Bug #: 29538
Summary: native sparql support
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Semantic MediaWiki
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Semantic mediawiki is very nice and lets you do many nifty things that just
aren't possible with vanilla mediawiki. However, the {{#ask: ... }} interface
is quite limited compared to what you could do with sparql, and it would be
really nice if smw could ship with sparql support. What I want to do, for
example, which is currently impossible:
1. Report properties from other pages:
For example, a product has several [[available from::shop]] and each shop is
[[located at::city]]. I want to dynamically generate lists of products along
with which shop and city I can get it from, and I want to do it without jumping
through the template hoops where the {{#ask: ... |template=foo}} template does
a secondary query for the city.
2. Query for properties, not for pages:
A page has one or more [[concerns::field]]. I want to get at the individual
fields for further processing, I do not want a comma separated list that I have
to unreliably parse and string mangle.
3. Compare multiply set properties across pages:
A page has one or more [[concerns::field]] and a person has one or more
[[expertise::field]]. For any given page I want to be able to generate dynamic
lists of people who are experts in one or more of the concerned fields, and I
do not want to repeat myself and give the fields again in the query.
4. And more...
