چکیده

The content and structure of a wiki evolve as a result of the collaborative e ort of the wiki users. In semantic wikis, this also results in the evolution of the ontology that is implicitly expressed through the semantic annotations. Without proper guidance, the semantic wiki can evolve in a chaotic manner resulting in quality problems in the underlying ontology, e.g. inconsistencies. As the wiki grows in size, the detection and solution of quality problems become more di cult. We propose an approach to detect quality problems in semantic wikis and assist users in the process of solving them. Our approach is inspired by the key principles of software refactoring, namely the cataloging and automated detection of quality problems (bad smells), and the application of quality improvement transformations (refactorings). In this paper we discuss the problem of evolving semantic wikis, present the core model of our approach, and introduce an extensible catalog of semantic wiki bad smells and an extensible toolkit of semantic wiki refactorings.

Multi-synchronous Collaborative Semantic Wikis

Semantic wikis have opened an interesting way to mix Web 2.0 advantages with the Semantic Web approach. However, compared to other collaborative tools, wikis do not support all collaborative editing mode such as offline work or multi-synchronous editing. The lack of multi-synchronous supports in wikis is a problematic, especially, when working with semantic wikis. In these systems, it is often ...

Mining for Reengineering: An Application to Semantic Wikis Using Formal and Relational Concept Analysis

Semantic wikis enable collaboration between human agents for creating knowledge systems. In this way, data embedded in semantic wikis can be mined and the resulting knowledge patterns can be reused to extend and improve the structure of wikis. This paper proposes a method for guiding the reengineering and improving the structure of a semantic wiki. This method suggests the creation of categorie...

Unifying Semantic Wikis and Semantic Web Applications

Many Semantic Wiki Engines have been developed in response to a semi-structured domain of application. Nevertheless these engines take very few advantages of the structured model on their viewing and editing interfaces. In this paper we present HyperDEWiki implementation where we combine Semantic Wiki and model-based Semantic Web Application allowing specialized interfaces and navigation. The t...
