As a result of the SoftWiki project the SoftWiki competence network was founded on the 8th of September 2009.

SoftWiki – Distributed, End-user Centered Requirements Engineering for Evolutionary Software Development

The aim of the cooperative research project SoftWiki is to support the collaboration of all stakeholders in software development processes in particular with respect to software requirements. Potentially very large and spatially distributed user groups shall be enabled to collect, semantically enrich, classify and aggregate software requirements. The solution will be founded on the Semantic Web standards for terminological knowledge representation. The implementation will base on generic means of semantic collaboration using next generation Web user interfaces (in the spirit of Social Software and the Web 2.0) thus fostering completely new means of Requirements Engineering with very large user groups.

National research project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, part of the research initiative “Software Engineering 2006”
