So What is a WikiSo What is a Wiki
By Wikipediandash A wiki (pronounced w kiˈ ɪ WIK-ee) is a website that allows the
easy[1] creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor[2][3] Wikis are typically powered by wiki software and are often used to createcollaborative websites to power community websites for personal note taking in corporate intranets and in knowledge management systems
14
What Wiki Really Is aboutWhat Wiki Really Is about
Quick ndash from idea to resultndash no need of extra software
Easy ndash Mass participation
Collaborative Community Authoringndash Notification (Watch)
Version Control

A Key Feature of WikiA Key Feature of Wiki
Consensus
This distinguishes wikis from other publication tools
Consensus in Wikis Comes fromConsensus in Wikis Comes from
Collaborationndash ~17 editspage on average in
Wikipedia (with high variance)ndash Wikipediarsquos Neutral Point of View
Conventionndash Users follow customs and
conventions to engage with articles effectively
Software Support Makes Wikis SuccessfulSoftware Support Makes Wikis Successful
Trivial to edit by anyone Tracking of all changes one-
step rollback Every article has a ldquoTalkrdquo page
for discussion Notification facility allows
anyone to ldquowatchrdquo an article Sufficient security on pages
logins can be required A hierarchy of administrators
gardeners and editors Software Bots recognize certain
kinds of vandalism and auto-revert or recognize articles that need work and flag them for editors

Deep InfoDeep Info
Wikipedia has articles abouthellipbull hellip all cities with info on their
populations locations and skyscrapers etchellip all German cars with engine size accelerating datahellip
Can you find Skyscrapers with 50+ floors and built between 2000 and 2008 in Shanghai (or Chinese cities with 1000000+ people)
Or German(Porsche) cars that accelerate from 0-100kmh in 5 seconds

Problems with Static Lists TablesProblems with Static Lists Tables
Duplicated data Inconsistent data Data may not be up-to-date Hard to maintain Considerable efforts to make new listtable
We need structured data
with clear and consistent
semantics
Semantics Come To RescueSemantics Come To Rescue
To find answers likebull All Porsche vehicles made in Germany
that accelerate from 1-100 kmh less than 4 seconds
bull Sci-Fi movies made after year 2000 that cost less than $10M and gross more than $30M
bull A map showing where all Mercedes-Benz vehicles are manufactured
bull All skyscrapers in China (Japan Thailandhellip) of 50 (406070) floors or more and built in year 2000 (20012002) and after sorted by built year floorshellip grouped by cities regionshellip
bull And many more
What is a Semantic WikiWhat is a Semantic Wiki
A wiki that has an underlying model of the knowledge described in its pages
To allow users to make their knowledge explicit and formal Semantic Web Compatible
Semantic Wiki
Two PerspectivesTwo Perspectives
Wikis for Metadata
Metadata for Wikis
Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo
ldquoNumber_of_inhabitantsrdquo etc) Consistency of types units of measure application of
ruleshellip Semanticsinterpretation of properties need explanation for
humans hellip
One Key Helpful Feature of Semantic WikisOne Key Helpful Feature of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis are ldquoSchema-LastrdquoDatabases require DBAs and schema design
Semantic Wikis develop and maintain the schema in the wiki
Basics of Semantic WikisBasics of Semantic Wikis

So What is a WikiSo What is a Wiki
By Wikipediandash A wiki (pronounced w kiˈ ɪ WIK-ee) is a website that allows the
easy[1] creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor[2][3] Wikis are typically powered by wiki software and are often used to createcollaborative websites to power community websites for personal note taking in corporate intranets and in knowledge management systems

A Key Feature of WikiA Key Feature of Wiki
Consensus
This distinguishes wikis from other publication tools
Consensus in Wikis Comes fromConsensus in Wikis Comes from
Collaborationndash ~17 editspage on average in
Wikipedia (with high variance)ndash Wikipediarsquos Neutral Point of View
Conventionndash Users follow customs and
conventions to engage with articles effectively
Software Support Makes Wikis SuccessfulSoftware Support Makes Wikis Successful
Trivial to edit by anyone Tracking of all changes one-
step rollback Every article has a ldquoTalkrdquo page
for discussion Notification facility allows
anyone to ldquowatchrdquo an article Sufficient security on pages
logins can be required A hierarchy of administrators
gardeners and editors Software Bots recognize certain
kinds of vandalism and auto-revert or recognize articles that need work and flag them for editors

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined

The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo

So What is a WikiSo What is a Wiki
By Wikipediandash A wiki (pronounced w kiˈ ɪ WIK-ee) is a website that allows the
easy[1] creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor[2][3] Wikis are typically powered by wiki software and are often used to createcollaborative websites to power community websites for personal note taking in corporate intranets and in knowledge management systems

conventions to engage with articles effectively
Software Support Makes Wikis SuccessfulSoftware Support Makes Wikis Successful
Trivial to edit by anyone Tracking of all changes one-

Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc

So What is a WikiSo What is a Wiki
By Wikipediandash A wiki (pronounced w kiˈ ɪ WIK-ee) is a website that allows the
easy[1] creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor[2][3] Wikis are typically powered by wiki software and are often used to createcollaborative websites to power community websites for personal note taking in corporate intranets and in knowledge management systems

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc

So What is a WikiSo What is a Wiki
By Wikipediandash A wiki (pronounced w kiˈ ɪ WIK-ee) is a website that allows the
easy[1] creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor[2][3] Wikis are typically powered by wiki software and are often used to createcollaborative websites to power community websites for personal note taking in corporate intranets and in knowledge management systems

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo

Metadata for Wikis
Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo
ldquoNumber_of_inhabitantsrdquo etc) Consistency of types units of measure application of

Metadata for Wikis
Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo
ldquoNumber_of_inhabitantsrdquo etc) Consistency of types units of measure application of
ruleshellip Semanticsinterpretation of properties need explanation for

What is a Semantic WikiWhat is a Semantic Wiki
A wiki that has an underlying model of the knowledge described in its pages
To allow users to make their knowledge explicit and formal Semantic Web Compatible

Two PerspectivesTwo Perspectives
Wikis for Metadata
Metadata for Wikis
Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo
ldquoNumber_of_inhabitantsrdquo etc) Consistency of types units of measure application of
ruleshellip Semanticsinterpretation of properties need explanation for

What is a Semantic WikiWhat is a Semantic Wiki
A wiki that has an underlying model of the knowledge described in its pages
To allow users to make their knowledge explicit and formal Semantic Web Compatible

Two PerspectivesTwo Perspectives
Wikis for Metadata
Metadata for Wikis
Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo
ldquoNumber_of_inhabitantsrdquo etc) Consistency of types units of measure application of
ruleshellip Semanticsinterpretation of properties need explanation for
humans hellip
One Key Helpful Feature of Semantic WikisOne Key Helpful Feature of Semantic Wikis

What is a Semantic WikiWhat is a Semantic Wiki
A wiki that has an underlying model of the knowledge described in its pages
To allow users to make their knowledge explicit and formal Semantic Web Compatible

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo
ldquoNumber_of_inhabitantsrdquo etc) Consistency of types units of measure application of

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring

Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc

What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information

What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined

Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus

What is a Semantic WikiWhat is a Semantic Wiki
A wiki that has an underlying model of the knowledge described in its pages
To allow users to make their knowledge explicit and formal Semantic Web Compatible

Two PerspectivesTwo Perspectives
Wikis for Metadata
Metadata for Wikis
Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo
ldquoNumber_of_inhabitantsrdquo etc) Consistency of types units of measure application of

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo
ldquoNumber_of_inhabitantsrdquo etc) Consistency of types units of measure application of

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo

What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined

Why Semantic WikiWhy Semantic Wiki
Annotation of existing structures with machine readable metadatalinks carry meaning typing of links typing of pages
Context dependent adaptation and presentationdifferent domains have different ways of presenting content personal preferences etc
Improved ldquointelligentrdquo search and navigationqueries to the structure visualisation of structure derived information
Improved interoperability between systemsexchange of content integration of different systems agents etc
What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined
Easy to use as an extension of text authoring
The ultimate data aggregator
Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo

What is the Promise of Semantic WikisWhat is the Promise of Semantic Wikis
Semantic Wikis promise Consensus over Data and Structure
Combine low-expressivity data authorship with the best features of traditional wikis
User-governed user-maintained user-defined

Challenges on Data ConsensusChallenges on Data Consensus
Data modeling is (seemingly) a specialized skill Finding disagreements in data is difficult Consistently revising data schemas is difficult Consistency of schema information (ldquoPopulationrdquo ldquoPoprdquo
