Abstract: Today, we observe the amalgamation of the Social Web and the Mobile Web, which will ultimately lead to a Ubiquitous Web. The integration and aggregation of the different kinds of available data, and the extraction of useful knowledge and its representation has become an important challenge for researchers from the Semantic Web, Web 2.0, social network analysis and machine learning communities. We discuss the Ubiquitous Web vision, by addressing the challenge of bridging the gap between Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web, before widening the scope to mobile applications.
