Generating Semantic Media Wiki Content from Domain Ontologies

There is a growing interest in holistic ontology engineering approaches that involve multidisciplinary teams consisting of ontology engineers and domain experts. For the latter, who often lack ontology engineering expertise, tools such as Web forms, spreadsheet like templates or semantic wikis have been developed that hide or decrease the complexity of logical axiomatisation in expressive ontology languages. This paper describes a prototype solution for an automatic OWL ontology conversion to articles in Semantic Media Wiki system. Our implemented prototype converts a branch of an ontology rooted at the user defined class into Wiki articles and categories. The final result is defined by a template expressed in the Wiki markup language. We describe tests on two domain ontologies with different characteristics: DMOP and DMRO. The tests show that our solution can be used for fast bootstrapping of Semantic Media Wiki content from OWL files.
