in addition to the SemanticMediaWiki (which is probably the most mature and surely the best known and most widely used) there are a number of other Semantic Wikis, such as IkeWiki[1], PlatypusWiki[2], OntoWiki[3] or - still very much in development but nice looking - myOntology[4]. Freebase[5] is a commercial service going in a similar direction. From your short description about the kind of tool you are looking for, i think that OntoWiki most closely matches that. There are also other tools that are not so closely modeled after the traditional wiki-UI, that also support web-based collaborative creation of domain models. The soboleo[6] system for example allows the collaborative creation of SKOS taxonomies and has a realtime-collaborative ajax editor to support building the taxonomy. The ImageNotion[7] system supports the end-user driven creation of domain models for image annotation and retrieval. cu valentin [1]: http://ikewiki.salzburgresearch.at/ [2]: http://platypuswiki.sourceforge.net/ [3]: http://aksw.org/Projects/OntoWiki [4]: http://www.myontology.org/ [5]: http://www.freebase.com/ [6]: http://www.soboleo.com/ [7]: http://www.imagenotion.com/ -- email: zacharias@fzi.de phone: +49-721-9654-806 fax : +49-721-9654-807 http://www.vzach.de/blog ======================================================================= FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik an der Universität Karlsruhe (TH) Haid-und-Neu-Str. 10-14, 76131 Deutschland, http://www.fzi.de SdbR, Az: 14-0563.1 Regierungspräsidium Karlsruhe Vorstand: Rüdiger Dillmann, Michael Flor, Jivka Ovtcharova, Rudi Studer Vorsitzender des Kuratoriums: Ministerialdirigent Günther Leßnerkraus ======================================================================= > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: semantic-web-request@w3.org [mailto:semantic-web-request@w3.org] Im > Auftrag von Peter Ansell > Gesendet: Freitag, 14.
