Standard annotation/exchange format

  • original idea: resume this discussion from 2006. RDFa was considered suitable back then, but many details were left open. See also WSR 3
  • maybe there are more promising approaches towards interoperability (see below)

Standard system ontology

  • goal: API for ontology-based services in various semantic wikis
  • There are certain wikis (e.g. SweetWiki, IkeWiki) that internally use their home-made ontologies to represent pages/versions/users, and these ontologies are non-standard. Then there is SIOC, but so far it's not used in semantic wikis (AFAIK except IkeWiki, but there it's only used for discussions), and probably it lacks a few things that might be desirable for semantic wikis, so we could talk about the applicability of SIOC to semantic wikis. --Christoph
  • I'm currently using SIOC as the main system ontology in my wiki (paper "Interlinked Semantic Wiki Farm"), I'd be happy to share experiences and see how it can be reused in other systems, as well as working on what's need to be added to SIOC for semantic wikis -- AlexandrePassant

Interoperability via links

  • We can not so easily migrate from one engine to another – but that is not needed so often anyway. --Max
  • We can not re-use existing data such as dbpedia as parts of our pages (or can we? I know that for SMW they try to make that possible..) --Max
  • We can not link semantically from one wiki to another one. Is this ever needed?
    Yes, because of access rights. In our institute, we have currently 2 intranet wikis, one for us, one for the students. It would make a lot of sense to be able to render queries using both data sets in our wiki, too. Oh, and then there is the semanticweb.org SMW instance. It has a nice list of conferences. But in OUR wiki, we have a commented list of conferences. It would be much more clever to link to the conference-instances in the public wiki and have only the comments in our wiki, but then queries don't work.
    Behind this, I see the topic "access rights" or "semantic inter-wiki links" which seem relevant in practice. --Max
I strongly support this. --Christoph
I made similar experiments of interlinking data from semantic wikis (paper "Interlinked Semantic Wiki Farm") but I do not export the complete page data, only some RDF statements. Would be interested in discussion about access rights about it -- AlexandrePassant
