【 摘 要 】

The advent of Medicine 2.0 is increasingly making the Web a more accepted source of information for the medical domain and is also exploited for discussing medical problems and treatments. Health organizations monitor online news repositories and web pages for relevant data on epidemiological events. Physicians learn about the experiences of their colleagues provided through social media platforms such as weblogs, or forums. Moreover, patients can not only search for information, but also provide information about their experiences. This workshop is devoted to the technologies for dealing with social- and multi media for medical information gathering and exchange. It provides therefore an extension towards Web Science in general by focusing on one specific application domain, which is medicine. This area is very relevant for current research as well as the research community, government and industry. [First Paragraph]
