*Metaknowledge Workshop at SocInfo, the 6th International Conference on Social Informatics ** (www.socinfo2014.org <http://www.socinfo2014.org/>)* View Full CFP: http://tinyurl.com/oqe9ltf TOPIC The deluge of socially relevant data flowing from online and other sources forcefully reminds us that knowledge does not arise from simple accumulation of information. Information must be found, organized, evaluated, and synthesized if it is to become knowledge, be it scientific consensus, political certainty or gossip. For knowledge to grow efficiently, and for us to even understand what modern certainties represent, we need a deeper understanding of these processes: we need knowledge about knowledge, or metaknowledge. Scholars have begun to investigate such questions in disparate settings, for example “science of science” and “science studies” in the social sciences, and “wisdom of crowds” and “ontologies” in computational fields. THEMES The Metaknowledge Workshop will bring together computational and social scientists working to understand the processes of knowledge creation in a variety of fields. Some specific themes we envision being represented are: - models and assessments of scientific and every-day knowledge-making - folksonomies and expert ontologies - evaluation of knowledge claims - social structure and outcomes of knowledge-making groups - diffusion and consensus-making in ad-hoc communities like Twitter and Wikipedia - methods of improving the speed and quality of knowledge-making processes DATES - *Full paper submission: September 5, 2014* - Notification of acceptance: September 26, 2014 - Camera-ready due: October 8, 2014 - Conference dates: November 10-13, 2014 Authors of accepted submissions may choose to have their submission published in the conference proceedings published by Springer. *View Full CFP: http://tinyurl.com/oqe9ltf <http://tinyurl.com/oqe9ltf> *
