Abstract
In this paper we propose the components, the general architecture and application areas for a controlled natural language based multilingual semantic wiki. Such a wiki is a collaborative knowledge engineering environment that makes its content available via multiple languages, both natural and formal, all of them synchronized via their abstract form that is assigned by a shared grammar. We also describe a preliminary implementation of such a system based on the existing technologies of Grammatical Framework, Attempto Controlled English, and AceWiki.
