========================== Michael Uschold M&CT, Phantom Works 425 373-2845 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ========================== ---------------------------------------------------- COOL TIP: to skip the phone menu tree and get a human on the phone, go to: http://gethuman.com/tips.html -----Original Message----- From: Yaron Koren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 1:49 PM To: Uschold, Michael F Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; semediawiki-user@lists.sourceforge.net; Kitzmiller, Ted; Folger, Deborah H Subject: Re: [Semediawiki-user] Markup within a text field I would say including semantic markup within the values of a template is a bad way to go. MICHAEL: how do you measure goodness/badness? What bad things happen that offset the benefits I wish to experience? -- Thankfully, it's not needed. If you want to store additional semantic data, such as related project(s), you should just create a field or fields for that data. MICHAEL: this will work only if you know beforehand exactly what kinds of semantic information you might have in the text field. In that case, your proposal will work with the proviso that there could become too many fields cluttering up the template. However, I'm interested in the general case where it cannot be known beforehand what kind of information will go into the text field. So the extra fields approach will not work in that case. -- For project pages where you don't want to include a specific piece of semantic data, you can just leave out that field from the template. MICHAEL: then you somehow need to have a way to tell when a field should show up and when not. This adds a layer of complexity, but could be useful. -Yaron On 7/18/07, Uschold, Michael F <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Suppose you want to have a semantic template, for entering information > such as a project proposal. > You want some outer level fields like: > * Title > * Author > * Objectives > * Summary > * Description > > etc. > > Some of these (e.g. Summary and Description) are text fields (i.e. > datatyp properties with string as range.
