I still have a feeling Semantic MediaWiki is overkill for my limited
needs. I would be happy with treating the data as unstructured 'blobs'
which  can be:

- entered using the normal wiki editor, and follow normal wiki rules for
display
- be hidden or exposed to users depending on their group
- be returned in response to a query (just returning a string for
parsing at the receiving end would be fine)

I would like to be able to make queries such as 'return all blobs of
type x from pages in category y', with the querier responsible for
parsing the data.

And I would also like to be able to have a script which does  'overwrite
any blob of type x on page y with the following string'.
