Sihem Amer-Yahia (Yahoo! Research, USA) Abstract: Social Content Sites, which integrate traditional content sites (e.g., Yahoo! Travel) with social networks (e.g., Facebook) have recently emerged as a popular Web destination for creating and sharing content and social links. We discuss new challenges in searching content on those sites and expand the discussion to community-driven information exploration. In particular, we present Social Scope, a new architecture which harnesses information from multiple social content sites and Jelly, a language to help developers build scalable information exploration applications. At the core of our architecture and language are user communities and topics which model users' interests. Finally, we examine how XML technologies can help in modeling and processing social information. |
