We are pleased to invite you to participate in the first edition
of the International Workshop on Data Management in the Social 
Semantic Web (DMSSW 2012). 

The huge amount of social network data available today is pushing the 
development of techniques that aim at enabling the study of complex 
relationships among the members of a social network. At the same time, 
the Resource Description Framework is an ideal and widespread 
graph-based framework to represent the semantic content of documents 
such as Web pages, blogs, tweets, and posts, and their relationships. 
We refer to the combination of the two worlds as to the Social Semantic 
Web (SSW).  The importance and amount of SSW data are impressively 
increasing and call for new data management models and tecnhiques. 

The first edition of the International Workshop on Data Management in 
the Social Semantic Web (DMSSW) follows the increasing interest in 
social networks and the Semantic Web and aims at bringing together all 
those interested in data management in this setting, fostering the 
collaboration and cross-fertilization between two related communities.
