KnowWE – A Wiki for Knowledge Base Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of knowledge systems has been driven by changing approaches, starting with special purpose languages in the 1960s that evolved later to dedicated editors and environments. Nowadays, tools for the collaborative creation and maintenance of knowledge became attractive. Such tools allow for the work on knowledge even for distributed panels of experts and for knowledge at different formalization levels. The paper (tool presentation) introduces the semantic wiki KnowWE, a collaborative platform for the acquisition and use of different types of knowledge, ranging from semantically annotated text to strong problem-solving knowledge. We also report on some current use cases of KnowWE.

An Ontology Debugger for the Semantic Wiki KnowWE (Tool Presentation)
KnowWE is a semantic wiki that provides the possibility to define and maintain ontologies and strong problem-solving knowledge. Recently, the ontology engineering capabilities of KnowWE were significantly extended. As with other ontology engineering tools, the support of ontology debugging during the development of ontologies is the deficient. We present an Ontology Debugger for KnowWE that is ...
متن کاملImplementing an Automated Ventilation Guideline Using the Semantic Wiki KnowWE
In this paper, we report on the experiences made during the implementation of a therapeutic process, i.e. a guideline, for automated mechanical ventilation of patients in intensive care units. The semantic wiki KnowWE was used as a collaborative development platform for domain specialists, knowledge and software engineers, and reviewers. We applied the graphical guideline language DiaFlux to re...

متن کاملA Semantic Wiki for the Engineering of Diagnostic Guideline Knowledge
This paper presents a wiki environment for the modelling of Computer Interpretable Guidelines (CIGs) using the graphical language DiaFlux. We describe a wiki-driven development process using a stepwise formalization and allowing for almost self-acquisition by the domain specialists. The applicability of the approach is demonstrated by a project developing a guideline for sepsis diagnosis and tr...
متن کاملEngineering on the Knowledge Formalization Continuum
Usually, domain knowledge is available at different levels of formality, for example such as documents, data bases, and (business) rules. We argue, that today’s systems limit the knowledge engineering process to a fixed level of formality and expressiveness, respectively, and that these limitations hinder effective knowledge acquisition and use. In consequence, we introduce the knowledge formal...
