WikiProfessional

WikiProfessional (Wiki for Professionals) is a web-based research environment for semantic searching, providing an intuitive tool for analyzing and relating concepts [cite web|url=http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v445/n7129/full/445691a.html|title=Key biology databases go wiki|author=Jim Giles|publisher=Nature|date=2007-02-15|accessdate=2007-11-12] [cite web|url=http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070215-8857.html|title=Meet the uber-wiki|author=John Timmer|publisher=ars technica|date=2007-02-15|accessdate=2007-11-12] [cite web|url=http://scienceroll.com/2007/04/06/web-30-and-medicine/|title=Web 3.0 and medicine|author=Bertalan Meskó|date=2007-04-06|accessdate=2007-11-12] [cite web|url=http://scienceroll.com/2007/09/05/wikiprofessional-alpha-testing-a-wiki-of-web-30/|title=WikiProfessional Alpha Testing: a wiki of web 3.0|author=Bertalan Meskó|date=2007-09-05|accessdate=2007-11-12] .

When data is entered, the system semantically analyzes and recognizes co-occurrences between different entities. The results are visualized through a Knowlet, which is a visual representation of semantic distance between associated entities. This Knowlet is then used to notify persons that have subscribed to these entities, enabling a rapid data interchange between collaborators.

The current focus is proteins using WikiProteins as knowledge portal. It contains over a hundred million entries, "melding some of the key biomedical databases into a single information resource".

* 245,000 Proteins from UniProt/Swiss-Prot
* 24,000 Gene Ontology terms from the GO Consortium
* 880,000 Concepts from UMLS/NLM
* 112,000,000 Unique sentences from Medline

The project, which is nearing the open beta test phase, is operated by [http://www.knewco.com Knewco] and led by initiator Barend Mons, a bioinformatician at the Erasmus MC and University Medical Centre. Knewco intends to profit from WikiProfessionals by charging some users (such as drug firms) for "premium services", for example incorporating a private version of the system with in-house data.
