| Abstract | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wiki Systems are currently used in many fields, and in a variety of
different application contexts. These include documentation, reporting, project management, online glossaries and dictionaries, discussion groups, or general information systems. To a large extent, their wide-spread acceptance is due to their simplicity and collaborative nature, allowing easy, article-centric work on hypertextual content in workgroups, as well as to the fact that they have proven suitable even in more specialized application environments. Specific environments have specialized needs, however, that may pose additional requirements outside of the scope of the general-purpose nature of the default Wiki implementations. Our project addresses the question of how content structure, interaction, and navigation in a Wiki system can be adapted and improved, in order to better suit the requirements of environments where the node-centric hypertext paradigm alone may no longer suffice. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
