Abstract

The era of social web has been growing tremendously over the web. Users are getting allured towards new paradigms tools and services of social web. The amount of information available on social web is produced by sharing of beliefs, reviews and knowledge by various online communities. Interoperability and portability of social data are one of the major bottlenecks of social network applications like Facebook, Twitter, Flicker and many more. In order to represent and integrate social information explicitly and efficiently, it is mandatory to enrich social information with the power of semantics. The paper is categorized into following sections. Section 2 describes various studies conducted in context of social semantic web. Section 3 makes readers aware of concept of social web and various issues associated with it. Section 4 describes use of ontologies in achieving interoperability between social and semantic web. Section 5 concludes the giver paper.
