Wiki is well-known content management systems. Semantic wikis extends the classical wikis with semantic annotations that made its contents more structured. Tabular representations of information have a considerable value, especially in wikis which are rich in content and contain large amount of information. For this reason, we propose an approach for automatically generating tables for represen...

This paper presents the argument that the use of wikis in a learning environment involves a different way of thinking, learning and knowing than perhaps many practitioners are familiar with. In particular, wikis foster collaborative, egalitarian learning that is designed to foster group interaction instead of just individual performance. Moreover, wiki based learning involves community ideals a...

Due to their low entry barrier, easy deployment, and simple yet powerful features, wikis have gained popularity for agile knowledge management in communities of almost all sizes. Semantic wikis strive to give entered information more structure in order to allow automatic processing of the wiki’s contents. This facilitates enhanced navigation and search in the wiki itself as well as simple reuse...

Wikis provide new possibilities for collaborative knowledge building with artifacts. This paper presents a theoretical framework for describing and understanding the processes which lead to collaborative knowledge building. The model borrows from the systemic approach of Luhmann as well as from Piaget’s theory of equilibration. It describes people’s learning activities as processes of externali...

Organizations are challenged with rapidly changing business requirements and an ever-increasing volume respectively variety of information. Enterprise Architecture (EA) and its respective management function are considered as means to overcome these challenges. Appropriate tool support to this end is an elementary success factor to guide the EA management (EAM) initiative. Nevertheless, practit...

It has been almost four decades since the idea of software reuse was proposed. Many success stories have been told, yet it is believed that software reuse is still in the development phase and has not reached its full potential. How far are we with software reuse research? What have we learned from previous software reuse efforts? This paper is an attempt to answer these questions and propose a...

A number of approaches have been developed for combining wikis with semantic technologies. Many semantic wikis focus on enabling users to specify properties and relationships of individual elements. Complex schema information is typically not edited by the wiki user. Nevertheless, semantic wikis could benefit from taking existing schema information into account, and to allow users to specify ad...

Spatial Hypertext Wiki (ShyWiki) is a wiki which represents knowledge using notes that are spatially distributed in wiki pages and have visual characteristics such as colour, size, or font type. The use of spatial and visual characteristics in wikis is important to improve human comprehension, creation and organization of knowledge. Another important capability in wikis is to allow machines to ...

Sharing and organizing content using corporate wikis remains prohibitively costly for most knowledge workers in organizations. This problem has led to low adoption rates, compromising the utility of such tools. To reduce these costs and increase the benefits we introduce two proof-ofconcept prototypes. We characterize the lifecycle of production and consumption of shared knowledge in a communit...

Contemporary and near-future military coalition environments present a number of challenges for military planning. Not only must military planners create plans against a backdrop of strict time constraints and uncertain information, they must also coordinate their planning efforts with other planning staff (often from different organizational, linguistic and cultural communities). This paper ex...
