INTRODUCTION A research-practice gap exists between what is known about conducting methodologically rigorous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and what is done. Evidence consistently shows that pediatric RCTs are susceptible to high risk of bias; therefore novel methods of influencing the design and conduct of trials are required. The objective of this study was to develop and pilot test a wi...

Performance of word sense disambiguation (WSD) is one the challenging tasks in area natural language processing (NLP). Generation annotated corpus for multilingual out reach most languages even if resources are available. In this paper we propose an unsupervised method using and embedding or improving performance these systems untagged. Corpora create two bags namely ontological bag wiki to gen...

The authors are on the editorial team of Open Medicine. opment at Open Medicine: the launch of the Open Medicine wiki. The first publication to be housed on the wiki is a scoping review of studies examining the use of asynchronous telehealth 1 by Deshpande and colleagues. The interactive article allows users to log in and edit, delete or add content to the review and to look at changes other us...

Wiki technology provides new opportunities to foster collaborative learning in various educational settings. To empirically examine the impact of wikis on learning, this article explores students’ collaborative writing activities performed on MediaWiki. The activities were analyzed using a taxonomy with ten categories (clarify content, add content, delete content, add link, delete link, fix lin...

Wikis are becoming increasingly popular knowledge management systems in both software engineering research and practice. In this experience paper we explore the applicability of wikis in the software architecting process, a process which is knowledge-intensive in nature. To this end we report on our experiences with creating and using a wiki environment in the architecture department of a large...

This small-scale case study explores the challenges and potential benefits of a wiki for students and teachers in a primary-five English-language class in Hong Kong. The study examined how the wiki’s key affordances might help in scaffolding students during their collaborative writing projects. The study found that the use of a wiki in a class of primary-five students in a Chinese primary schoo...

Semantic wikis have shown to be feasible systems to enable communities to collaboratively create semantically rich content. They enable users to make the knowledge within the wiki explicit and thus accessible to the application in order to support the users in numerous ways, like improved browsing, or query answering. This also allows the wiki to automatically check the content. In this paper w...

This paper presents the results of the empirical research based on the experiences in using wiki as means of introducing collaborative activities in two different courses at the same time – an introductory eBusiness course for the first-year students, as well as the course in software engineering for students at the last year of Computer Science studies. Comparing and contrasting the results ac...

E-government webs are among the largest webs in existence, based on the size, number of users and number of information providers. Thus, creating a Semantic Web infrastructure to meaningfully organise e-government webs is highly desirable. At the same time, the complexity of the existing e-government implementations also challenges the feasibility of Semantic Web creation. We therefore propose ...

The Virtual Math Teams (VMT) project is part of an effort to investigate group cognition— the accomplishment of problem-solving and knowledge-building tasks by small groups, particularly in online, distributed contexts. The VMT environment has recently integrated a wiki component into its text chat and shared whiteboard system. The wiki component serves a number of purposes, such as summarizing...
