The goal of this Hackathon is to work towards KiWi Version 2 which will be a more stable and modular system for enterprise application. The KiWi snow camp was aimed at interested developers or applied researchers with software engineering background. The snow camp had the following goals:

• get to know the KiWi 2 platform and how to develop semantic social media applications on top of it
• start the implementation of an application, plugin or module of your own choice that makes use of the KiWi technologies; examples:
  • a simple social media application
  • a semantic plugin for existing software (blog, wiki, social network, …) to offer advanced semantic technologies
  • a new module for the KiWi system that offers additional functionality (e.g. reasoning, annotation, search, …)
• get in touch with the KiWi developers to enable closer collaboration in the future
