Experiences with Semantic Wikis for Architectural Knowledge Management

Abstract

Abstract—In this paper, we reflect on our experiences with using semantic wikis for architectural knowledge management in two different contexts: e-government and distributed software development. Whereas our applications of semantic wikis in e-government focus on organizing and structuring architectural knowledge for reuse, the applications in distributed software development focus on searching and querying architectural knowledge. Yet, the emerging research challenges – alignment of knowledge models, knowledge versioning, change acknowledgements – are very similar.
