The second day of ESWC08 (Monday) featured the 3rd Semantic Wiki Workshop, supported by the projects KiWi and NEPOMUK. The workshop was organised by Hala, Max, Christoph, and myself (see photos below), and started with a keynote by Peter Dolog about the recently gathered KiWi requirements for Semantic Wikis.

We then had a number of very interesting presentations by the authors whose papers had been accepted to the workshop. Particularly noteworthy was the presentation given by Alexandre Passant, “Towards an Interlinked Semantic Wiki Farm”, which also received our “best paper award” (he received the symbolic price of 4 Kiwi fruits).

The afternoon was primarily dedicated to a poster and demo session, where everyone could present his systems and other ideas in a rather free and creative environment. The workshop concluded with the real “workshop” part, where participants were expected to collectively think about the future of Semantic Wikis and there importance in different areas (results upcoming).

For KiWi, the workshop also resulted in several promising contacts of participants who were interested in the forthcoming KiWi results.
