Thanks for your answers.

I like RDFIO's behavior of just importing the RDF, without adding SMW
specific elements (e.g. categories, redirects etc.). My goal is it to import
any RDF (RDF(S), OWL) and then run through it with a bot to set up the look
and feel.

However, I see some problems with RDFIO:

- How are the property types of data type properties set? Should this not be
done generic, e.g. as specific as possible, as general as needed?

- As I see it, SMW RDF export and RDFIO SPARQL endpoint give different
outputs. Should they not provide the same information?

- What happens if imported information already is available in the wiki? Do
you really think it should be duplicated? Also, I am not quite sure, whether
RDFIO properly checks if pages already represent URIs and can be just
updated by the imported RDF.

- Apparently, it is not that robust: When I run RDFIO it sometimes gave me
an error because of inappropriate wiki titles. Also for bigger RDF it
reached max execution time and quit (although I set a higher one in
php.ini).

Best,

Benedikt

I agree, and the former is really a prerequisite of the latter. Ideally, 
SMW could thus obtain access to external Linked Data (cached locally for 
query answering). Ways of dynamically locating and pulling such data 
have already been explored in the SMW-based ShortiPedia prototype 
(shortipedia.org).

In any case (to answer Benedikt's initial email), the old vocabulary 
import functionality and the equivalent URI method both affect the RDF 
export only, and do not contribute to the data as viewed in SMW (e.g. 
via queries). This whole aspect of SMW needs to be rethought.
