Research on Developing Semantic Wiki System by Using Concept Map Theory

[[abstract]]The most important feature of Wikipedia is "open and collaborative". It makes Wikipedia an application platform on which most internet users can create knowledge collaboratively. Wikipedia currently can only save knowledge entries into a page format and provide simple search function without a completed knowledge structure. Thus, this research is trying to build knowledge classification by ontology technology and features wiki entries semantic functions. Knowledge can be stored in accordance with the classification structure of ontology database . Through this mechanism, users can create an organized knowledge in wiki system. Due to the lack of knowledge navigation in wiki system, this research import the form of concept maps to help users browse the knowledge content page. We use Java programming language and scalable vector graphics(SVG) to create concept map automatically. Our system can provide the users easily to get a better understanding of knowledge structure and edit the concept map through the internet. In other words, it provide the feature "open and collaborative" for the users. Owing to the combination of the ontology technology and concept map, our system can make wiki system not only a repository of fragment knowledge, but also an e-learning platform with semantic concept.
