In this paper we discuss the collection, semantic annotation and analysis of real-time social signals from micro-blogging data.

We define an architecture that is based on state-of-the-art Semantic Web technologies and a distributed publish subscribe protocol for real time communication. In addition, we discuss our method and application in a scenario related to the health care reform in the United States.
