Advantages of a Semantic Wiki based on a system ontology

Other semantic wikis are not centered around a specific ontology.

  • They allow for ad-hoc modeling a domain ontology
  • or for importing some domain ontologies
  • or they come pre-loaded with some domain ontologies

… and links between pages can be typed with terms from these domain ontologies.

Thus, …

  • they do not have the same knowledge as SWiM has about its pages
  • they do not know about things like dependency or containment.

Note:

  • In the special case of OMDoc/SWiM, the language with a system ontology is an ontology language by itself
    • But not explicitly -- implicitly! (As the knowledge about math must be extracted from the OMDoc code, which is ABox knowledge about mathematical statements)
    • Really? Can't our famous counter-example "all diffable functions are continuous" be written as a theory inclusion?

Reasoning

  • works of Boris Motik, KAON2
  • Local Closed World Assumption might help
  • Generic reasoners are not efficient
