Greetings, all -

Is there a way to configure Semantic MediaWiki so that properties are defined 
in more than one namespace?  Here's the situation: we have a system that 
automatically populates wikis with a certain set of predefined properties that 
we don't want users to be able to modify (which is why the property data is 
automatically updated with each site release).  However, we still want to 
provide users with the capability to define their own properties whilst 
avoiding any possibility of accidentally overwriting user-defined properties 
with future updates that might add or remove properties from our automatically 
generated list.  The idea we came up with was to allow users to define 
properties within a separate namespace - say, UserProperty instead of Property 
- and then have our automated system check to make sure that the user had not 
already defined a property with a matching name prior to creating its entries.  
Thus, we'd have both the UserProperty AND Property namespaces working in sync.

I realize this is a nontrivial bit of functionality, but was hoping that 
perhaps some mechanism already existed that might allow us to do this (or 
perhaps that someone might have a better idea of how to approach this).  My 
searches have turned up nothing, but I figured that if anyone would know, it'd 
be the developer community.

Thanks!
