Abstract
We will present in this paper how to ensure the creation, the validation and the sharing of ideas by using a Semantic Wiki approach. We describe the system called Wiki-I which is used by engineers to allow them to formalize their ideas during the research solutions activities. Wiki-I is based on an ontology of the innovation domain which allows to structure the wiki pages and to store the knowledge posted by the engineers. In this paper, we will explain how Wiki-I ensures the reliability of the innovative ideas thanks to an idea of evaluation process. After explaining the interest of the use of semantic wikis in innovation management approach, we describe the architecture of Wiki-I with its semantic functionalities. At the end of the paper, we prove the effectiveness of Wiki-I with an ideas evaluation example in the case of students challenge for innovation.
