Abstract
An analysis of the proceedings of the first decade of the WEBIST conference, in terms of social networking and statistical analyses, as well as bibliometrics, unearthed information regarding existing patterns in the prevalent themes and topics of the conference, shedding light on the development of the event and its community as they grew and matured. In addition to the findings of this analysis we present a queriable Web-based application, which draws from a dataset of RDF triples, enabling the recreation of the examined patterns and the further exploration of the proceedings data.
