Paper, was published by Murray Altheim at 2008-08-15

This paper is mainly about how to design informal ontologies for wikis.

As with any document collection, as a wiki grows its need for some form of organization increases proportionately. It’s not uncommon for wikis to have hundreds or even thousands of pages, without even considering the rather atypical Wikipedia (which as of July 2008 claims “approximately ten million articles in 253 languages”). Yet Wikipedia has no explicit classification scheme.

I like the easy but powerful way of merging Topic Maps to extend and combine existing knowledge bases. Thus I see high potential in distributed environments where peer to peer solutions may open the gates to the real Web 3.0.
