This is a paper written by Tobias Kuhn and was presented at SemWiki2008. It describes how AceWiki (which is a semantic wiki) enables easy ontology management using the controlled natural language Attempto Controlled English.

[edit] Abstract

AceWiki is a prototype that shows how a semantic wiki using controlled natural language - Attempto Controlled English (ACE) in our case - can make ontology management easy for everybody. Sentences in ACE can automatically be translated into first-order logic, OWL, or SWRL. AceWiki integrates the OWL reasoner Pellet and ensures that the ontology is always consistent. Previous results have shown that people with no background in logic are able to add formal knowledge to AceWiki without being instructed or trained in advance.
