Indeed, there is some effort on the topic of semantic wikis in the
context of Nepomuk. One of the results is the support of semantic syntax
in WikiModel as described at [1], and a preliminary WikiModel editor in
Eclipse, SWID [2].

The approach is similar to semantic-mediawiki, using a different syntax:

London is capital %capitalOf(England).

The WikiModel syntax also supports block properties:

%worksIn (((
   %type [Company]
   %name Cognium Systems
   %address (((
   ....
   )))
   %description Cognium Systems is a
   semantic web company...
)))

Using this type of syntax, "objects" can be edited as embedded wiki
documents.
