WikiProfessional (Wiki for Professionals) was an attempt to create a web-based research environment for semantic searching, providing an intuitive tool for analyzing and relating concepts.[1][2][3][4]

When data is entered, the system semantically analyzed and recognized co-occurrences between different entities. The results were visualized through a "Knowlet,"[5] which is a visual representation of semantic distance between associated entities. This Knowlet is then used to notify persons that have subscribed to these entities, enabling a rapid data interchange between collaborators.

The major focus was

proteins, using a portal named WikiProteins.[6][7]
It contained over a hundred million entries, "melding some of the key biomedical databases into a single information resource". Sources included:

The project never passed the open beta test phase. It was operated by

Leiden University Medical Centre
. Knewco was intending to profit from WikiProfessionals by charging some users (such as drug firms) for "premium services", for example incorporating a private version of the system with in-house data.

After the project disappeared, a group called the Concept Web Alliance[8] formed to try to rebuild a similarly linked database. This became ConceptWiki[9][10] and the Nanopublication metadata format.[11]
