What the User Interacts With: Reflections on Conceptual Models for Semantic Wikis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditional wikis excel in collaborative work on emerging content and structure. Semantic Wikis go further by allowing users to expose knowledge in ways suitable for machine processing, e.g. using Semantic Web technologies. The combination of ease of use, support for work in progress and Semantic Web technologies makes Semantic Wikis particularly interesting for knowledge-intensive work areas such as project management and software development. While several Semantic Wikis have been put to practical use, the concepts their users interact with have been little discussed. This position paper explores this issue, showing that the design of a conceptual model is not trivial and showing the repercussions of each design choice. The issue is explored stressing the social aspect of Semantic Wikis.

Use of Semantic Similarity and Web Usage Mining to Alleviate the Drawbacks of User-Based Collaborative Filtering Recommender Systems
One of the most famous methods for recommendation is user-based Collaborative Filtering (CF). This system compares active user’s items rating with historical rating records of other users to find similar users and recommending items which seems interesting to these similar users and have not been rated by the active user. As a way of computing recommendations, the ultimate goal of the user-ba...
متن کاملPersonal Navigation in Semantic Wikis
In this paper, we propose a personal navigation approach to Semantic Wikis. In semantic wikis, wikis pages are annotated with semantic data to facilitate research and navigation. The navigation is collaborative designed and shared by every user. However, individuals involved in a collaborative knowledge building activity need to customize the navigation according to her personal needs. In order...

This paper deals with information extraction technologies supporting semantic annotation and logical organization of textual content in semantic wikis. We describe our work in the context of the KiWi project which aims at developing a new knowledge management system motivated by the wiki way of collaborative content creation that is enhanced by the semantic web technology. The specific characte...
متن کاملReusing Ontological Background Knowledge in Semantic Wikis
A number of approaches have been developed for combining wikis with semantic technologies. Many semantic wikis focus on enabling users to specify properties and relationships of individual elements. Complex schema information is typically not edited by the wiki user. Nevertheless, semantic wikis could benefit from taking existing schema information into account, and to allow users to specify ad...
متن کاملThinking Semantic Wikis as Learning Object Repositories
Wikis have been extensively adopted in educational contexts becoming repositories of potentially reusable, self-contained learning units (commonly known as learning objects). Unfortunately, wikis lack of the packaging and metadata facilities that are needed to enable effective reuse of these units. In this article we propose an approach to use semantic wikis as learning object repositories, we ...
