More and more semantic information has become available as RDF data recently, with the linked open data cloud as a prominent example. However, participating in the Semantic Web is cumbersome. Typically several steps are involved in using semantic knowledge. Information is first acquired, e.g. by information extraction, crowd sourcing or human experts. Then ontologies are published and distributed. Users may apply reasoning and otherwise modify their local ontology instances. However, currently these steps are treated separately and although each involves human effort, nearly no synergy effect is used and it is also mostly a one way process, e.g. user feedback hardly flows back into the main ontology version. Similarly, user cooperation is low.
