Wiki Linking Using Ontologies #

Last weekend, I posted some notes on MarkupFreeAutoLinkingWiki. The idea is that instead of relying on user syntax for identifying and linking to Wiki pages, the Wiki could do a linguistic scan of the text and link words based on a site-specific ontology. (242)

I posted my notes mainly as a BlueSkyIdea, but it ended up generating a ton of discussion at the CollaborationCollaboratory. That discussion made me realize that this idea may not be all that blue sky after all, and that -- given the proper PurpleWiki:DataBase design -- we're not all that far off from implementing something like this in PurpleWiki.
