This document summarizes lessons learned from developing semantic wikis. It discusses how semantic wikis differ from traditional wikis by embedding structured metadata and propagating that metadata via semantic queries. It then outlines key features for different user groups, including improved data generation and propagation tools for end users, and light-weight data modeling and fast prototyping for developers. Remaining issues are also discussed, such as managing public and personal data, improving scalability, and data portability and protection across multiple wikis.
