Managing Web Content Using Linked Data Principles - Combining Semantic Structure with Dynamic Content Syndication

Despite the success of the emerging Linked Data Web, offering content in a machine-processable way and -- at the same time -- as a traditional Web site is still not a trivial task. In this paper, we present the OntoWiki-CMS - an extension to the collaborative knowledge engineering toolkit OntoWiki for managing semantically enriched Web content. OntoWiki-CMS is based on OntoWiki for the collaborative authoring of semantically enriched Web content, vocabularies and taxonomies for the semantic structuring of the Web content and the OntoWiki Site Extension, a template and dynamic syndication system for representing the semantically enriched content as a Web site and the dynamic integration of supplementary content. OntoWiki-CMS facilitates and integrates existing content-specific content management strategies (such as blogs, bibliographic repositories or social networks). OntoWiki-CMS helps to balance between the creation of rich, stable semantic structures and the participatory involvement of a potentially large editor and contributor community. As a result semantic structuring of the Web content facilitates better search, browsing and exploration as we demonstrate with a use case.
