It looks promising for what the Wiki reorganizers are currently trying to do. "While articles in MediaWiki are just plain texts, SMW allows users to add structured data, comparable to the data one would usually store in a database. SMW uses the fact that such data is already contained in many articles: users just need to "mark" the according places so that the system can extract the relevant data without "understanding" the rest of the text. With this information, SMW can help to search, organise, browse, evaluate, and share the wiki's content." It would be particularly good if integrated into the templates. > -- > Drew Einhorn > _______________________________________________ > Library mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/library > > -- Edward Cherlin End Poverty at a Profit by teaching children business http://www.EarthTreasury.org/ "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."--Alan Kay _______________________________________________ Library mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/library
