SWiM, the Semantic Wiki for Mathematical Knowledge Management, is now being used for the revision of the OpenMath 3 Content Dictionaries. The wiki at wiki.openmath.org contains the latest draft versions of these content dictionaries. Anybody can browse and discuss. The OpenMath 3 developers can also edit. This paper explains how the system works.

Detailed description of the ongoing case study

The Inter2Geo project has released final versions of deliverables on an educational ontology for geometric competencies and on the metadata format it will adopt in the future. Quotes from the abstracts:

I'd like to invite you to participate in a little survey on mathematical knowledge items, possible issues with them, and how to solve issues. It will take around 10 minutes to answer the questions.

The results will be used in order to improve the mathematical argumentation ontology that is used in the semantic wiki SWiM and thus the assistance in tracking and solving issues there.

SWiM, an OMDoc-based semantic wiki for mathematics, has been released in version 0.2.

New features are:

1. a completely redesigned and improved user interface, mostly thanks to the hard work Sebastian Schaffert did on IkeWiki

Dear JEM interested parties,

thus far we have not found it so I am hereby launching the quest for a repository of mathematical competencies.

Once could say that national curriculum standards contain so but this is done a very informal way so we, in intergeo, are looking for something more repository like.

thanks in advance
