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...

Process 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...
