From SemWiki2008

Target Audience

We want to bring together researchers active in the development and application of traditional and semantic wiki systems, as well as researchers interested in knowledge acquisition in general and in computer supported cooperative work. This could include researchers working on semantic portals, personal knowledge management systems and ontology authoring.

The core of the Semantic Wiki community, since the last workshop mostly represented in the Semantic Wiki Interest Group, consists of around 150 researchers so far, but there are indications that other research communities have started to become interested in applying Semantic Wikis, even though they may use different terminologies. For example, the TYPES topical workshop "Math Wiki" of October 2007 was a meeting within the community of Mathematical Knowledge Management that dealt with collaborative tools for formal mathematics. Enterprise wikis, CSCW tools and knowledge management portals are also application areas of semantic wikis. We aim at establishing connections to these communities.
