********************************************************************
*Workshop on Social Data Analysis
*http://researchweb.watson.ibm.com/visual/social_data_analysis_workshop/
CHI 2008
April 6th, Florence, Italy
www.chi2008.org
*******************************************************************

This workshop addresses a new online phenomenon: social data analysis, 
that is, collective analysis of data supported by social interaction.

In the last few months a new class of web site has emerged that enables 
users to upload and collectively analyze many types of data. These 
systems range from pure research projects to commercial business 
ventures. Sites like Many Eyes, Swivel and Data360 have attracted 
visualization fans, data geeks, journalists, scientists, and concerned 
citizens. The blogosphere has also taken notice, and bloggers frequently 
post about the ways in which they use these sites, the visualizations 
they create, and the data they upload.

The goals of this workshop are to:
 1) Bring together, for the first time, the social data analysis community
 2) Examine the design of social data analysis sites today
 3) Discuss the role that visualizations play in social data analysis
 4) Explore how users are utilizing the various sites that allow them to 
exchange data-based insights.

We seek researchers and practitioners whose work explores social data 
analysis and/or social uses of visualizations. We hope for a lively mix 
of people actively involved in building sites and academics who study 
the dynamics of social software.

Submitting:
Individuals interested in participating should submit a 2-4 page 
position paper describing experience with a social data analysis 
initiative, a proposed initiative, or an analysis of an issue of 
importance in this area.

Submission deadline: October 3, 2007

Papers should conform to the CHI 2008 Extended Abstracts format and 
should be emailed to:
