Background: Biological sciences are characterised not only by an increasing amount but also the extreme complexity of its data. This stresses the need for efficient ways of integrating these data in a coherent description of biological systems. In many cases, biological data needs organization before integration. This is not seldom a collaborative effort, and it is thus important that tools for data integration support a collaborative way of working. Wiki systems with support for structured semantic data authoring, such as Semantic MediaWiki, provide a powerful solution for collaborative editing of data combined with machine-readability, so that data can be handled in an automated fashion in any downstream analyses. Semantic MediaWiki lacks a built-in data import function though, which hinders efficient round-tripping of data between interoperable Semantic Web formats such as RDF and the internal wiki format.Results: To solve this deficiency, the RDFIO suite of tools is presented, which supports importing of RDF data into Semantic MediaWiki, with metadata needed to export it again in the same RDF format, or ontology. Additionally, the new functionality enables mash-ups of automated data imports combined with manually created data presentations. The application of the suite of tools is demonstrated by importing drug discovery related data about rare diseases from Orphanet and acid dissociation constants from Wikidata. The RDFIO suite of tools is freely available for download via pharmb. io/project/rdfio.Conclusions: Through a set of biomedical demonstrators, it is demonstrated how the new functionality enables a number of usage scenarios where the interoperability of SMW and the wider Semantic Web is leveraged for biomedical data sets, to create an easy to use and flexible platform for exploring and working with biomedical data.

På webbplatsen arbetsliv.org finns webbsidorna branschkunskap och ämneskunskap innehållandes länkar till andra webbsidor, med fakta kring arbetsmiljö. Webbsidorna riktar sig främst till arbetsmiljöingenjörer och medlemmarna inom organisationerna FTF (Föreningen Teknisk Företagshälsovård) Arbetsmiljö och EHSS, Ergonomi och Human Factors Sällskapet Sverige. Arbetsmiljöingenjörer arbetar med frågor relaterade till branscher inom många olika områden. Därför anses det underlätta deras arbete genom att ha en samlad plats för branschspecifik information. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utveckla webbsidor till en egen domän, arbetsmiljowiki.se, och att utifrån organisationsmedlemmarnas åsikter skapa en wiki med bransch- och ämneskunskap inom arbetsmiljö. För att ta reda på användarnas åsikter genomfördes åtta stycken kvalitativa telefonintervjuer med intervjupersoner från olika åldersgrupper. Litteraturstudier skedde kring val och utveckling av teknisk lösning för att få en bild av de möjligheter som finns. Jämförelsen av tekniska lösningar, analysen av telefonintervjuerna och de uppställda kraven utgör tillsammans ett delresultat. Delresultatet ledde fram till en integration av Facebookinloggning, YouTubelänkar, kommentarsfält och att resultatet arbetsmiljowiki.se utformades enligt organisationsmedlemmarnas åsikter. Located on the website arbetsliv.org is the webpages branschkunskap and ämneskunskap, containing links to other websites with facts about occupational health and safety. The webpages mainly target themselves towards occupational health engineers and members of the two organization’s FTF (Föreningen Teknisk Företagshälsovård) Arbetsmiljö and EHSS, Ergonomi och Human Factors Sällskapet Sverige. Occupational health engineers work with questions related to industries of many different fields. Therefore, it is considered to facilitate their work by providing a collaborative collection of industry-specific information. The purpose of this thesis is to develop the webpages into an independent domain, arbetsmiljowiki.se, and based on the organization members’ opinions create a wiki about industry and subject knowledge related to occupational health and safety. To collect the users’ opinions, eight qualitative telephone interviews were carried out with interviewees from different age-groups. Literature studies regarding choice of and development of technical solutions were performed in order to obtain a greater picture of the available possibilities. The comparison of technical solutions, analysis of the telephone interviews and the specified requirements together make up a part of the result. One part of the result resulted in an integration of Facebook login, embedded YouTube videos, comment fields and that the final result arbetsmiljowiki.se was shaped as per the organization members’ requests.

This article describes an experimental study that evaluated differences in students' discourse and actions when they used a wiki with discussion (i.e., an enhanced wiki) vs. a forum with attached MS Word documents for asynchronous collaboration on two case problems. The study used a counterbalanced within-subject design with 34 online learners working in small groups. A systematic content analysis of learners' interactions coupled with visual, analytical techniques showed within-group differences in using the technologies. The study revealed the expanding nature of a forum and the condensing nature of a wiki. Also, findings suggest that in a wiki, groups tend to be more collaborative, whereas in a threaded discussion, groups tend to be more cooperative. The study provides insights for instructors who use wikis and forums in their online courses to support collaborative problem-based activity.

En este proyecto se ha tratado de estudiar la viabilidad de las wikis semánticas para el registro informal (pero consultable) de información operativa de un departamento de una empresa. This work evaluates the posible use of semantic wikis to recopilate, in an informal way, part of the operational knowledge on any enterprise department. En aquest projecte s'ha tractat d'estudiar la viabilitat de les wikis semàntiques per al registre informal (però consultable) d'informació operativa d'un departament d'una empresa.

En aquest treball s'analitza el funcionament de Semantic MediaWiki, que es basa en MediaWiki, una wiki tradicional mundialment coneguda per ser la base amb què es va desenvolupar Wikipedia. Abans s'identifiquen les principals tecnologies de la web semàntica i es defineix el propòsit de les wikis semàntiques. En este trabajo se analiza el funcionamiento de Semantic MediaWiki, que se basa en MediaWiki, una wiki tradicional mundialmente conocida por ser la base con la que se desarrolló Wikipedia.

The paper describes in detail the recovery effort of one of the official MediaWiki grammars. Over two hundred grammar transformation steps are reported and annotated, leading to delivery of a level 2 grammar, semi-automatically extracted from a community created semi-formal text using at least five different syntactic notations, several non-enforced naming conventions, multiple misspellings, obsolete parsing technology idiosyncrasies and other problems commonly encountered in grammars that were not engineered properly. Having a quality grammar will allow to test and validate it further, without alienating the community with a separately developed grammar.

Wikis are promoted as collaborative writing tools that allow students to transform a text into a collective document by information sharing and group reflection. However, despite the promising collaborative capabilities of wikis, their pedagogical value regarding collaborative writing is still questionable. Wiki alone cannot make collaborative writing happen, and students do not automatically become more active, participate, and collaborate with others when they use wikis. To foster collaborative writing and active involvement in wiki development there is a need for a systematic approach to wikis. Themain goal of this paper is to propose and evaluate a co-writing approach to the development of wikis, along with the study of three wiki applications to report on pedagogical implications of collaborative writing in higher education., {"references":["K.R.

Darbo tikslas – Wiki technologijos panaudojimo galimybės elektroninių dokumentų valdymui ir saugojimui. Analitinėje dalyje buvo apžvelgti siūlomi problemos sprendimo budai: dokumentų valdymo sistemos ir internetinių programų sistemos. Sistemų įvertinimui buvo atlikta apklausa. Nustatyta, kad dokumentų valdymo sistemos tinka stambioms įmonėms, apdorojančioms didelius dokumentų kiekius bei reikalaujančioms sudėtingo dokumentų valdymo, o internetinės sistemos - smulkiam verslui. Pasiūlytas universalus problemos sprendimas, kuris tinka ir stambioms, ir smulkioms įmonėms - wiki technologija. Atlikta wiki technologijos galimybių ir wiki programinės įrangos analizės. Projektinėje dalyje suprojektuota siūloma wiki sistema. Eksperimentinėje dalyje aprašytas bandomosios wiki sistemos diegimo procesas bei vartotojų atsiliepimai. Project‘s goal is to show how the same technology used in Wiki, can be implemented as a means to administrate and store e-documents. “Analytical approaches” – this is where solutions to project problems are analyzed, such as systems for administrating documents and free services provided by the Internet. To determine usage of each solution a survey have been done: documents administration systems are more preferred by large companies that need to process huge amounts of information and need advanced document control capabilities, while smaller companies are satisfied with simpler and free systems which provided by the Internet. A universal solution is presented, that both types of companies can find acceptable – document administration system based on Wiki technology. Tests were made and then performed to see what can be achieved with it, such as capabilities and actual systems already based on Wiki technology. After analyzes a draft is made of the planed system. The install process for trial version of the Wiki based system and user comments about it are at the end of this document.

U ovom završnom radu opisana je izvedba interaktivnih nastavnih materijala korištenjem MediaWiki sustava. Odabrao sam MediaWiki sustav zbog toga što je vrlo rasprostranjen, pa vjerujem da će zbog toga studentima biti olakšano snalaženje, a pogotovo sudjelovanje na proširenju i unapređenju sustava. U ovom dokumentu dao sam kratak pregled MediaWiki sustava, te upute za njegovo korištenje i unošenje podataka u njega. Konačni cilj izrade ovog Wikija je pomoći studentima prilikom savladavanja gradiva predmeta Obrada Informacija, te poticanje studenata na međusobnu suradnju na unapređenju i proširenju sustava, kako bi služio kao dobra podloga za stjecanje i proširivanje znanja sadašnjim, a pogotovo budućim generacijama.

A manufacturing feature can be defined simply as a geometric shape and its manufacturing information to create the shape. In a feature-based process planning system, feature library that consists of pre-defined manufacturing features and the manufacturing information to create the shape of the features, plays an important role in the extraction of manufacturing features with their proper manufacturing information. However, to manage the manufacturing information flexibly, it is important to build a feature library that can be easily modified. In this paper, the implementation of Semantic Wiki for the development of the feature library is proposed., {"references":["K.

AWeb 2.0 coloca em evidência iniciativas que valorizam atividades comunitárias, colaborativas e democráticas. Os processos de filtragem e seleção de artigos para publicação científica caminham na contra-mão destes novos conceitos. A seleção de artigos para publicação, tanto em conferências quanto em periódicos, utiliza abordagens fechadas. O objetivo deste processo fechado é garantir que somente artigos de qualidade sejam publicados. Por outro lado, devido a falta de transparência, o processo fechado está sujeito a uma infinidade de problemas que podem surgir através de equívocos ou até mesmo de tendências anti-éticas. Constam na literatura vários exemplos de problemas com o processo de seleção fechado. Com a consolidação daWeb 2.0, ambientes abertos de edição de conteúdo conquistam cada vez mais espaço. Aproveitam contribuições espontâneas de usuários para crescer rapidamente. A aplicação do processo de edição utilizado por estes ambientes em um contexto de edição e revisão de artigos científicos pode modificar radicalmente o processo utilizado atualmente. Por outro lado, por estarem sujeitos ao acesso de usuários não comprometidos, ambientes abertos não apresentam fortes argumentos para estabelecer confiança entre usuários. Este trabalho apresenta um método dinâmico para indicação de pontos de qualificação aplicado em um protótipo desenvolvido para editoração de artigos. O protótipo segue um processo onde todas as etapas que envolvem edição, revisão e comentários dos artigos são abertas e transparentes. As qualificações indicadas pelo método são geradas a partir de dados quantitativos e qualitativos e são utilizadas para gerar um ranking de qualificação dos usuários. Este ranking tem o objetivo de contribuir para o estabelecimento de confiança entre usuários. Web 2.0 evidence initiatives over communitarian, collaborative and democratic activities. The filtering processes for selection of papers for scientific publication goes against these new concepts. The selection of paper for publications in conferences and periodics uses closed review. The objective of this closed process is to guarantee the quality of these published papers. On the other hand, the closed process has transparency lack. It is subject to a infinity of problems that can even appear through mistakes or of anti-ethics trends. Some examples of problems with the closed process consists in literature. The consolidation of Web 2.0 brings more attention to open content edition environments. These environments use spontaneous user’s contributions to enlarge quickly. The application of the process used by open content edition environments can strongly change the currently closed process used to selection of scientific publications. On the other hand, the open process is subject to fake or not compromised users. This problem starts a lack of trust for unknown users. This work presents a method for qualification points generation applied in a prototype for edition and review of articles that extends MediaWiki, the Wikipedia’s environment. The prototype implements a process where all steps of edition, comment and review of articles are open. To complete lacks of trust between users, the prototype uses a dynamic qualification method. The qualifications indicated by this method are based in quantitative and qualitative data and the users are listed in a ranking ordered by best ratings.

Teaching statistics to students in our area of economics and educational science often brings about the problem that students have either forgotten their statistical knowledge, or have taken different classes than the ones we offer in basic statistics. We therefore need some kind of statistical dictionary where we, as teachers, can refer to a common base and where students can look up specific terms. The Wikipedia - a general online encyclopaedia - compelled us to use a wiki for our dictionary. While the Wikipedia contains a large number of statistical terms, these are often too long and detailed to be visual displayed in lectures very well and some more specific terms are not included.

Weblogs en wiki's zijn lichtgewicht applicaties en kunnen los van elkaar ingezet worden, maar ze gaan ook heel goed samen. Er is sprake van een duidelijke samenhang tussen de functionaliteiten van weblogs en wiki's. Weblogs zijn namelijk uitermate geschikt voor het communiceren van actuele dynamische content (nieuws), een wiki kan daarbij fungeren als aanvullende documentatie- of naslagruimte (achtergronden). En dan is er, niet te vergeten, nog het rss-protocol. Dit werkt als bindmiddel voor de content van beide systemen, het is de centrale schakel tussen zenders en ontvangers van informatie. Wiki's worden door de enorme hype rondom weblogs enigszins overschaduwd, maar zeker in bedrijfsomgevingen zijn wiki's uitermate geschikt voor collectieve taken.

Además, este trabajo trata de obtener las métricas necesarias para establecer patrones de uso y comportamiento que permitan caracterizar la interacción con la plataforma y puedan ayudar a describir la actitud de los alumnos a la hora de enfrentarse a la realización de tareas cooperativas que exijan coordinación y organización de esfuerzos., [EN] This paper describes the study carried out in order to analyze and evaluate the use of a wikibased platform as a supporting element in the student learning process. The Wiki platform is also analyzed as a tool providing services in teaching of subjects related to New Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Moreover, this work focuses on the necessary metrics to be obtained in order to establish use and behavioural patterns which allow to characterize the user-platform relationships and may lead to describe possible students’ attitudes when facing tasks demanding cooperative and collaborative efforts.

Introduction The popularity of wikis has increased in the last few years, particularly in education. By allowing collaboration and information sharing, wikis can be used as a tool for lifelong learning. Health Informatics, as a field in permanent transformation, offers particular challenges that can be better tackled if access to centralized information and support to collaboration is possible. By adding semantics’ strengths to wikis’ features, such thing is possible. Aim This paper aims to present the development of a Semantic MediaWiki on Health Informatics - aprendIS: a place for information and knowledge sharing, and virtual collaboration of the Portuguese speaking community. Methods A survey has been conducted on students and teachers in health informatics in Portugal and Brazil to evaluate the need for a wiki in health informatics and to assess the most important subjects to address in such a platform, and a first structure of the Semantic MediaWiki was developed, based on the opinion of the respondents. Results Results show that more than half of 11% of respondents are interested in contributing with content and in using the wiki, and that there is a consensus in what the respondents expect to find in the wiki: the most voted subject was Health Information Systems. Conclusion According to the survey conducted, students and teachers of Health Informatics are definitely interested in a Semantic MediaWiki such as aprendIS. Our proposal builds such a tool according to the needs and wants of those students and teachers.
