Hi all, SMW 1.0 comes with a feature to announce your semantic data to Semantic Web search engine crawlers. This enables semantic search engines to work with your data, and it also spreads your content and URLs to some more places on the web.
Thus, if you run a public semantic wiki, you may want run the maintenance script SMW_pingSemWeb.php. Example: php SMW_pingSemWeb.php -h http://ontoworld.org -t ptsw,sind -h must be *your* domain, without any path (*not* http://ontoworld.org/wiki) -t is a list of services to notify, possible values currently are: ptsw http://pingthesemanticweb.com (this site nicely shows your input) sind http://sindice.com (allows searches, not tested) (you are of course free to unselect any of those, depending on which service you want to support; but both are closer to research efforts than to commercial use) More parameters (esp. start id/end id to continue cancelled runs) are documented in script file [1]. Maybe I should emphasise that the script does only point the services to your OWL/RDF sources, but it does not send any further data. So it will not expose any non-public information. Also none of the above services is affiliated with SMW or Karlsruhe University. Finally, the script requires some time due to many small http-calls, but it needs only very little bandwidth and CPU. Summing up, my suggestion to you is to bomb the semantic web with your data ;-) Have fun (look up pingthesemanticweb.com to see your wiki's namespace statistics)! Cheers, Markus P.S. If you also have another public service we should add to this script, feel free to say so.
