=== Semantic Social Profile: Issues ===
[[File:Kotra-sock-screengrab.png|thumb|500px|Baby, show your stuff!]]
The image to the right shows a [[PortlandWiki]] [[User:Kotra's sock| user account]] that had some of the data associated with it publicly unveiled after installing an early version of [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:Semantic Social Profile|Extension:Semantic Social Profile]].
The [[User:Kotra's sock|Kotra's sock]] user account (shown) is one of the [[wikipedia:Sockpuppet (Internet)|sock puppet]] accounts used by a prominent [[PortlandWiki]] [[User:Kotra|sysop]].
Like many of the other user pages that had data exposed after [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:Semantic Social Profile|SSP]] was installed, the user page for [[User:Kotra's sock|Kotra's sock]] was created for the first time upon [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:Semantic Social Profile|SSP]]'s installation.
The thumbnail shown on the right side of the user account image is the [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:SocialProfile|SocialProfile]] avatar for [[PortlandWiki]]'s [[User:WikiMaster|user one]] account. But this is this avatar image the [http://portlandwiki.org//images/avatars/portlandwiki_org_1_l.jpg?r=1311535929%C2%A0  link] shown under "Facts about Kotra's sock" for the [[Property:SSP avatar|SSP avatar]] resolves to. (Before taking the screen grab, however, we changed the email address to protect the puppet.)

SocialProfile provides a profile page to each of the wiki's account holders. It displays friendships with other users, basic profile information, and any public messages received.
Semantic Social Profile is an extension that represents social information of SocialProfile extension as semantic annotations that are stored on a user’s userpage. Thus, the extension automatically adjusts user profile data for querying with Semantic MediaWiki tools and other tools that work with semantic data on Mediawiki. Moreover, the social data is associated with well-known Semantic Web vocabularies (foaf, bio, cv) that allows you to use wiki as a foaf-editor.[2]
Semantic Social Profile relies heavily on the following extensions:
Abstract. Semantic MediaWiki proved its effectiveness as a platform for creating semantically connected hypertexts. Unfortunately, in most wiki engines, information about contributors (wiki authors) remains in shadow for human observers and is not available for program agents. Semantic Social Profile proof of concept introduces a flexible way of integration (sic) the social features of MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki annotations. In the paper we describe the extension development process and some of the use cases that will become possible with it.
Like many of the other user pages that had data exposed after SSP was installed, the user page for Kotra's sock was created for the first time upon SSP's installation.
The thumbnail shown on the right side of the user account image is the SocialProfile avatar for PortlandWiki's user one account. But this is this avatar image the link shown under "Facts about Kotra's sock" for the SSP avatar resolves to. (Before taking the screen grab, however, we changed the email address to protect the puppet.)
The idea for this extension is to "reward people contributing to an online community. In an online community social rewarding is in the majority of cases based on accentuation of the most active members."
