  Considering the evolution of the semantic wiki engine based platforms, two
main approaches could be distinguished: Ontologies for Wikis (OfW) and Wikis
for Ontologies (WfO). OfW vision requires existing ontologies to be imported.
Most of them use the RDF-based (Resource Description Framework) systems in
conjunction with the standard SQL (Structured Query Language) database to
manage and query semantic data. But, relational database is not an ideal type
of storage for semantic data. A more natural data model for SMW (Semantic
MediaWiki) is RDF, a data format that organizes information in graphs rather
than in fixed database tables. This paper presents an ontology based
architecture, which aims to implement this idea. The architecture mainly
includes three layered functional architectures: Web User Interface Layer,
Semantic Layer and Persistence Layer.
