The Evolution of Social Ontologies

The idea of representing knowledge in formal models gets more and more popular. Since these models are understandable and thus processable by machines, the retrieval of knowledge is facilitated. Furthermore, ontology based systems use these models to provide meaningful and semantically enriched data. The success of Web 2.0 approaches has shown, that communities contribute collaboratively their knowledge to the web. The approach of this work is to understand and support collaborative modeling of structured knowledge by communities
