark prototyping: services such as Del.icio.us suffer from several
shortcomings with regards to our scenarios:
 tags are terms used as such in indexing, searching and navigating; this task we look at
improving social bookmarks with formal representation allowing new functionalities
and interoperability with other tools; improvements include methods for tag suggestion
and tag analysis.
 the social structure of the bookmarkers can be represented formally and shared with
other tools to span the whole scenario;
 the organizational context of the scenario implies constraints on the tool (security,
scope, etc.);
 notification is underestimated in existing tools: when a bookmark is set many aspects
of the bookmarked resources could be monitored to provide notification services;
This prototype will propose assisting semantic bookmarking and monitoring of URL
accessible resources.
SweetWiki v2 design: through user feedback and experience with the first release of
SweetWiki, a number of extensions are currently under consideration including:
 Extend the underlying semantic models used by SweetWiki v1, e.g., for designing
rights access management or complete versioning (both content and metadata);
 Awareness features, such as notification that takes into account social network models
designed and developed in Task 3;
 Integration with other services such as social tagging and bookmarking services,
designed in Task 4;
 Turn SweetWiki into a front-end for semantic web applications development;
 Improved search and navigation features using better reasoning algorithms that take
into account social network models;
 Improve different editors (page content editor, folksonomy/ontology editor);
 Mashup/Ajax integration using semantic models.
This task will evaluate the relevance of such proposed improvements, taking into account
continuing feedback from users involved in the scenarios studied in Task 1. We will
propose a prioritized list of extensions to be undertaken.

SweetWiki low level components and libraries: implementation of the low
level components and libraries required by the extensions described above:
implementation of key modules (editors, components, services) and libraries
(e.g., for abstracting the use of semantic web technologies as well as a first test of
orchestrations with external services such as the social tagging service and
bookmarking service developed in Task 4). Following the agile cycle this task
will also include the integration in the final architecture and continuous tests.

Social Scraping prototyping: this is an entirely new application identified in
analyzing the scenarios from the watchers. The idea is that bookmarking is
sometime not enough: for important resources watcher scrap them / copy them
internally to ensure their preservation. Thus there is a whole new opportunity for
a social sharing of these scrapped resources with functionalities including:
 tagging and notification just like bookmarks;
 transclusion functionalities and provision of mash-up sources;
 notification of source changes;
 customization / reorganization of scrapped documents;
This prototype will propose assisting semantic tagging, sharing and monitoring
of resources that could be no longer URL-accessible. We foresee that these
functionalities may merge with the wiki ones.
Search tools: design the end-users' interfaces to transversally search the
watchers' resources using Task 4 services integrating in particular:
 bookmarks;
 scrapped documents;
 blogs;
 wiki synthesis;
 social network;
