Reasoning in Semantic Wikis

چکیده
Semantic wikis combine the collaborative environment of a classical wiki with features of semantic technologies. Semantic data is used to structure information in the wiki, to improve information access by intelligent search and navigation, and to enable knowledge exchange across applications. Though semantic wikis hardly support complex semantic knowledge and inferencing, we argue that this is not due to a lack of practical use cases. We discuss various tasks for which advanced reasoning is desirable, and identify open challenges for the development of inferencing tools and formalisms. Our goal is to outline concrete options for overcoming current problems, since we believe that many problems in semantic wikis are prototypical for other Semantic Web applications as well. Throughout the paper, we refer to our semantic wiki implementations IkeWiki and Semantic MediaWiki for practical illustration.

متن کاملValidation through Reasoning in Semantic Wikis
Semantic wikis enhance normal wikis with typed links. Every link on a semantic wiki page has a type describing the relation of the current page to the target of the link. In this paper we propose an architecture that can be used to validate the user input and consistency of typed links in the input with the existing knowledge base. The validation of the consistency is done by utilising a reason...
متن کاملCollective Knowledge Engineering with Semantic Wikis
In the paper application of semantic wikis as knowledge engineering tool in a collaborative environment is considered. Selected aspects of semantic wikis are discussed. The main apparent limitation of existing semantic wikis is the lack of expressive knowledge representation mechanism. Building a knowledge base with a semantic wiki becomes complicated because of its collective nature, where num...
