Abstract
As well as content, many third parties are producing application widgets that can be added by users to their social website profiles, but mechanisms for trusting the source of these widgets can be improved or augmented with information derived from social network connections. We shall give an over-view of how lightweight semantics can be added to software descriptions and how these semantics can be linked to the other efforts that we describe in this book. We shall hence how social networking properties can be taken into account when retrieving project descriptions or when trying to trust or not if some widget or particular project should be used on the Web.
