Makna and MultiMakna: towards semantic and multimedia capability in Wikis for the emerging Web
نویسندگان
چکیده
The merging of Wikis and the Semantic Web leads to the possibility of editable Web pages where users can create, change and store knowledge. This generated knowledge is usable to enhance the way conventional Wikis organize, retrieve and present content. However, Web-based information is increasingly non-textual. While semantic Wikis are expected to provide a powerful path to the public Semantic Web, multimedia content support is already poor in their non-semantic counterparts. This paper approaches how collaborative multimedia information management can be realised by unifying principles from Wiki, Semantic Web and multimedia research. As a result we introduce the Makna semantic Wiki and propose an extension to integrate multimedia support, entitled MultiMakna.

Extending the Makna Semantic Wiki to Support Workflows
Semantic wikis combine the advantages introduced by the wiki principle with the potential of Semantic Web technologies. However, there is still a very limited support for coordination, collaboration and integration in current semantic wikis. In this paper, we present a solution for this through the integration of our Makna semantic wiki with a workflow system. The resulting implementation is pr...
متن کاملProcess Makna - A Semantic Wiki for Scientific Workflows
Virtual e-Science infrastructures supporting Web-based scientific workflows are an example for knowledge-intensive collaborative and weakly-structured processes where the interaction with the human scientists during process execution plays a central role. In this paper we propose the lightweight dynamic user-friendly interaction with humans during execution of scientific workflows via the low-b...
متن کاملCreating and using Semantic Web information with Makna
Combining Wiki and Semantic Web technologies is considered by many members of the two communities as a promising alternative to current approaches for collaboratively creating and using information on the Web. The user-friendliness of the former as regarding multi-site content generation and the power of semantic technologies as w.r.t. organizing and retrieving knowledge are likely to complemen...
متن کاملSemantics on demand: Can a Semantic Wiki replace a knowledge base?
In the same way that Wikis have become the mechanism that has enabled groups of users to collaborate on the production of hypertexts on the web, Semantic Wikis promise a future of collaboration on the production of semantically linked and ontologically structured hypertexts. In this paper we describe our efforts to convert an existing ontologically structured web site called FREMA into a Semant...
متن کاملWhat the User Interacts With: Reflections on Conceptual Models for Semantic Wikis
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 s...
