    The 1st Social Data on the Web workshop (SDoW2008), co-located with the
7th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2008), aims to bring together
researchers, developers and practitioners involved in semantically-enhancing so-
cial media websites, as well as academics researching more formal aspect of these
interactions between the Semantic Web and Social Media.
    Since its first steps in 2001, many research issues have been tackled by the
Semantic Web community such as data formalism for knowledge representation,
data querying and scalability, or reasoning and inferencing. More recently, Web
2.0 offered new perspectives regarding information sharing, annotation, and so-
cial networking on the Web. It opens new research areas for the Semantic Web
which has an important role to play to lead to the emergence of a Social Seman-
tic Web that should provide novel services to end-users, combining the best of
both Semantic Web and Web 2.0 worlds. To achieve this goal, various tasks and
features are needed from data modeling and lightweight ontologies, to knowledge
and social networks portability as well as ways to interlink data between Social
Media websites, leveraging proprietary data silos to a Giant Global Graph.
    This volume includes the papers presented at the 1st Social Data on the
Web workshop (SDoW2008), co- located with the 7th International Semantic
Web Conference (ISWC2008), in Karlsruhe, Germany, October 27th, 2008.
