Semantic wiki representations for building an enterprise knowledge base

Abstract

In the literature semantically enabled knowledge technologies are described as a new kind of web ([1], XI). In the science domain many ideas and interesting tool prototypes exist. In companies, however, there is less estimation for the effort and ways for using semantic web technologies. Special application scenarios for business purposes and experiences in real-life projects are necessary ([1], 303). This paper focuses on the need for semantic technologies from a business perspective and explains ideas of a scientific partner. Furthermore, the collaborative research project SoftWiki is introduced. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
