Semantic Wikis
IEEE, (2008)Abstract
“Semantic Wikis” combine properties of Wikis (like ease of use, collaboration, linking) with Semantic Web technology (like structured content, knowledge models in form of ontologies, reasoning). Recently, Semantic Wikis have gained considerable attention, as they connect “social intelligence” and “artificial intelligence”, support the user in ways that are not available in normal wikis, and allow an easy introduction to novel Semantic Web technologies, which are arguably still hard to grasp in other areas. The aim of this article is to give an overview over the topic “Semantic Wikis”. We give particular focus to application fields and briefly compare selected systems based on their different approaches.
