  2. The wiki concept • Wiki is a software that enables users to collaboratively create and edit web content directly, using a web browser. • The most famous wiki site is Wikipedia, the web-based free encyclopedia.

  3. Milwiki • At the Armed Forces C2 Development Centre in Enköping, FOI has introduced MilWiki, a wiki for military knowledge base management. • MilWiki is based on open source software, extended to handle geographical information. • Milwiki was used in an exercise at Demo 06 Vår. • The results of the experiment are documented in FOI Memo 1711.

  4. Civil crisis scenario • In a large-scale civil crisis scenario, normal sources and paths of information will not function optimally. • London bombings 2005: • The public used blogs and photo sharing on the Internet to share observations and experiences. • The page “7 July London bombings” was created on Wikipedia and then continuously updated. • Similar behavior appeared during hurricane Katrina in August 2005. • A non-public wiki for on-the-fly information gathering could be valuable to authorities trying to create a picture of a chaotic situation.
