Semantic search on heterogeneous Wiki systems

Published:07 July 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper describes a system to enable semantic search across heterogeneous wikis in an unified way using Semantic Web technologies. In particular, we discuss (i) how we designed a common model for representing social and structural wiki features and (ii) how we extracted semantic data from wikis using Mediawiki and Dokuwiki. On this basis, we show how we built and efficient application with a simple user-interface enabling semantic searching and browsing capabilities on the top of different interlinked wikis.
