KiWi is a flexible platform for building semantic social media applications according to wiki principles. It provides core functionality like editing, versioning, tagging, and search that can be used across applications. KiWi also allows applications to share content and features. Existing applications on the KiWi platform demonstrate its capabilities, including a semantic wiki, tag-based content geolocator, and personalized dashboards. The goal of KiWi is to combine knowledge management, wiki philosophies, and semantic web technologies into an adaptable system aligned with how people work.
