A DSL for Corporate Wiki Initialization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Some wikis support virtual communities that are built around the wiki itself (e.g., Wikipedia). By contrast, corporate wikis are not created in a vacuum since the community already exists. Documentation, organigrams, etc are all there by the time the wiki is created. The wiki should then be tuned to the existing information ecosystem. That is, wiki concerns (e.g., categories, permissions) are to be in uenced by the corporate settings. So far, all wikis are created equal : empty. This paper advocates for corporate wikis to be initialized with a wiki sca olding : a wiki installation where some categories, permissions, etc, are initialized to mimic the corporate settings. Such sca olding is speci ed in terms of a Domain Speci c Language (DSL). The DSL engine is then able to turn the DSL expression into a MediaWiki installation which is ready to be populated but now, along the company settings. The DSL is provided as a FreeMind plugin, and DSL expressions are denoted as mindmaps.
