Towards Scientific Collaboration in a Semantic Wiki
C. Lange. Bridging the Gep between Semantic Web and Web 2.0 (SemNet 2007), page 119-126. (2007)
Abstract
On the Web 2.0, there are numerous projects for collabora-
tively creating and using scientific knowledge in a wiki—think of the
scientific sections of Wikipedia or domain-specific platforms like Plan-
etMath. They do, however, not yet offer semantic services that could
promote collaboration both of scientific knowledge engineers and of schol-
ars or that take semantics emerged from such communities or acquired
from page contents into account.
On the other hand, there are several semantic wikis—wikis enhanced
with Semantic Web technologies. Current semantic wikis, however, only
offer rather generic semantic services, such as semantic navigation, se-
mantic-based editing assistance, and semantic search. Semantic services
tailored to scientific knowledge and its specific structures (e. g. theories
depending upon each other) are not yet provided.
Based on the argument that current semantic wikis lack scientific services
because domain-specific ontologies are not properly integrated, this article
proposes the basic architecture of a semantic wiki centered around an
ontology of scientific markup languages. Two services to be designed on
top of this ontology abstraction layer are outlined, and suggestions on
how to improve them by making them community-aware are discussed.
