Inline queries in Semantic Mediawiki

I’ve just got a mail on the swikig ML about the v0.4 release of Semantic Mediawiki, which should happen tomorrow.

{{The most remarkable item on the list of changes are probably the new inline queries which allow you to insert semantic search results into articles }}

Indeed, that’s really cool !

Have a look at SemWiki list of papers, and especially its source. The provided list of papers is a single line query, retrieving all accepted (and annotated as) papers created among the Wiki.

 <ask format="ul">[[Category:Paper]] [[accepted by::SemWiki2006]]</ask>

This means that the wiki is not only a tool for creating and querying triples, but also an RDF-consummer. Here, the wiki and the data are locally stored, but we can imagine to use a distributed query system among different tools / 3stores to get webpages - wikis or not - constantly up-to-date thanks to Semantic Web and distributed knowledge.

So now, let’s wait until tomorrow to know more about other features :)

    Hi, you made a mistake in the title: this is EN, not FR.

    Thanx, fixed !
    BTW, this is not in the title itself, but in its lang attribute. Have a look at page source + CSS if we want to see details.
