Semantic Wiki metadata creation

wiki vs. web:
 * writable
 * hyperlinks create pages
 * versioning obligatory (automatic)

some semantics: automatic linking (based on page names) semantic wiki: automatic linking (based on graph, e.g. neighbours)

normal wiki (meta)data

 * plain text page markup
 * formatting instructions
 * page URL
 * pictures
 * versioning
 * author
 * creation date
 * diff
 * comment
 * user profile
 * history
 * preferences
 * access rights
 * graph interlinked pages
 * tags
 * page hierarchy
 * categories
 * external links

semantic wiki (meta)data

 * annotations
 * typed links
 * attributes
 * page type

semantic wiki features

 * annotation subject granularity (fine-grained, probably maximally to word/link level)
 * annotate the annotations (reification)
 * terminology
 * annotations from other applications (import from word, editor, web browser)
 * import metadata
 * queries/customised views, filtering, faceted navigation (reading)

benefits of semantic wikis

 * reading: query, filter, browse
 * on the reading side, you get the benefits
 * writing: import data/metadata from other sources
 * but we do not really do this yet
 * on the writing side, you just get the burden
 * need to entice people to write metadata as well
