Hello,
I would like to create a tag extension to allow for a controlled
sharing of properties among wikis in a wiki family (a single codebase
with multiple databases [1]). The idea is to build a special page to
list all the wikis in the site along with their properties and their
registered users; when an administrator A in the wiki W1 grants the view
of the property P11 in her wiki to another user U2 belonging to the wiki
W2, the tag extension (for example <sharedProperties>) in W2 will list
all the properties that the user U2 can view. Another idea would be to
extend the ask queries in order to address the (authorized) properties
or categories using a sort of interwiki, for example {{#ask:
[[Category:w1:C1]] | ?w1:P11 }}, however it won't be dynamic even if an
interesting feature.
To read the shared and authorized properties in SMW I would use the
SemanticQueryInterface extension [2] and I see that it calls the
function smwGetStore from GlobalFunctions.php; I am not able to follow
the code further and understand where the connection to the store is
selecting the specific database bound to the active wiki. Can you help me?
Thank you.
