Hi,
I might be wrong, but I think
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SemanticComments stores comments and
ratings on separate pages in another namespace – this could help you out. Works
on my SMW 1.8, but I am not sure whether I had to do little adjustments for the
version.
Kind regards
Argi

An: Semantic MediaWiki developers
Betreff: [SMW-devel] Rating system
I have a Semantic MediaWiki installation <http://ropewiki.com/> that has a
large number of Canyon pages <http://ropewiki.com/index.php/Category:Canyons> ,
where each of those pages describes a different hiking trip. These pages
<http://ropewiki.com/index.php/Havasu_Canyon> have a number of properties on
them, one of them being Quality (how "good" of a trip it is). Currently,
editors can edit the wikitext to change this property. I would like make a
feature that allows people to vote on what Quality they think a particular
Canyon is, and then the overall Quality (based on the votes received) would be
displayed on the page. I can think of a few different ways this might be done,
but I was hoping to get some advice from people who are really familiar with
Semantic MediaWiki for which method is likely to produce the best results with
the least effort.
== Single "Voting data" wiki page ==
I could make an extension that automatically edits a particular wiki page
(perhaps "Voting data") in response to a click. It would read the existing
content, add the new vote, recalculate ratings, generate semantic properties
with those ratings, and save the new page version. I'm not sure if this is
possible, but it seems like the best solution if it is. Although, there might
be a problem eventually if, say, 300 people each vote on 10 canyons, then my
page size is going to be like 60k (which may cause performance issues?)
== Stand-alone widget ==
I could make an extension that injects custom PHP that talks to an entirely
separate (non-MediaWiki) database to store and report the voting data. This
same approach would work on any website, even if it wasn't a MediaWiki install.
The down side of this approach is that I have no idea how I would (could?)
integrate the voting results into a semantic search. Can semantic data be
stored stably in the SMW database without being defined in any wikitext?
== Per-page voting data ==
I could maybe make an extension that automatically edits the current page and
injects an additional vote line so all the quality votes for a given page are
stored on that page. But, this seems like the most difficult option, and there
would be a bunch of voting data junk in the wikitext content.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
