SemanticWiki for SharePoint is a semantic wiki that was designed and developed for professional use within Microsoft SharePoint 2007. Apart from the well-known features of a traditional wiki (collecting and exchanging information), SemanticWiki has also additional semantic features.

Within SemanticWiki individual wiki pages can be assigned to be a particular knowledge object: person, product, department, company, etc. The created pages have therefore an explicit meaning (semantics). For example, the system “knows” that "John Doe" is an employee and "TRF 2000" is a product. This information can be used for other features within SemanticWiki to automatically generate reports/reporting’s or lists/ tables. This makes it possible to generate overviews containing all departments and products of a company. The information is collected from different wiki pages and partly generated by using company specific business rules (deduced information). The pages show the implicitly available knowledge which is collected automatically and therefore no manual maintenance is necessary.

• User-friendly interface
  Fast and easy collection of information within SemanticWiki owing to an intuitive user interface. WYSIWYG editors support users in creating wiki pages.
• Enterprise-Ready
  Seamless integration into existing SharePoint installations, multilingual and customizable layout to match the corporate design guidelines.
• Semantic Wiki pages
  Mapping to object types adds a meaning (semantics) to the wiki pages.
• Knowledge base for automatic evaluation
  A standard knowledge base (ontology) is available in SemanticWiki after installation. This knowledge base can be extended and adapted to the existing business environment and application scope of SemanticWiki.
• First-Class Content Management
  Access to all CMS functions of SharePoint within SemanticWiki: versioning, checking-in/checking-out the wiki pages, approval and publishing processes and rights management.
