Next up for Wikipedia

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

I found this interesting: there is a project to add semantics to MediaWiki, the software that runs Wikipedia and lots of other wikis. The goals page is clear and concise, and here’s a sample of the kind of stuff they want to enable. There is a background page touching on RDF/RDFS and OWL, and how semantic wiki is different from semantic web.

There’s a ton of information buried in wikis; semantic annotation would make it explicit and more directly usable. One challenge is doing this in a way that doesn’t cause usability problems — hopefully anyone who can handle wiki syntax can also handle the annotations.
