Something like this: [[Property_name::Property_value]] I think the "third" (actually the first) value in triple will be the page where the property is defined. Also, the output of property value can be piped very much similar to the links.

Someone stated that square-bracket syntax is harder to parse, favoring magic words / functions. Perhaps such definitions can be replaced by semantical magic words {{PROP|Name|Value}}, implemented for the Parser. Then, SMW itself can pick up that curly-brace syntax. The advantage is, that dumps of Wikipedia will be suitable for local SMW querying, even if there will be no SMW installed at Wikiemdia servers. > I can see two major problems with using SMW syntax for > input: > > 1) Implementing microdata-output-as-microdata is trivial, and already > implemented in core.
