@johl@mastodon.xyz @simulo@hci.social But what is the semantic mechanization good for in the first place? I want to see my wikis encouraging more of people + people, and there are so many ways to make this happen: more resources going to the authors so they can afford to do this work, more collaborative software features like simultaneous drafting, more diverse modalities and ontologies.

@johl@mastodon.xyz @simulo@hci.social To take one specific example, I want to see authors able to collaboratively translate on multiple wikis at once, which is close to the dream of Abstract Wikipedia, and possibly achievable with similar tooling, but perhaps with a subtle shift of focus. Some arbitrarily chosen but concrete features in this direction: Readers see multiple languages at once with alignment and deduplication [eg. https://aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-main.384/]. And [see amire80] global templates through WikiFunctions.
