WikiMob: wiki mobile interaction

Published: 08 September 2008 Publication History

Abstract

This paper describes a feasible way to integrate Wiki-based projects with the access from mobile devices, in order to contribute to the convergence between Internet Services in the new mobile telecommunications space.
Vodafone R&D, as one of the leading telecommunications operators, launches this initiative due to the social phenomenon Wikipedia, supported by the Wikimedia Foundation, has meant for the Internet community. This is the most successful project based on a wiki environment and thanks to it, collaborative tools like wikis have become in the perfect artifact to spread the knowledge across the Internet. Additionally, we contribute to the creation of open tools to access contents published under a free content license.
