Towards a Constitution Based Game for Fostering Fluency in “Semantic Web Writing”

The Semantic Web (SW) is still far from realising its full potential, partly because it is still lacking enough high quality SW representations of information. We argue that a step in the right direction is fostering people’s capability to fluently create high quality SW representations of the information they generate during problem solving processes. To foster such a capability, we propose a game in which teams compete in creating the best translations of texts into SW representations. Although playing the game is in itself already a way to foster such a capability, we moreover pursue learning from the game which are the most successful translation strategies (embodied by “constitutions”) so that they can also be used by people outside a game setting.
