Proceedings of the Fourth Workshop on Semantic Wikis – The Semantic Wiki Web 6th European Semantic Web Conference Hersonissos, Crete, Greece, June 2009 edited by Christoph Lange June 1, 2009 Preface Dear Reader, after a successful year, the semantic wiki community is meeting again to have their 4th workshop. A lot has happened after the previous workshop: People have invested further research and development into existing systems to make them more mature: Three out of 15 presentations in this workshop are about evolutions of systems presented in 2008. The community has further grown and become aware of new application areas, mainly thanks to the Ontolog teleconference series on semantic wikis1. Another indication of maturity is that, while research is still as creative and dynamic as ever, implementation of semantic wiki technologies largely concentrates on few successful platforms that are extensible by plugins, most notably (Semantic) MediaWiki and KiWi (8 out of 15 talks in this workshop). And these technologies are not necessarily limited to wikis. Using a wiki is not an end in itself, but, depending on the application, any semantic social software will get the task done: Systems that are no longer called “wikis” have adopted key principles of wikis, such as ubiquitous interlinking and easy collaboration. Thus, the semantic wiki community is giving their findings back into the larger Semantic Web. In 2006, when our first workshop took place, many semantic web researchers jumped onto the semantic wiki bandwagon, as they were hip. Now, semantic wikis rather serve as incubators for testing and evaluating new approaches and technologies in a manageable setting, before releasing them to the Semantic Web. We wish to thank all authors and reviewers who spent their nights and days con- tributing to this topic and thereby made this workshop possible. Many thanks also to the ESWC organisation team, which set the stage for this workshop as one out of 8. Let us continue to bring the lively wiki spirit to the Semantic Web and enjoy reading the proceedings.

The motivation of semantic wikis is to make acquisition, maintenance, and mining of formal knowledge simpler, faster, and more flexible. However, most existing semantic wikis have a very technical in- terface and are restricted to a relatively low level of expressivity. In this paper, we explain how AceWiki uses controlled English — concretely At- tempto Controlled English (ACE) — to provide a natural and intuitive interface while supporting a high degree of expressivity. We introduce re- cent improvements of the AceWiki system and user studies that indicate that AceWiki is usable and useful. 1 Introduction We present an approach how semantic wikis and controlled natural language can be brought together. This section gives a short introduction into the fields of semantic wikis and controlled natural languages. 1.1 Semantic Wikis Semantic wikis are a relatively new field of research that started in 2004 when semantic wikis were introduced in [16] describing
