David Karger tweets today:
Ironically amusing that ontology researchers can’t manage to agree on a canonical tag for their conference #iswc #iswc12 #iswc2012
If that’s true for ontology researchers, what chance does the rest of the world have?
Just to help ontology researchers along a bit (in LTM syntax):
*****
/* typing topics */
[conf = "conference"]
/* scoping topics */
[SWTwiiter01 : conf = "Semantic Web, Twitter hashtag 01."]
[SWTwiiter02 : conf = "Semantic Web, Twitter hashtag 02."]
[SWTwiiter03 : conf = "Semantic Web, Twitter hashtag 03."]
[iswc2012 : conf = "ISWC 2012, The 11th International Semantic Web Conference"
("#iswc" / SWTwitter01)
("#iswc12" / SWTwitter02)
("#iswc2012" / SWTwitter03)]

I added the “conf” typing topic to the scoping topics to distinguish those tags from other for:
ISWC (International Standard Musical Work Code)
Welcome to ISWC 2013! The International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC)
Wikipedia – ISWC, also lists:
International Speed Windsurfing Class
But missed:
International Student Welcome Committee
There remains the task of distinguishing tags in the wild from tags for these other subjects.
Once that is done, all the tweets about the conference, under these or other tags, can be collocated for a full set of tweets about the conference.
Other subjects and relationships, such as person, date, location, topic, tags, retweets, etc., can be just as easily added.
Personally I would make the default sort order for Tweet a function of date/time, quite possibly mis-using sortname for that purpose. People are accustomed to seeing Tweets in time order and fancy collocation can wait until they select an author, subject, tag, etc.
