Semantic Wiki

A semantic wiki is a wiki that has a model of the knowledge stored in it.

Non-semantic wikis contain structured text and untyped hyperlinks . Semantic wikis make it possible to record knowledge about pages ( metadata ) and their relationships. The knowledge base of a semantic wiki is usually implemented in a formal language so that machines can process it at least partially automatically. The technologies from the field of the Semantic Web form the basis for automatic conclusions in the knowledge base.

In particular, algorithms can derive new knowledge (e.g. additional relations between pages) from the existing facts.

Common properties

Common properties are

• Annotated links and pages
• Extended search and browse options that use the annotations

Semantic wiki software

• Semantic MediaWiki (extension of the MediaWiki known from Wikipedia ; project of the Institute for Applied Computer Science and Formal Description Methods at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, etc.)
• KiWi ("Knowledge in a WiKi" - Java Enterprise -based platform for semantic social software, especially wikis; successor to IkeWiki ; project by Salzburg Research and others)
• OntoWiki (editor inspired by Wiki ideas for agile and distributed collaboration on ontologies ; project of the University of Leipzig )
• AceWiki (semantic wiki based on the controlled language Attempto Controlled English , project of the University of Zurich )
• BOWiki (extension to MediaWiki with the possibility of checking semantic knowledge added on the basis of an ontology for consistency using a prover )
• KnowWE ("Knowledge Wiki Environment", expandable Wiki with knowledge for solving problems)
• Tiki - formerly a conventional wiki, now with semantic web support
• ArtificialMemory - Multilingual Semantic Wiki and Argumentation Tool
