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.

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.

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.
