> SMW is complicated.

Now and then I hear voices about SMW being complicated but I'm not clear about the connotation of what the word "complicated" in connection with SMW entitles. I would appreciate some insights as what "complicated" means for a user.

Is it that one has to make some simple annotations either by hand or template or is about queries and/or possible knowledge inference through a query? Finding a good data model is always challenging but that alone doesn't make SMW complicated (any system that uses attributive declarations has to strive for a consistent model to represent knowledge entities (aka facts) and has to engage in similar modelling).

Is it about entering/editing data? If so, editing is not the primary job of SMW.
