SMWCon Fall 2017/SlideWiki - A collaborative platform for creating and sharing semantically annotated slide-decks

SlideWiki (https://slidewiki.org) allows the collaborative construction, editing, sharing, semantic annotation and re-use of slide-decks. In this presentation I will discuss the main aims of SlideWiki and its main functionalities (the audience will be encouraged to experiment), with an emphasis on the semantic functionalities in the system.
