Interesting, David, you've just described what we call "navigation nodes" in OOHDM/SHDM... These are "ad-hoc" "views" (in the sense of "assembled objects") made out of the core concepts (triples if you wish). Such "assemblies" are determined by the tasks you wish to support. Incidentally, we still distinguish them from the actual interface, which is yet another level of abstraction, where you decide how you want to present these "assemblies" (nodes) to the user. In other words, what you present may include part, a single or several such nodes, and these nodes are "ad-hoc" assemblies of basic information elements (resources). But, at this point, I'm a bit lost as to where the "wiki" is in this discussion - is it just the fact that you can edit collectively a set of triples? This is becoming increasingly more like what we define as a general hypermedia application (in this case, using the Semantic Web as a basic vocabulary do describe the data and concepts, as we do in SHDM)! -D
