Is OntoWiki useful as Collaborative Working Tool for Engineers?

In this work we examined whether OntoWiki 1 can be used as collaborative working tool for engineers. We used a specific domain related ontology PROTARES (PROject TAsks RESources) 2 , created in our previous work on collaboration modelling (Softic et al. 2013) from a real world use case, to adapt OntoWiki for the case study. With this example we want to test to which extent, semantically driven customized applications can support monitoring, reflection and decision making in engineering collaboration scenario.
