Title: Data-centric social networking
Abstract:
Recent years have seen a growth in social networking on the internet. Sites like MySpace, FaceBook and many others, allow users to upload personal content and to use various facilities for social connection. And much has also been made about social networking characteristics and the reasons for its success.
There is another type of social networking that might be called 'data-centric' where users upload data not about themselves, but rather about subjects of interest, topical issues and more. And I would like to say something of what these sites offer people in terms of how that data can be used.
I would like to conclude by saying a few words about bringing together both of the above into a system which I am writing and researching and which will hopefully merge both people and data into one entity and which will allow research to be carried out on such 'data-centricity'.
