Knowledge Management in a Wiki Platform via Microformats

The paper presents a conceptual solution and an implementation for acquiring, modeling, publishing, retrieving, reusing and maintaining knowledge within XWiki, an open source collaborative system. We propose a new microformat (hLocation) to denote georeferences (locations). The provided case-studies illustrate the facets of Semantic Web (metadata, microformats, ontologies) participating to the platform’s enhancements.
