Abstract

This paper introduces metadata issues in the framework of the WICRI project, a network of semantic wikis for communities in research and innovation, in which a wiki can be related to an institution, a research field or a regional entity. Metadata and semantic items play the strategic role to handle the quality and the consistency of the network, that must deal with the "wiki way of working" in which a metadata specialist and a scientist can work altogether, at the same time, on the same pages. Some first experiments of designing metadata are presented. A wiki, encyclopedia of metadata, is proposed, and related technical issues are discussed.
