Abstract

Recently, Semantic Wikis showed reasonable success as collaboration platforms in the context of social semantic applications. In this paper, we present a novel approach, that interprets the concept of Semantic Wikis as a knowledge engineering environment, that effectively help to build decision-support systems. We introduce the Semantic Wiki KnowWE, that provides the possibility to define and maintain ontologies together with strong problem-solving knowledge. Thus, the wiki can be used to collaboratively build decision-support systems. These enhancements require extensions of the standard Semantic Wiki architecture by a task ontology for problem-solving and an adapted reasoning process. We discuss these extensions in detail, and we describe a case study in the field of medical emergency systems.
