@article{BuffaGandonEtAl08jws, abstract = {Everyone agrees that user interactions and social networks are among the cornerstones of Web 2.0. Web 2.0 applications generally run in a web browser, propose dynamic content with rich user interfaces, offer means to easily add or edit content of the web site they belong to and present social network aspects. Well-known applications that have helped spread Web 2.0 are blogs, wikis, and image/video sharing sites; they have dramatically increased sharing and participation among web users. It is possible to build knowledge using tools that can help analyze users’ behavior behind the scenes: what they do, what they know, what they want. Tools that help share this knowledge across a network, and that can reason on that knowledge, will lead to users who can better use the knowledge available, i.e., to smarter users. Wikipedia, a wildly successful example of web technology, has helped knowledge-sharing between people by letting individuals freely create and modify its content. But Wikipedia is designed for people---today's software cannot understand and reason on Wikipedia's content. In parallel, the semantic web, a set of technologies that help knowledge-sharing across the web between different applications, is starting to gain attraction. Researchers have only recently started working on the concept of a semantic wiki, mixing the advantages of the wiki and the technologies of the semantic web. In this paper we will present a state-of-the-art of semantic wikis, and we will introduce SweetWiki, an example of an application reconciling two trends of the future web: a semantically augmented web and a web of social applications where every user is an active provider as well as a consumer of information. SweetWiki makes heavy use of semantic web concepts and languages, and demonstrates how the use of such paradigms can improve navigation, search, and usability.}, added-at = {2010-10-29T17:01:53.000+0200}, author = {Buffa, Michel and Gandon, Fabien and Ereteo, Guillaume and Sander, Peter and Faron, Catherine}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2535799ca036857535cfcebe5717cee1d/flint63}, doi = {10.1016/j.websem.2007.11.003}, file = {ScienceDirect:2008/BuffaGandonEtAl08jws.pdf:PDF}, interhash = {d5053388e2dd867670b437843c5e9713}, intrahash = {535799ca036857535cfcebe5717cee1d}, issn = {1570-8268}, journal = {Web Semantics}, keywords = {software ai knowledge v1010 paper community data processing semantic web wiki management}, number = 1, pages = {84-97}, timestamp = {2010-10-29T17:01:53.000+0200}, title = {{SweetWiki:} A Semantic Wiki}, volume = 6, year = 2008 }
