SMW+ Architecture[edit]
- Goals still valid
- Boost Web 3.0
- Help open software
- Promote S/MW
- Create baseline semantic tools for: search, ingestion, storage, annotation, gardening (bots), vocabularies & ontologies
- Create baseline tools for Mediawiki: installation, security, script manager, rich media
- Excellent process (Forums, Use-it-yourself wiki, unit testing, great user help/info)
- But
- Patched MW/SF code
- No documentation now
- Community support only
SMW+ Extensions[edit]
- Semantic extensions
- Enhanced Retrieval
- Halo ACL
- Rich media
- Rule knowledge
- Semantic comments
- Semantic gardening
- Semantic refactoring
- Semantic treeview
- Semantic result formats+
- SMW Halo
- Utility extensions
- ARC-2 library
- Automatic semantic forms
- Data import
- Script manager
- Triple store connector
- Wiki administration tool
- Wiki object model
- WYSIWYG (FCKEditor)
SMW+ Extensions Roadmap[edit]
- SMW+ Roadmap consists of two efforts:
- Deploy (not all) SMW+ extensions on MW 1.19+
- Re-create user-level information
- Extension re-deployment
- Key SMW+ Extensions: Enhanced Retrieval & Rich Media, Access Control List, Semantic Treeview, Collaboration, SMW Halo (Query Interface & Data Explorer); TSC (#sparql:) & Data Import
- Extensions to scavenge: Wiki Admin Tool (data model), WYSIWYG (annotation widget), Ontoprise Skin (menu), Script Manager, SMW Halo (Data Explorer, Query Interface), SRF+ (Simile interface)
- 'Extensions that are or seem to be "quick wins": ARC2, ASF, WOM, Collaboration, Data Import, Semantic Gardening & Treeview
Extensions that need FUNDING &/or technical help: Halo ACL, Enhanced Retrieval, Rich Media, SRF+, WYSIWYG
Future discussions[edit]
- SMW+ namespaces = Type:page-name (A Type namespace may best identify which of 5 different representations possible in SMW wikis, apply to instances)
- Deploy tools need annotated mw:Extension pages (put SMW on mediawiki.org?) & handle semantic 'bundles'
- Lucene/SOLR = SMW store plus SPARQL endpoint plus document parser (enhance SMW syntax for SOLR cores)
- Wiki security policies are not an issue, database policies are: need is clear for security-oriented exits in MW code
