Semantic Wikis and Disaster Relief Operations (XML.com)
O'Reilly's XML.com has
an article on the use of semantic wikis for support disaster response and humanitarian efforts.
"

However, a major drawback of the Web currently is that its content is not machine-readable, a shortcoming that is addressed by the Semantic Web approach."
