I am not sure if this is what you need, but I have found http://twiki.org/ http://twiki.org/ to be useful. Drupal is another solution - can be made into a wiki with a few additions (which, however, can add up to quite a lot of extra time). hopefully this helps, deyan

I was also going to suggest twiki but I don't have any first hand experience with it. I have also looked at Roundup in the past. http://roundup.sourceforge.net/ http://roundup.sourceforge.net/ WikidBASE is a fairly new but also in the same vein. http://projects.nickblundell.org.uk/wikidbase http://projects.nickblundell.org.uk/wikidbase If a hosted solution is acceptable you can look at Dabble DB or Coghead http://dabbledb.com/ http://dabbledb.com/ http://www.coghead.com/ http://www.coghead.com/

We use TWiki very heavily. We use it for documentation, and not (much) structured data, but I have noted that it has far better support for structured data than any other wikis I've used. It has a large number of data imports (including from Excel and other spreadsheets), and some good form management tools. So, you can build a form for entering structured data, and that structured data goes into the wiki (and can be edited on the same form or directly in wikitext). It's quite intimidating from a customization perspective, but since it has so many features built in, you probably won't need to do a lot of coding to make it do what you want. Theming it can be a challenge, though. I also don't love the syntax. But you can't beat it for features. It does everything any other wiki does, plus a bunch of other app building types of functionality that don't exist anywhere else (or at least, nowhere else I've seen).

I've used twiki a bit, and my main gripe with it was that it was pretty slow. And there were some issues with mod_perl if I recall correctly.
