Multi-synchronous Collaborative Semantic Wikis

Semantic wikis have opened an interesting way to mix Web 2.0 advantages with the Semantic Web approach. However, compared to other collaborative tools, wikis do not support all collaborative editing mode such as offline work or multi-synchronous editing. The lack of multi-synchronous supports in wikis is a problematic, especially, when working with semantic wikis. In these systems, it is often important to change multiple pages simultaneous in order to refactor the semantic wiki structure. In this paper, we present a new model of semantic wiki called Multi-Synchronous Semantic Wiki (MS2W). This model extends semantic wikis with multi-synchronous support that allows to create a P2P network of semantic wikis. Semantic wiki pages can be replicated on several semantic servers. The MS2W ensures CCI consistency on these pages relying on the Logoot algorithm.
