>
> Semantic Wikis try to combine the strengths of Semantic Web
> (machine processable, data integration, complex queries) and Wiki
> (easy to use and contribute, strongly interconnected,
> collaborativeness) technologies. Goals are diverse and include:
> o simple annotations of existing Wiki content;
> o tools that guide users from informal knowledge contained in texts to more
>formal structures;
> o full-fledged tools for ontology editing where the text is no longer in
>the focus of the system.

> In the future, Semantic Wiki systems might play an important role
> for "knowledge acquisition", enabling non-technical users to
> contribute to the Semantic Web. (07)

> We invite submissions as full and short papers, as well as
> posters/demos. Papers should describe original, unpublished
> research and must not be under review by another conference,
> journal, or workshop. Authors of the highest quality contributions
> will be invited to present their work at the workshop (probably 20
> minutes). Since Semantic Wikis are a very practical topic, we are
> also very interested in poster and demo submissions. Posters and
> Demos should describe prototypical implementations of systems
> related to the workshop topics. Highest quality submissions will
> be presented in a separate poster/demo session. Contributions
> should adhere to the following formats:
>
> o Papers 5-15 pages, LNCS
> o Posters/Demos 2-5 pages, LNCS
> o Short/Position Papers: 2-5 pages, LNCS

> In this workshop, we will explore a new form of publication, the
> so-called "ABCDE "-format. This format has been proposed recently
> by User:Anita de Waard (Elsevier) and allows authors to annotate
> their articles directly with semantic markup. This semantic markup
> will be used in the electronic workshops proceedings to facilitate
> searching and browsing. A specialised Latex template will be
> provided by the workshop organisers that allows to easily add
> these annotations. You can start using the Springer LNCS template
> and later switch to LNCS-ABCDEF (which will be published on this
> website). (09)
