Hi, Without having a real clue about the topic at hand in how space-related/space technology open source can be directly link to SMW, one thing that came to my mind was that SMW could be used in helping to visualize planetary attribution data sets.
Building on existing data sets that are maintained in selected wiki systems (wikipedia etc.), export those data sets relevant for the case into an enabled SMW system, select data attributes that seem worthwhile to put into relation (visualization). The challenge than for the developer would be to use different kind of visualizations (with the help of something like protovis[1] or d3[2]) on selected data sets to help ease categorization (for example planetary system/objects are formed (grouped by distance to each other) into abstract data sets; visualize atmospheric information and compare them to other planetary objects etc.) One selling point could be summed-by using SMW as an aggregation tool for different data set sources by facilitating various visualizations to simplify understand of their relations to each other. Importing/Exporting RDF/External data to help importing/exporting data sets SF to help structure imported data sets Aggregation/Categorization Special:Ask, RunQuery be used to change selection on data sets and attributes Compound Queries to group data sets during the selection process SIO to bound data sets to one particular planetary object Visualization SRF helps with the visualization of those selected data sets [1] http://mbostock.github.com/protovis/ [2] http://mbostock.github.com/d3/ Cheers, MWJames ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2d-c2 _______________________________________________ Semediawiki-devel mailing list Semediawiki-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/semediawiki-devel
