5 Conclusions




Motivation

Tom Gruber 1993 about ontologies

“formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualization”

Ontology/Knowledge engineering is a non-trivial task→ Strong need for sophisticated tools and editors

5 Conclusions





Semantic MediaWiki

extension to MediaWiki

store and query data within pages

additional markup: “semantic annotations”





Semantic MediaWiki

Main difference from MediaWiki:

Decoupling data from textual descriptions

capital city is [[Has capital::Berlin]]

population is [[Has population::82,060,000]]





Semantic MediaWiki

Automatically-generated lists

Visual display of information in calendars, timelines, graphs,maps, etc.

Inter-language consistency

External reuse of data (export to CSV, JSON and RDF)

Queries in a wiki-like syntax in edit mode,e.g.

<ask>[[Category:Actor]] [[born in::Boston]]</ask>





Semantic MediaWiki





Semantic MediaWiki Ontology Editor

SMW Ontology Editor

extension of Semantic MediaWiki

developed by STI Innsbruck

focuses on the development of lightweight ontologies(vocabularies, categories, properties and elements)

set of knowledge repair algorithms






Knowledge repair algorithms

similar to MediaWiki’s “special pages”

show categories

which are in cycleswith redundant subclass relationswith similar property setswithout subcategories

ontology elements with similar names

category statistics





myOntology

“Open ontology environment for Semantic Webbased e-Commerce”

research project by STI Innsbruck

potential of human collaboration to createontologies





myOntology

Similar techniques as MediaWiki :

automatic sharing of documents/ontologies on creation

collaborative editing

history of previous modifications (revisions)

link to a specific version of a document/ontology (permalink)

freezepoints (stable snapshots)

import/export OWL





myOntology





IkeWiki

Java-based semantic wiki engine

developed by Salzburg Research

last version (2.0) released in March 2008

not actively developed anymore





Kiwi

Kiwi = “Knowledge in a Wiki”

successor of IkeWiki

developed by Salzburg Research

version 1.0 (October 2010)





Kiwi

Content Versatility: “Same content, different views”

Kiwi core concepts

content item = human-readable + associated metadata

extended triples





Kiwi

5 Conclusions




Conclusions

only a selection (5 pages)

research prototypes and commercial applications

growth of semantic community → collaborative tools

room for improvement regarding useability and ease-of-use
