Semantic Wiki for Professionals <P>

The second generation of Wiki technology enables community-driven management of relational data resources.  As cited in Nature News, Knewco's WikiProteins is the first Wiki Professional serving scientists working on biology and disease (www.wikiprofessional.info).  What's next? WikiAuthors, WikiChemicals, WikiClinical, and more. The exponential increase of data and information calls for more structural involvement of the scientific community at large in the annotation process. The experimental Wiki system Knewco is now jointly developing allows for "Community Science" (active, close to real-time scientific communication) with "Community Annotation" (collection and annotation of scientific "facts").  Learn how the new semantic wiki technology will affect scientific research and communication.
