Knowledge capture in the wild
Semantic wikis augment wikis with semantic properties that can be used to structure content that can therefore be aggregated and queried through reasoning. Semantic wikis have been adopted by many communities for very diverse purposes, such as organizing genomic knowledge, coding software, learn about hobbies, and tracking environmental data. Although wikis have been analyzed extensively, there has been little analysis of the use of semantic wikis. In this paper, we analyze the formalization of knowledge in 230 semantic wiki communities. We report our findings in terms of the edits of semantic concepts and properties, as well as the communities of editors for these semantic features of the wikis.
