Help:Associated revision

Semantic MediaWiki stores its data in an independent data repository and operates self-contained, yet it requires to interact with MediaWiki and its content objects.

Content (such as unstructured text, XML, or JSON) is stored in MediaWiki as part of a wikipage, any change to its content is recorded as a separate revision. Semantic MediaWiki uses the revision of the page content as source to build its data repository.

The ID of the revision that represents the latest content is assignedCiteRef::smw:gh:3390 to the entity that is identified as subject in Semantic MediaWiki for the wikipage and is called associated revision. It should be noted that subobjects (or sub entities) are not assigned any associated revision because they are only linked through its parent (aka. page) to the content representation hereby can only exist as part of a parent child relationship.

Only page entities are tracked in Semantic MediaWiki with an associated revision where the ID (the one give in MediaWiki and the one associated in Semantic MediaWiki) should always match (also in case some extension like Approved Revision etc. is used to manipulate the revision state) to draw a conclusion that the textual content is source for the data stored in Semantic MediaWiki.

Technical note
The  field in the   database table contains the associated revision.
