Ward Cunningham defines wikis as “The simplest online database that could possibly work”. On the other side the Semantic Web “provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries”. Both are speaking about data. The idea of Semantic Wiki simply joins the two visions.

Anyway, thanks for “Platypus, the grandfather of all semantic wikis”. :-)
