Abstract

Two notable trends currently impacting biology curationare 1) the use of wikis to input, store, and disseminate research data and 2) the development of semantic technologies to facilitate higher-order data description and exploration. These separate developments, when brought together, have the potential to deliver on one promise of the "semantic web": structured, self-described data used to further scientific c research and analysis. The Semantic MediaWiki [5] extension, when used in conjunction with Semantic Forms [4], provides an avenue to create a semantically-driven, community-powered research platform on the web.
