A wiki is more of a documentation system than a knowledge base. I think some |
| 6 |
KBs could very well employ a wiki as back-technology for writing the |
| 7 |
articles. But a KB is more strict in its writing: it can have a fixed layout |
| 8 |
(like "title, synopsis, environment, analysis, solution" [1]), allows for |
| 9 |
additional metadata (keywords, references to other articles, point-system |
| 10 |
per query, ...) and focuses more on its search technology than on the |
| 11 |
writing. |
