How a semantic Wiki can support the ideas development in innovation activities

We will present in this paper how to ensure the creation and the validation of idea by using a Semantic Wiki approach. We describe the system called Wiki-I which is used by engineers to allow them to formalize their ideas during the research solutions activities. Wiki-I is based on an ontology about the innovation domain which allows to structure the wiki pages and to store the knowledge posted by the engineers. In this paper, we will explain how Wiki-I ensures the reliability of the innovative ideas base create from the Wiki thanks to a idea evaluation process. After explaining the interest of the use of semantic wikis in innovation management approach we describe the architecture of Wiki-I with its semantic functionalities. At the end of the paper, we prove the effectiveness of Wiki-I with a ideas evaluation example in the case of a students challenge for innovation.
