SEMANTIC ANNOTATION OF WIKI USING WIKI MARKUP FOR HTML5 MICRODATA

Abstract

Wiki, the collaborative web authoring system makes Web a huge collection of information, as the Wiki pages are authored by anybody all over the world. These Wiki pages, if annotated semantically, will serve as a universal pool of intellectual resources that can be read by machines too. This paper presents an analytical study of making the Wiki pages semantic by using HTML5 semantic elements and annotating with microdata. The implementation has been done by enhancing the parser of Mediawiki to understand the new Semantic Wiki markup.
