Hello Devs,
by reading that another Question crossed my mind: Have you ever thought of giving XWiki also some semantic capabilities?
I mean the Idea of Semantic Wikis is not new: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_wiki
In Xwiki you could just put a Link in a 2-tuple form for letting it fulfil the "subject - predicate - object"-Association, with the Subject as the Site where the link is set and the Object the Site where the link is pointing to, so only the predicate is missing.
And sometimes I really think it could make Sense. Especially in Xwiki where you could exploit Information stored that way directly via Scripts and Applications developed in XWiki itself.
The question is not relevant to this topic (Query Language), so you'd better to start new tread. But anyway, there are some effort, I think nepomuk.semanticdesktop.org as possible example. But I don't know much on it.
About links, this question to Vincent: can we add some meta data to link? So we can use these links later for semantic needs? :) for example (semantic-mediawiki) http://semanticweb.org/wiki/London : [[capital of::England]] "capital of" is predicate, England is target page.
The answer is yes. I was about to send a proposal to modify links since I have that need internally in order to support linking to images. The idea is to have this new format: [[label>reference>property1=value1 property2 = value2...]] For now the "known" properties would be target and image: [[label>reference>target="_new" image="myimage.png"]] But it supports any number of properties. Will that fit your use case? Thanks -Vincent
