iMapping Wikis -- Towards a Graphical Environment for Semantic Knowledge
Management
H. Haller, F. Kugel, and M. Völkel. Proceedings of the First Workshop on Semantic Wikis -- From Wiki, ESWC2006, (June 2006)
Abstract
iMapping is a visual technique for structuring information
objects. It is based on research in the fields of visual mapping
techniques,
Information Visualisation and cognitive psychology. iMapping
uses a Zooming User Interface to facilitate navigation and to help
users
maintain an overview in the knowledge space. An iMap is comparable
to a large whiteboard where wiki-pages can be positioned like post-its
but also nested into each other. Augmenting Wikis by providing spatial
browsing and zooming facilities makes it easier to structure content
in
an intuitive way. Especially semantic wikis, which typically contain
more
fine-grained content, and stress the structure between information
items,
can benefit from a graphical approach like iMapping, that allows
to display
multiple such items and multiple wiki-pages in one view. This paper
describes the iMapping approach in general, and briefly how it will
be
applied as a rich client front-end to the SemWiki engine.
