Hello Yaron,
at the SMWCon Fall 2010 you mentioned the concept of a "Semantic Class",
see also
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_Classes,
in your talk "Semantic Forms: thoughts on next steps + bug the developer".
Markus Krötsch in his reply suggested the use of an alternative name for
it.
Motivated by the spirit of the conference and especially Jesse Wang's
point to see SMW an agile software development platform it might be
appropriate to see the "Semantic class" as a
"semantic component"
This would reflect the fact that the semantic class generates artifacts
for the UI, the model, and the (implicit) the persitence of the structural
data. In a traditinal (for example Java) software there would be serveral
classes involed into this CRUD (create, read, update and delete).
It also would include notions and concepts of compontent based software
engineering into the SMW platform, see for example
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component-based_software_engineering
Perhaps such a "semantic component" could be enhanced with something like
a namespace concept (perhaps just a convention for the names of the
attributes, forms etc.) to make applications with a different set of
semantic components independent from each other and therefore combinable
in one wiki.
With best regards,
Andreas Rulle
