Organization committee • Elena Simperl, AIFB, KIT, Germany • Devika P. Madalli, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore, India • Denny Vrandecic, AIFB, KIT, Germany • Enrique Alfonseca, Google Zurich, Switzerland Programm Committee DiversiWeb 2011,1 the First International Workshop on Knowledge Diversity on the Web, co-located with WWW2011 in Hyderabad, India, provided an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their ideas related to the challenges posed by diversity on the Web. We addressed a wide array of interdisciplinary questions, which need to be tackled in order to preserve the fragile balance between a world that is continually converging and growing together, the rich diversity of the global society, and the dangers of fragmentation and splintering.
The workshop was partially funded by EU ICT FP7 projects RENDER2 and Living Knowledge3. We thank all authors for submitting to DiversiWeb 2011, the program committee for the indispensable help in the selection process for the workshop program, and VideoLectures.net for recording the workshop4.
