Wiki Software targets commercial/corporate environments.
July 6, 2009 -
Semantic MediaWiki+ v1.4.4 lets users collaboratively create, organize, and retrieve knowledge in wiki. Open source program features toolbars for tagging content semantically, ontology browser, and graphical query interface to compose queries to knowledge base using mouse. Also included is WYSIWYG editor for creating rich texts with embedded media files/semantic queries as well as search engine, permission controls, and tool for querying from and exporting to Excel.
SMW+ makes it easy for your team to cope with knowledge-intensive processes and to exploit the implicit knowledge locked in unstructured wiki contents
Karlsruhe, Germany - June 15, 2009 - ontoprise GmbH, the leading provider of industry-proven Semantic Web infrastructure technologies, has released Semantic MediaWiki+ 1.4.4. SMW+ is an open-source semantic wiki, aimed at usage in commercial and corporate environments, allowing you better manage and retrieve wiki contents, compared to conventional enterprise wikis. It provides intuitive means for end-users to collaboratively create, organize and retrieve knowledge in your wiki. By knowledge we mean semantically enriched wiki contents, which can be processed and interpreted by the wiki system and other ontology infrastructures. As a consequence, users are not restricted to simple key word search for knowledge retrieval, but they are able to query and evaluate the wiki's knowledge base, giving them precisely the information they need. The contained semantics make the wiki context-aware: Thus, a query e.g. for wiki pages tagged with "event", also yields pages only tagged with "conference", because the wiki understands that every conference is an event.
The overall functions, enabling the creation, organization and retrieval of semantic data in SMW+, comprise amongst others:
o Toolbars for tagging wiki contents semantically, supporting users e.g. via auto-completion and highlighting
o An ontology browser, allowing you to grasp the semantic data immediately
o A graphical query interface, for easily composing queries to the knowledge base with a few mouse-clicks
These tools provide the basis that your wiki does not become another dump of scattered, unorganized information pieces, but a real knowledge base.
Upon these basic functions, SMW+ provides further features and amenities:
o A WYSIWYG editor for conveniently creating rich texts with embedded media files and semantic queries
o Awareness functions, allowing you not only to track changes on wiki pages, but in the semantic data
o A state-of-the-art search engine, providing search results from full texts (wiki pages and uploaded documents) and the knowledge base on a unified interface
o Permission controls, enabling the protection of wiki contents for users and user groups on different layers (e.g. based on namespaces or single pages)
o Data import component, allowing to integrate data from external systems (e.g. legacy enterprise systems), web services and 'linked data' sources on the web
o Semantic-aware forms, for entering recurring structured data, getting annotated semantically on-the-fly
o Various result printers, for enhancing query results visually and creating appealing dash-boards (e.g. pie- and bar-charts, google-maps, event-lines)
o Connectors for triple stores, enabling to query wiki data via SPARQL (from remote) and providing advanced reasoning support (e.g. exploiting user-defined rules)
o A Gardening framework, for maintaining the wiki's knowledge base via automatic helper tools
o Prime content with a pre-defined ontology, templates and forms providing a base start for teamwork purposes
o Excel Bridge, for querying SMW+ from within Excel and smooth import of the query results into MS Excel spreadsheets
Discover SMW+, allowing you to blend unstructured content with semantically tagged data, providing a platform for teams covering the whole lifecycle for knowledge management or project management. From the initial start and planning phases with informal workflows, vocabulary building and collection of information, to its termination focussing on post-evaluation and knowledge re-use.
SMW+ can be obtained as pre-packaged, ready-to-use bundle (199 Euro), shipped as Windows installer and as free packages (without prime content) from SourceForge.net. Ontoprise offers commercial support and training. You can also charge us for content and interface customizations and knowledge base building.
SMW+ includes Semantic MediaWiki (developed by Markus Krötzsch and Denny Vrandecic at the University of Karlsruhe) and the halo-Extension which is developed by Ontoprise in the HALO project, a Paul G. Allen initiative which is sponsored by his Seattle-based Vulcan Inc.
