semantic::core - A look back into seven years of enterprise class MediaWiki and an outlook on the future

A
Alexander Gesinn

The document provides an overview of the development and evolution of 'semantic:: core', a wiki distribution based on MediaWiki designed for enterprise use. It discusses early challenges such as limited scalability and automation abilities, and highlights improvements made over the years, including a shift to a fully automated, multi-OS compatible setup. Additionally, it describes the modularity and reusability of the semantic applications created for better collaboration and documentation management.
