Thread:Semantic-mediawiki.org:Community portal/Mixing properties with categories/reply

Please have a look at Help:Category vs. property and Help:Adding_subobjects (it should give you some insights about the category vs property issue).

> "property:x"="category:x"

property:x is about the thing x, while category:x is about a class x.

In your "world" ("world" in a sense of the wiki that hosts your content and ultimately your facts model) you can make it appear to be represent the same entity of knowledge but for SMW (in core) a category and a property are distinguished hence not mixed with each other.

> How can i make that when someone fills a form with a property name which is also a category(apart from property", it appears also as category?

This should be possible to achieve in your template with some if/else statements. Please remember, input is done by the form but the actually annotation is added by the template (after the input processing has finished).
