Semantic wikis are successfully used in various application domains. Such systems combine the exible and agile authoring process with strong semantics of ontologies. The current state of the art of systems, however, is diverse in the sense of having a common ground. Especially, the expressiveness of the knowledge representation of semantic wikis undergoes continuous improvement. In the paper, t...

Collaborative ontology building requires both knowledge integration and knowledge reconciliation. Wiki@nt is an ontology building environment that supports collaborative ontology development. Wiki@nt is based on OSHOQP(D), an extension to SHOQ(D) with O (partial order on axioms) and P (localized axioms in package ) constructors. Wiki@nt supports integration and reconciliation of multiple indepe...

Self-organized reuse of artifacts from software and system development, using the lightweight Wiki-Technology, promises a sustainable preservation and availability of business-critical information. However, due to the organic, sometimes chaotic growth of content inside a Wiki, additional support for structuring the knowledge and finding interrelated useful content is needed. The enhancement of ...

This study investigates how a shared workspace and digital repository might help student teams share information and resources while learning to design. An open-source groupware product called TikiWiki was configured so that teams could structure their design resources using wiki pages (like web pages) and share them using two search strategies – browsing the wiki pages or using keywords. The r...

A manufacturing feature can be defined simply as a geometric shape and its manufacturing information to create the shape. In a feature-based process planning system, feature library that consists of pre-defined manufacturing features and the manufacturing information to create the shape of the features, plays an important role in the extraction of manufacturing features with their proper manufa...

An isothermal process [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isothermal_process] is one which occurs at a constant temperature. In order for such a process to occur there should be a heat reservoir [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_reservoir], a large body in thermal contact with the system which has a temperature that will not significantly change as heat is exchanged with it. We will consider a quasi...

This paper introduces the notion of map-based wiki, a wiki that allows users to interact with each other and with information through a digital map. The map, either geographic or conceptual, becomes a medium for creating knowledge through digital annotations. Annotations may be multimodal. Audio or icon notes set the mood for perceiving map space, while text or graphic notes create information ...

This paper proposes a collaborative approach to aspects of IT service management (ITSM) for agile information technology landscapes composed of technically knowledgeable users and fast changing requirements. The cost-intensive and timeconsuming tasks of building and maintaining a configuration management database (CMDB) are accomplished in a distributed, collaborative way in a semantic wiki in ...

Self-organised collaborative wiki work is reality in today’s businesses and students have to be prepared for the resulting requirements. Therefore, the aim of our paper is to demonstrate and to evaluate a way to practice self-organised and loosely coordinated wiki work in higher education. We simulate a common enterprise 2.0 collaboration situation to convey competences in a graduate-level clas...

In this paper, we discuss how modern intelligence information management can be enhanced by using wiki and semantic web technology concepts, and how the fusion of these concepts, the semantic wiki, could be beneficial in helping decision-makers achieve situational awareness. The Semantic MilWiki, a semantic wiki prototype developed at the Swedish Defence Research Agency, is described, as well a...
