This workshop focuses on the impact of YouTube and Web 2.0 on the 2008 election cycle in the United States. It brings together scholar in Political Science, Computer Science, and related disciplines to examine this topic. At this time, most work concerning the impact of the web on politics is of an anecdotal matter. There does not exist agreed upon standards on how to approach this topic. One of the purposes of this workshop is to serve as a catalyst to develop baseline measures, metrics, integrative tools, and uniform repositories to facilitate the study of the impact of Web 2.0 on politics in a coherent manner. It will also serve to develop new teams and networks of scholars working on projects involving this subject matter.In addition, the research presented at and resulting from this workshop will demonstrate new technical and analytic opportunities and highlight where there is a need for more focusesd research and tool development. The results of the workshop might also be of interest to practioners.

本工作坊聚焦于YouTube和web2.0对2008年美国选举周期的影响。它汇集了政治学、计算机科学和相关学科的学者来研究这个主题。目前，大多数关于网络对政治影响的研究都是道听途说。关于如何处理这个问题，目前还没有商定的标准。本次研讨会的目的之一是促进基线度量、指标、集成工具和统一存储库的开发，以促进以一致的方式研究Web 2.0对政治的影响。它还将有助于发展从事涉及这一主题的项目的学者的新团队和网络。此外，本次研讨会上提出的研究成果将展示新的技术和分析机会，并强调需要更多重点研究和工具开发的地方。讲习班的成果也可能引起从业人员的兴趣。
