Using Semantic Wiki as a Semantic Web Workbench/Comment-1

Outline

• Motivation (Benefits of semantic wiki)

From tool builder perspective

• Fast prototyping (as oppose to Ontology Editor + Reasoner + Ontology Parser + JSP/PHP + Web Server + ...)
• Use semantic wiki as workbench to build other applications

From end user perspective

• Low learning curve for end users to generate semantic data (as oppose to Ontology Editor)
• Integration with "social web", i.e., community-based, interactive content production (as opppose to closed, highly controlled knowledge base building)

• Semantic wiki uses light-weight semantic annotation
  • by semantic form (e.g., Li Ding's page) or
  • by wiki script (e.g., Image:Winslow Building.jpg )
  • by parsing a structured (e.g., bibtex Package-based Description Logics)
• Use cases
  • Literature management (example topic: Modular Ontology)
  • Semantic Blog
  • Issue Tracker
  • Semantic Calender
