A key argument for modeling knowledge in ontologies is the easy
-use and re-engineering of the knowledge. However, beside
nsistency checking, current ontology engineering tools provide
ly basic functionalities for analyzing ontologies. Since
tologies can be considered as (labeled, directed) graphs, graph
alysis techniques are a suitable answer for this need. Graph
alysis has been performed by sociologists for over 60 years, and
sulted in the vivid research area of Social Network Analysis
NA). While social network structures in general currently receive
gh attention in the Semantic Web community, there are only very
w SNA applications up to now, and virtually none for analyzing the
ructure of ontologies.

e illustrate in this paper the benefits of applying SNA to
tologies and the Semantic Web, and discuss which research topics
ise on the edge between the two areas. In particular, we discuss
w different notions of centrality describe the core content and
ructure of an ontology. From the rather simple notion of degree
ntrality over betweenness centrality to the more complex
genvector centrality based on Hermitian matrices, we illustrate
e insights these measures provide on two ontologies, which are
fferent in purpose, scope, and size.

In social bookmark tools users are setting up
ghtweight conceptual structures called folksonomies. Currently,
e information retrieval support is limited. We present a formal
del and a new search algorithm for folksonomies, called
lkRank, that exploits the structure of the folksonomy. The
oposed algorithm is also applied to find communities within the
lksonomy and is used to structure search results. All findings are
monstrated on a large scale dataset. A long version of this paper

As the number of resources on the web exceeds by far the number of
cuments one can track, it becomes increasingly difficult to remain
to date on ones own areas of interest. The problem becomes more
vere with the increasing fraction of multimedia data, from which
is difficult to extract some conceptual description of their
ntents.

ne way to overcome this problem are social bookmark tools, which
e rapidly emerging on the web. In such systems, users are setting
lightweight conceptual structures called folksonomies, and
ercome thus the knowledge acquisition bottleneck. As more and more
ople participate in the effort, the use of a common vocabulary
comes more and more stable. We present an approach for discovering
pic-specific trends within folksonomies. It is based on a
fferential adaptation of the PageRank algorithm to the triadic
pergraph structure of a folksonomy. The approach allows for any
nd of data, as it does not rely on the internal structure of the
cuments. In particular, this allows to consider different data
pes in the same analysis step. We run experiments on a large-scale
al-world snapshot of a social bookmarking system.

SemanticWeb Mining aims at combining the two fast-developing research areas SemanticWeb andWeb Mining.
is survey analyzes the convergence of trends from both areas: an increasing number of researchers is working on
proving the results ofWeb Mining by exploiting semantic structures in theWeb, and they make use ofWeb Mining
chniques for building the Semantic Web. Last but not least, these techniques can be used for mining the Semantic
b itself.
e Semantic Web is the second-generation WWW, enriched by machine-processable information which supports
e user in his tasks. Given the enormous size even of today’s Web, it is impossible to manually enrich all of
ese resources. Therefore, automated schemes for learning the relevant information are increasingly being used.
b Mining aims at discovering insights about the meaning of Web resources and their usage. Given the primarily
ntactical nature of the data being mined, the discovery of meaning is impossible based on these data only. Therefore,
rmalizations of the semantics of Web sites and navigation behavior are becoming more and more common.
rthermore, mining the Semantic Web itself is another upcoming application. We argue that the two areas Web
ning and Semantic Web need each other to fulfill their goals, but that the full potential of this convergence is not
t realized. This paper gives an overview of where the two areas meet today, and sketches ways of how a closer
tegration could be profitable.
