Revising the OpenMath 3 Content Dictionaries with SWiM
The semantic wiki SWiM 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.
The purpose of this case study is twofold:
- supporting the OpenMath developers with a tool that is more advanced than accessing the OpenMath Subversion repository with a text or XML editor
Challenges:
- capturing the workflows of OpenMath content dictionary editing and supporting them
- motivating the OpenMath developers to actually use the wiki interface by pointing out the benefits
- seamless and lossless data exchange between the wiki and the Subversion repository
Successes:
So far:
- all OpenMath CDs editable in the wiki
- OpenMath developers started to adopt the discussion and argumentation features
Lessons learned:
