ISICIL: Semantics and Social Networks for Business Intelligence

Abstract

International audienceThe ISICIL initiative (Information Semantic Integration through Communities of Intelligence onLine) mixes viral new web applications with formal semantic web representations and processes to integrate them into corporate practices for technological watch, business intelligence and scientific monitoring. The resulting open source platform proposes three functionalities: (1) a semantic social bookmarking platform monitored by semantic social network analysis tools, (2) a system for semantically enriching folksonomies and linking them to corporate terminologies and (3) semantically augmented user interfaces , activity monitoring and reporting tools for business intelligence

WikiNEXT

“…With these technological choices, we tried to minimize the number of languages and the number of data formats used in 22 http://schema.org/ and http://schema-rdfs.org have been created by the main search engine vendors and propose several RDF/S schemas for representing persons, articles, etc. 23 http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-rdfa-primer/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-lite/ 24 http://mongodb.org 25 http://nodejs.org 26 http://www.json.org, a text based notation for JavaScript objects.…”

“…In the first category we find, for example, the Halo 10 extension of Semantic Media Wiki which proposes forms, auto-completion, a WYSIWYG editor, the integration of audios and videos files, and the integration of a SPARQL endpoint, or more complex extensions such as MoKi [25] (focuses on enterprise modeling) and OWiki [24] (ontology-driven generation of wiki content), also based on Semantic Media Wiki. In the second category we find the KiWi project (Knowledge in Wiki [21]), which involved authors of IkeWiki, or SweetDeki [22] the wiki that succeeded to SweetWiki [4], and has been integrated in the ISICIL ANR project [22]. These projects tried to put semantic wikis in an industrial context, including the issue of project management.…”

“…But articles are also containers: they can hold metadata created manually or added automatically by an application (see Figure 3). WikiNEXT uses schema.org 22 vocabularies to describe the default structure of articles, users' details, etc. Each article is represented semantically as a named graph made of RDFa/RDFalite annotations, whose name is based on its URI (Uniform Resource Identifiers).…”

A wiki way of programming for the web of data

“…These metadata can be exploited to add new functionalities to the wiki: augmented navigation, visualization of metadata, search and retrieval or reasoning. The SPARQL language 6 is often used internally for querying RDF data. Today, semantic wikis are still active and there are new solutions, such as the Halo 7 extension of Semantic Media Wiki, that proposes forms, auto-completion, a WYSIWYG editor; or more complex extensions such as MoKi [8] (focuses on enterprise modeling) and OWiki [7] (ontology-driven generation of wiki content), also based on Semantic Media Wiki.…”

The KiWi project (Knowledge in Wiki [5]), successor of IkeWiki, or SweetDeki [6] the wiki that succeeded to SweetWiki [3], and has been integrated in the ISICIL ANR project [6] are more like Content Management Systems with semantic enhancements. In the next section we present WikiNEXT, which is a mix between a semantic wiki and a Web-based IDE.…”
