In this poster, we concisely summarize and present our recent results of an empirical study of using Wiki in a freshman-level English as a second language (ESL) course in Taiwan. In this study, we faithfully reflect the scenario of students’ usage on the Wiki website and learning achievements in a real ESL course. A significant, but inverse, relation between students’ editing usage and academic...

Scholarly publishing and citation practices have developed largely in the absence of versioned documents. The digital age requires new practices to combine the old and the new. We describe how the original published source and a versioned wiki page based on it can be reconciled and combined into a single citation reference. We illustrate the citation mechanism by way of practical examples focus...

The current paper discuses the potential use of Wiki as an environment for the formation of student models during distance education sessions. The idea of student models is not novel, rather their benefits in distance education. Wiki has already been used in a number of Education scenarios and projects, either as an authoring or a teaching tool. The paper discusses the appropriateness of Wiki t...

In this paper, success factors for wiki based information systems in organizations are discussed. Based on information system success factors which have been discussed in previous research, this study will present the conceptual framework of how to predict knowledge work intention on using a wiki based information system and what the wiki based information system’s success factors are by studyi...

A simple application program interface (API) for Java programs running on a wiki is implemented experimentally. A Java program with the API can be running on a wiki, and the Java program can save its data on the wiki. The Java program consists of PukiWiki, which is a popular wiki in Japan, and a plug-in, which starts up Java programs and classes of Java. A Java applet with default access privil...

A [Wang tile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_tile) is a square tile such that each of its edges colored. The plane can be _tiled_ with set Wang tiles if contained in the placed without rotations and reflections whole covered colors their match at adjacent tiles. were introduced by [Wang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hao_Wang_(academic)) 1961 to study decidability mathematical logic, they a...

Setup in January 2009 the Brede Wiki contains data from neuroscience, particularly from published neuroimaging peer-reviewed papers. Data is stored in simple MediaWiki templates and it can automatically be extracted and represented in an SQL format. Off-wiki Web-scripts can use the SQL database so items in the wiki can be queried efficiently, e.g., to find close brain activations to a given coo...

In this paper, we propose to combine the advantages of semantic wikis and P2P wikis in order to design a peer-to-peer semantic wiki. The main challenge is how to merge wiki pages that embed semantic annotations. Merging algorithms used in P2P wiki systems have been designed for linear text and not for semantic data. In this paper, we evaluate two optimistic replication algorithms to build a P2P...
