Abstract
Retrieving and integrating contents of different kinds is a complex task. Actually the web offers few examples of systems able to carry out such a task. This paper presents WikiArt, a system able to integrate three different kinds of information sources: a database, a wiki, and an ontology. All these three elements regard arts. Finally, WikiArt is able to generate automatically thematic paths to browse its contents thanks to an ad-hoc procedural knowledge base.
