Preface The World Wide Web has been very successful inenabling information sharing among a seemingly unlimited number of people worldwide. The vast and ever-growing amount of documentsonthe Web, however, results in informationoverlo ad and makes discoveryof relevant information difficult because the current Web isasyntactic web. The goal ofthe Semantic Web is thus to provide the basis for intelligent applications that enable more efficient information retrieval and use by not just providing a set of linked documents but acollectionofknowledge repositories with meaningful content and additional logics. The key elements of the Semantic Web are ontologies representing the basic conceptual knowledge about some domain. Ontologies are not fixed specifications but always depend on the context ofuse and thus co-evolve with their communities ofuse. Members of a community have to negotiate continuously about what they agree to be their shared background. This is especially important in an (inter-)organisational context, where participants from different professional, social, or cultural backgrounds need to understand each other in order to collaborate effectively. In order to enable the use of the Web for communicating, agreeing upon, and cooperatively modifying ontologies, the support provided by the Semantic Web needs tobeextended. The cruc ial questions are first how to model and analyze collaboration, context, organizational commitments, and meaning negotiation; second, how to use these conceptual models in the design and implementationofreal-world toolsand applications. This new paradigm for effectively exploring and exploiting the potentials of the Web is called the Pragmatic Web. It constitutes the new challenge that will complement the Semantic Web. The goal is to augment human collaboration effectively by modelling and developing appropriate applications of the Semantic Web, such as systems for ontology negotiations or for ontology-based business interactions. The First International Pragmatic Web Conference (PragWeb 2006) was held at the UniversityofHohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany in September 2006. The proceedings show the wide variety ofapproaches contributing to the Pragmatic Web research agenda. They include the best 13 research papers selected in a double-blind review process and the invited industrial track paper. With the help of the programme committee members,we have succeeded in bringing together the leading researchers of this new discipline. The contributions cover Pragmatic Web theory, conceptual models and systems design, applicationscenarios aswell asevaluation researchapproaches. We would like to thank the PC members as well as the members of the organising committee for their support and commitment. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support from the GI SIG Electronic Commerce (WI-EC) and the Research Centre for Innovationand Services(FZID) athohenheim University.
