Abstract

This article describes the architecture and design principles of IkeWiki, a semantic Wiki we developed at Salzburg research. Outstanding features of IkeWiki are its support for collaborative knowledge engineering, its ease of use, its support for different levels of formalisation ranging from informal texts to formal ontologies, and its sophisticated, interactive user interface. While IkeWiki has been developed primarily as a tool for ontology engineering, it can be used in a variety of application scenarios. We briefly present some of these at the end of the article
