--- Comment #6 from [email protected] 2011-11-04 22:52:50 UTC --- While helping someone with their question about querying for categories in #semantic-mediawiki, I told the asker that it could only be done if the category were stored as a property. "Saruman" corrected me to say that category information can in fact be obtained in queries simply by querying for ?Category like this: {{#ask: [[somepage]] | ?Category}} This works even though Category is not a built-in semantic property like Modification date is. I was unable to find any documentation for this, but he explained: <Saruman> badon: category is the SMW translation of the semantic "class" object <Saruman> see http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_information#Printing_categories I asked if there were other things in the list contained in this bug report that can be obtained via queries, despite not being built in properties, and if there is documentation of it. He said: [14:45:13] <Saruman> badon: I once wrote a primer on semantics that explained that, but some people wanted that deleted from the SMW site So, there may be parts of this bug report that are currently doable, but have had their documentation deleted. I don't understand what an "SMW translation" is. If someone knows, and can explain that, I can research it further. If Saruman's documentation has survived somewhere, please make it accessible here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Badon/Extension:Semantic_MediaWiki/Manual -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
