Abstract:
Among a huge number of web applications today the most interesting are those that form social and semantic networks. The further development of the Internet will most likely be based on a combination of socially oriented and semantically oriented technologies. At the same time, it is assumed that, due to the wider distribution, it is socially-oriented technologies that will take advantage of the second ones. The goal of such a merger should be to turn the modern Web into a Semantic Web. Wikis, which are specialized social networks, allow users without knowledge of web development to create and collectively edit pages with any information, including semantic. In addition, users can create linked data in them by setting links to other pages in wiki or outside, and the most advanced ones work through bots based on the wiki API. Thus, wikis contain everything you need to collect semantic data and attract an audience interested in the semantization of the Web. This paper proposes a semantic social software that extends the functionality of the MediaWiki engine.
