The book explores the integration of human and machine-driven computation in semantic content authoring, addressing the scarcity of useful human contributions. It emphasizes the importance of understanding user behavior and incentives from social sciences and economics to enhance participation. A proposed methodology aims to guide software designers in embedding incentive-driven features into applications. Through various case studies, it highlights design considerations for incentivized Semantic Web applications, focusing on task suitability, knowledge domains, and mechanisms for ensuring quality contributions.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Formal Ontologies Meet Industries Workshop held in Berlin, Germany, in August 2015. The 11 full research papers accepted for FOMI 2015 were selected from 18 submissions. The papers focus on theoretical studies of formal ontologies committed to provide a sound basis for industrial applications and to allow formal representation of corporate knowledge, and on business experiences in case studies that single out concrete problems and possible solutions in the creation and deployment of formal ontologies. Overall, they provide valuable insights into the current state of progress in supporting industrial information and knowledge sharing through the development of formal ontologies.
