Yaron,
Can you point me in the direction of some document (on
ontoworld.orgprobably) outlining plans and position of SMW developers
regarding n-ary
relations?
I very much interested in this functionality but I can wait for it (and
participate in discussions) as soon as I understand that this is going to be
implemented in the body of the application or as an extension at some point.
I also would like to understand rationale that development team uses to want
or not want to have n-ary relations in the product.
I'll appreciate any help understanding the direction of development
regarding this issue. I feel that other users are interested in this subject
as well.
Thank you,
Sergey

Some people could probably already guess what I'm going to say, but:
this is not doable right now, though it would be doable if Semantic
MediaWiki supported n-ary relations.
If they were supported, then to use my totally-arbitrary, self-created
syntax, an entry on the Napoleon page could look something like:
[[[Has quote:=On the subject of [[Has topic::Foreign relations]], on
[[Stated on:=March 3, 1805]], in [[Stated in:=Paris, France]],
Napoleon said that "[[Text:=If they want peace, nations should avoid
the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.]]"]]]
(I made up the date and location).
Note the triple-brackets at the beginning and end, indicating it's an
n-ary relation. This would get displayed as simply: 'On the subject of
Foreign relations, on March 3, 1795, in Paris, France, Napoleon said
that "If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that
precede cannon shots."' (with "Foreign relations" showing up as a
link). The data would then be queryable.
Currently, the only way to store this kind of information is to make a
separate page for each quote or piece of text.
