The KWARC research group conducts research in knowledge representation with a view towards applications in knowledge management. We extend techniques from [formal methods](http://kwarc.info/research/formal-methods/) so that they can be used in settings where formalization is either infeasible or too costly. We concentrate on developing techniques for marking up the [structural semantics](http://kwarc.info/structural-semantics) in technical documents. This level of markup allows for offering interesting [knowledge management services](http://kwarc.info/research/kminteract/) without forcing the author to fully formalize the document contents, we are working on methods for [semi-automated semantization](http://kwarc.info/research/semantization/). All in all, the research in the KWARC group is summarized in the schema below, which can be read as a pipeline from foundations (on the bottom) to applications (on the top).
