That's the latest instructions in Subversion. Are you using the latest code from Subversion, or did you download SMW 0.6 from SourceForge? The installation instructions for 0.6 are different from the latest code. Follow the instructions in your local INSTALL file (perhaps it's in httpdocs/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/INSTALL). > i have also some more question regarding the project i want to use SMW > for. it is intented to be a semantical image gallery (i know that now, > after reading something about your project. when we started to plan > the gallery we quickly came to this solution, but had no name for it.) > are they existing extensions, tutorials, hints or other things i > should get informed about regarding the massive use of images in a > wiki? (or say: a wiki which is all about images, not text) That seems more a MediaWiki question. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files has information and useful links. It's not clear what you want to do. You could create a template that creates semantic notation about images. E.g. adapt http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Information so that it creates attribute values and relations. But users still have to insert this and other wiki text by editing the image's Wiki page. If you want to automate creation of semantic information from images, I think you'd have to hack MediaWiki's Image.php, ImagePage.php, etc. But I don't know much about this. (I didn't know that MediaWiki can display EXIF metadata information from an image file until just now -- check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tusheti1.jpg#metadata ) -- =S Page ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
