I'm not sure what you mean. SMW doesn't impose a particular ontology on annotations (except for its representation of MediaWiki categories). However, you can "import" dc terms and tie SMW properties to them so that when exported as RDF they use the dc ontology. E.g. an article about a research paper that says [[Has author:John Doe]] can export RDF <dc:creator ...>John Doe</dc:creator> instead of <property:creator ...>John Doe</property:Last_page> > 2.

SMW annotations are not about the wiki article, they're about the thing described by the article. See http://semantic-mediawiki.org/swivt/1.0#Subject There's already MediaWiki code to export article information, see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/RDF_metadata http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RDF However, this code seems disabled in most installations, e.g. http://ontoworld.org/wiki.phtml?title=Berlin&action=dublincore I'm no expert on this stuff, please clarify. -- =S Page ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
