Websites using Semantic MediaWiki

A variety of websites and projects using Semantic MediaWiki are collected on this website to showcase the many strengths of the software and its creative uses in a diversity of fields. The list is not intended to be exhaustive but represents selections made by the community, including websites that have previously been featured as Wiki of the Month, an initiative which ran from 2010 to 2015, and wikis of interest to digital humanities. Know of an interesting semantic wiki that should be included here? Feel free to add it yourself.

Living Poets

https://livingpoets.dur.ac.uk

The aim of this project is to develop a new approach to classical poetry, based on how listeners and readers imagined the Greek and Roman poets. From antiquity to the present, people have produced a vast range of narrative and visual representations of the ancient poets, drawing from three main sources: their understanding of classical poetry, other representations, and their own personal, lived experience. The main contention of this project is that representations of the ancient poets tell us something crucial – not about the actual poets of Greece and Rome, but about their readers. Classical poetry has been transmitted for over two millennia: this project focuses on the people who recognised its value, ensured its survival, and reconfigured its relevance for their particular contexts. These people often had a powerful sense of the poets’ presence: they saw the ancient poets in dreams, had imaginary conversations with them, made fun of them, wrote biographies and anecdotes, produced portraits, and visited the places where they were supposed to have lived and died. An analysis of how readers imagined the Greek and Roman poets offers a powerful means of investigating the shifting social and cultural value of classical poetry from antiquity to the present. The project is directed by Prof. Barbara Graziosi and funded by the European Research Council.
