System Description: An Orienteering Strategy to Browse Semantically-Enhanced Educational Wiki Pages

Wikis have been adopted along the years, aiming to provide an easy and simple support to people keep the information systems on the Internet up-to-date, and making possible efficient collaborative authoring. As the number of pages and corresponding contents increases, wiki users face difficulties when browsing for wiki pages. This paper presents a system prototype based on orienteering to browse semantically-enhanced educational wiki pages. The results of a user-based evaluation of the system prototype are also presented.
