Our Passion
MediaWiki
MediaWiki (MW) is a free, open-source software – the wiki software that powers Wikipedia and many more projects – that lets you collectively and directly edit content.
MediaWiki is a full-fledged framework, in conjunction with a lot of spin-off extensions, that can turn a website into a powerful and flexible knowledge management system for best collaboration. All information created within MediaWiki can easily be structured and published allowing users to benefit from it.
Semantic MediaWiki
Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) is a free, open-source extension to MediaWiki – the wiki software that powers Wikipedia and many more projects – that lets you store and query data within the wiki's pages.
Semantic MediaWiki is also a full-fledged framework, in conjunction with many spin-off extensions, that can further refine a wiki into a even more powerful and flexible knowledge management system. All data created within Semantic MediaWiki can easily be exported or published via the Semantic Web, allowing other software systems to use this data seamlessly.
