AcaWiki Named Wiki of the Month by Semantic MediaWiki

Cambridge, MA — Tuesday, 05 July 2011 - The AcaWiki project has been named
Wiki of the Month for July 2011 by the Semantic MediaWiki community. The
honor highlights the unique features of the AcaWiki website (
http://acawiki.org), and demonstrates growing interest in the project's
mission to improve global access and exposure to academic research and
scientific findings.

Semantic MediaWiki (http://semantic-mediawiki.org/) is the free, open-source
extension to MediaWiki which allows a website to store and annotate semantic
data within its wiki pages. Semantic MediaWiki is used on hundreds of public
and private, corporate  and not-for-profit wikis around the world.

AcaWiki leverages Semantic MediaWiki in order to facilitate the creation,
organization and cataloging of bibliographic data for research paper
summaries. Semantic MediaWiki gives AcaWiki's users an easy way to enter
publication information for academic papers, as well as to add tags and
categorize the paper by subject matter.

AcaWiki is the ninth wiki to be chosen by the Semantic MediaWiki community
as Wiki of the Month. For the month of July 2011, AcaWiki will be featured
prominently on the front page of the Semantic MediaWiki website, and has an
article devoted to its features (http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/AcaWiki
).

The honor comes as AcaWiki has just kicked off a summer-long campaign to
solicit summaries for the Top 100 Academic Papers across 20 research
disciplines. You can find out more about the campaign and how to contribute
at http://acawiki.org/AcaWiki:Top_100_Papers.
