Wikisphere is a framework for collaborative WIKIs based on semantic data and page ownership

Wikisphere is a framework finalized to provide third-party WIKIs which develop the concept of Enterprise Mediawiki with state-of-the-art tools and resources to maximize their productivity and interoperability of data. Wikisphere is inspired by the following principles or implements the following features:

  1. Separation between management of data (inserting, updating, managing information) and their use and presentation. Mediawiki is used as a database administration and visualization system, where data can be created and shaped in a collaborative way, while the mass use is delegated to single-page applications or apps
  2. Focus on structured data (specifically through the use of Semantic MediaWiki and PageForms) and their interoperability throughout the Wikisphere network
  3. Page ownership, as a mean to let specific users or groups to transparently manage specific set of pages, instead than as a mean to conceal sensitive information


Such principles determine a specific set of features or can be extended with corollaries. For instance the point 1) implies that the skin used has a secondary importance, being only used by editors, or the practical side and robustness must be given precedence to appearance, and the latter should not diverge too much from standard WIKIs, represented by Wikipedia and Mediawiki.org.
