Hi Cavila, nice to meet you! Yes, we provide a sparql endpoint for Europeana's EDM data, currently on trial basis.
Hi Yaron! The more I read about SMW the more I think it's the right platform for ResearchSpace.
- The reason I want to explore SMW+ is mostly WYSIWYG: I am told repeatedly that art researchers cannot learn Wikitext nohow noway.
- WikiMedia has started a major dev effort to create a fully-featured and safe visual editor: wikipedia:Wikipedia:VisualEditor. But it still doesn't handle a lot of stuff.
- If we can't revive Halo's WYSIWYG, I guess we can just go with the pattern "form on top, followed by a free-text field, that uses some WYSIWYG editor"
- The client at BM is also fond of pretty-looking UIs (which a MW skin would cover)
- So you may want to emphasize WYSIWYG and skinning options in your brief.
