The Reasoning Web summer school series is a well-established event,
attracting experts from academia and industry as well as PhD
students interested in fo- dational and applicational aspects of
the Semantic Web. This volume contains
thelecturenotesofthefourthsummerschool, which took place in Venice,
Italy, in September 2008. This year, the school focussed on a
number of important application domains, in which semantic web
techniques have proved to be p- ticularly e?ective or promising in
tackling problems. The ?rst three chapters provide introductory
material to: - languages, formalisms, and standards adopted to
encode semantic information; - "soft" extensions that might be
useful in contexts such as multimedia or social network
applications; - controlled natural language techniques to bring
ontology authoring closer to end users. The remaining chapters
cover major application areas such as social networks, semantic
multimedia indexing and retrieval, bioinformatics, and semantic web
services.
Thepresentationshighlightedwhichtechniquesarealreadybeingsuccessfully
applied for purposes such as improving the performance of
information retrieval algorithms,
enablingtheinteroperationofheterogeneousagents, modellinguser's
pro?les and social relations, and standardizing and improving the
accuracy of very large and dynamic scienti?c databases.
Furthermore, the lectures pointed out which aspects are still
waiting for a solution,
andthepossiblerolethatsemantictechniquesmayplay, especiallythose

thatthe school'smaterialwillinspire further exciting
researchinthese areas. We are grateful to all the lecturers and
their co-authors for their excellent contributions, to the
Reasoning Web School Board, and Norbert Eisinger in particular, who
helped in several critical phases, and to the organizations that
supported this event: the University of Padua, the MOST project,
and the N- work of Excellence REWERSE.
