Abstract
Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web are approaches that target the improvement of the Web through the optimization of mechanisms for sharing information and resources. This document argues that Web 2.0 is not an immature stage of the Semantic Web but an orthogonal dimension of another Web aspect, the semantic. Unfortunately, both dimensions are not independent; the more developed a semantic representation of a system is, in order to be more useful for the Semantic Web, the more distant it is to the Web 2.0. A semantic system highly formalized is less intuitive and less usable by users. For that reason, with the intention of avoiding the inverse relation between both dimensions, eight proposals are positioned and discussed in order to enable a real Social Semantic Web.
