Elena Paslaru Bontas Simperl, Devika P. Madalli, Denny Vrandecic, Enrique Alfonseca

Abstract: The workshop provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their ideas related to the challenges posed by diversity on the Web. We address a wide array of interdisciplinary questions, which need to be tackled in order to preserve the fragile balance between a world that is continually converging and growing together, the rich diversity of the global society, and the dangers of fragmentation and splintering.
