“…Piki and Uniwiki distribute the wiki contents over all the participating peers, allowing scalability, cost sharing, and use limited replication to ensure fault tolerance. Wooki , also based on a P2P network, fully replicates the wiki on each node, privileging maximal fault‐tolerance, at the cost of low scalability.…”

Summary Existing Wiki systems such as Wikipedia depend on a centralized authority and cannot easily accommodate multiple points of view. We present P2Pedia, a social peer‐to‐peer wiki system, where users have their own local repository and can collaborate by creating, discovering, editing, and sharing pages with their peers but without synchronizing them. Multiple versions of each page can thus co‐exist on each repository and across the network, which allows for multiple points of view. Browsing or searching the wiki thus yields multiple page versions; to help the user's page selection process, the system annotates search results with trust indicators based on the distribution of each version in the peer repositories and the topology of the social network. We describe an experimental study where the system was deployed for academic writing exercises, and we analyze the results to validate different aspects of this collaboration principle.

“…While large systems such as Wikipedia can manage scalability using a distributed infrastructure, this comes at a massive cost, for storage, bandwidth and system maintenance. To address the different issues outlined earlier, many systems have been proposed, such as Wooki , UniWiki , DistriWiki , DSMW , git‐wiki , Smallest Federated Wiki and P2Pedia . These systems extend the wiki concept to a distributed infrastructure, under the names ‘peer‐to‐peer wiki’, ‘mobile wiki’, ‘offline wiki’, ‘federated wiki’ and others.…”

Distributed wiki' is a generic term covering various systems, including 'peer-to-peer wiki', 'mobile wiki', 'offline wiki', 'federated wiki' and others. Distributed wikis distribute their pages among the sites of autonomous participants to address various motivations, including high availability of data, new collaboration models and different viewpoints of subjects. Although existing systems share some common basic concepts, it is often difficult to understand the specificity of each one, the underlying complexities or the best context in which to use it. In this paper, we define, classify and characterize distributed wikis. We identify three classes of distributed wiki systems, each using a different collaboration model and distribution scheme for its pages: highly available wikis, decentralized social wikis and federated wikis. We classify existing distributed wikis according to these classes. We detail their underlying complexities and social and technical motivations. We also highlight some directions for research and opportunities for new systems with original social and technical motivations.

“…In product design, a large amount of lesson-learned knowledge resources collected in an enterprise may be accumulated easily through certain mechanism of knowledge accumulation based on previous studies by standard wiki technology. 16–19 However, when engineers want to reuse the accumulated knowledge in wikis, the existing wiki technologies and systems show limitations that only a simple keyword-based search mechanism is available. 20 The keyword-based search methods are looking whether keywords in a user query match the content of web pages, which suffer from the vague-meaning problem that is created by the following causes: 21 First, keyword-based search methods are not able to understand the meaning of a user query.…”

In the process of product design, it is usually difficult for engineers to find and reuse others’ lesson-learned knowledge, which is usually not well collected by an enterprise. This study proposes a model of an inner-enterprise wiki system integrated with a semantic search framework to support the accumulation and reuse of lesson-learned knowledge in product design. The accumulated wiki web pages in inner-enterprise wiki system can be viewed as a large lesson-learned knowledge repository, which stores engineers’ wisdom of product design and is the basis of semantic search for knowledge reuse. The semantic-based knowledge search mechanism of inner-enterprise wiki system is presented, which can overcome limitations of traditional keyword-based search in existing wiki systems. To validate our approach, an inner-enterprise wiki system implementation is introduced and some experiments are done. Effectiveness of semantic search mechanism in inner-enterprise wiki system is verified from several viewpoints such as comparison of precision and recall between proposed method and a keyword-based one. The performance of utilizing inner-enterprise wiki system for knowledge reuse is evaluated and the results show that inner-enterprise wiki system can improve the performance of learning. The promising results confirm the feasibility of our approach in helping engineers to better reuse needed lesson-learned knowledge.
