It enables intuitive authoring of semantic content, with an inline editing mode for editing RDF content, similar to WYSIWYG for text documents. It fosters social collaboration aspects by keeping track of changes, allowing to comment and discuss on any part of a knowledge base. Other features include a Linked Data server, a Linked Data client to fetch additional data from the data web, a Semantic Pingback client in order to receive and send back-linking requests and backend independence, which means data can be stored in a MySQL database as well as in a Virtuoso Triple Store. OntoWiki is easily extendible, since it features a sophisticated extension system and thus can be adapted to a variety of use cases.
