215<h2 id="toc0"><span>Kempies helps you build your social web site.</span></h2>
216<p>Wikis are about people, the way they organize, the data they own. One of Kempies' key visions: a global, multinational open knowledge database of art and antique objects, built as a <em>semantic wiki</em>. We want experts from insurance, auction houses, museums, law enforcement, and civil society, to come together to document the world's heritage. Art objects, materials, classifications: a semantic web that stores the knowledge of the whole community, open and accessible forever. Interested ? Join us at <a href="http://www.kempies.org">Kempies.org</a></p>
217<p>We're experts in building wiki-based social web sites for organizations, events, workgroups.</p>
218<p>In 2006 we co-founded <a href="http://www.wikidot.com">Wikidot.com</a> and helped it become the world's 3rd largest wiki farm, with over 900,000 registered users, 125,000 wikis, and 40M unique visitors per year. Wikidot.com lets anyone start a social web site or wiki in a few minutes. The Wikidot.com <a href="http://community.wikidot.com">community site</a> handles thousands of requests for help each day, using a mix of forums, guides, and howtos. How to use the power of Wiki to build large self-steering communities.</p>
