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.
Indeed, there is some effort on the topic of semantic wikis in the
context of Nepomuk. One of the results is the support of semantic
syntax
in WikiModel as described at [1], and a preliminary WikiModel editor
in
Eclipse, SWID [2].
The approach is similar to semantic-mediawiki, using a different
syntax:
London is capital %capitalOf(England).
The WikiModel syntax also supports block properties:
%worksIn (((
%type [Company]
%name Cognium Systems
%address (((
....
)))
%description Cognium Systems is a
semantic web company...
)))
Using this type of syntax, "objects" can be edited as embedded wiki
documents.
What I'd love to do in the future is add the ability to represent
XWiki document objects using this feature. Once I'm done with all the
basic syntax element for the new rendering I'll send some proposal to
add semantic properties to documents.
Thanks
