Hi, I would like to second Nate's thanks to the SMW developers and contributers.
I'm also rather new to SMW and have a similar problem/question. I want to use SMW for biological annotation data. It looks for me difficult to accomplish that without using n-ary relations. I came across BOWiki which used SMW 0.4 as basis to integrate and support n-ary relations but as far as I can see their changes are so severe that it is now a different, alternative semantic extention to MediaWiki, incompatible with SMW and so any improvements in SMW couldn't be used there. So my question would be if there are any plans to implement something similar like BOWiki did in SMW to allow n-ary relations or if there is maybe a practical way to use constructs (as suggested in the W3C Working Group article) to implement n-ary like behaviour in SMW resp. specify some sort of qualifiers for a relation?
