KnowWE - A Wiki for Knowledge Base Development

The development of knowledge systems has been driven by changing approaches, starting with special purpose languages in the 1960s that evolved later to dedicated editors and environments. Nowadays, tools for the collaborative creation and maintenance of knowledge became attractive. Such tools allow for the work on knowledge even for distributed panels of experts and for knowledge at different formalization levels. The paper (tool presentation) introduces the semantic wiki KnowWE, a collaborative platform for the acquisition and use of different types of knowledge, ranging from semantically annotated text to strong problem-solving knowledge. We also report on some current use cases of KnowWE.
