Fourth Workshop on Semantic Wikis "The Semantic Wiki Web" [SemWiki2009] co-located with ESWC 2009, Heraklion, Crete

Supported by the EU Project KiWi - Knowledge in a Wiki (http://www.kiwi-project.eu)


Goals and Motivation

Wikis are a major success of Web 2.0. They are used for a large number of purposes, such as encyclopedias, project documentation, and coordination, both in open communities and in enterprises. Wikis have demonstrated how it is possible to transform a community of strangers into a community of collaborators. By integrating Semantic Web technologies, semantic wikis one the one hand allow this new community of contributors to produce formalized knowledge readable by machines and on the other hand support the users in ways ordinary wikis are not capable of, e.g. by personalisation, integration with other services, and reasoning. Authoring and usage of informal and formal data take place in the same system, leading to instant gratification. Some systems simply tag existing wiki content, others are full-fledged ontology editors, but the majority covers the large scale between informal and fully formalized content, guiding users from informal knowledge contained in texts to more formal structures.

Semantic wikis are a very promising way to establish a partnership between human and automated collaborators, creating communities for collaborative knowledge building and sharing. Some important steps have already been achieved with systems that are already adopted outside of the original Semantic Web community. Semantic wikis are thus even now a major success story of the Semantic Web and a reference that combines the advantage of Web 2.0 and the Web of data and have the potential to significantly contribute to the adoption of semantic technologies throughout the Web.

The goal of this workshop is to study how interactions within a semantic wiki between humans and between humans and machines can help both parties to collaboratively produce and share knowledge that is usable for human and computers. As semantic wikis contain many of the core Semantic Web challenges in an integrated fashion, we are also concerned about contributing results obtained in semantic wiki "petri dishes" to the overall Semantic Web effort.


Workshop Audience and Topics

We want to bring together researchers and practitioners active in the development and application of traditional and semantic wiki systems, as well as researchers interested in knowledge acquisition in general and in computer supported cooperative work. This includes researchers working on semantic portals, personal and enterprise knowledge management systems and ontology authoring. We address researchers working on (but not limited to):

  • Applications of semantic wikis in
    • e-science and e-learning
    • software and knowledge engineering
    • enterprise workflows and knowledge management
    • personal knowledge management
    • ... and other fields
  • Integration and reuse of semantic wikis or (semantic) wiki content:
    • integrations with other semantic applications; mashups
    • wikis and Linked Open Data; scaling wikis to the web
    • giving semantics to non-semantic wikis (e.g. Wikipedia)
    • reusing semantics gained from wikis (e.g. DBpedia)
  • Human and social factors of semantic wikis
    • usability studies, empirical studies, analyses of semantic wiki contributors and their contributions
    • overcoming entrance barriers, giving incentives for contributing
    • connecting knowledge and social interaction
    • community building
  • Knowledge representation and reasoning in semantic wikis
    • combining formal and informal knowledge, transforming informal to formal knowledge, making formal knowledge accessible
    • coping with inconsistencies
    • change management, truth maintenance, versioning, and undoing semantic changes
    • utilizing emerging knowledge models
    • semantic wikis for rapid prototyping of schema-driven applications
    • collaborative ontology engineering with wikis
  • Technologies for semantic wikis
    • privacy: permissions, trust, licensing, access control
    • browsing, navigating, visualizing semantically enhanced linked data
    • distributed semantic wikis: offline/distributed/real-time/multi-synchronous editing
    • innovative plugins and extensions for existing systems (e.g. Semantic MediaWiki)
