Category:Semantic MediaWiki: Difference between revisions

'''Category: Semantic MediaWiki''' — this [[Special:Categories|category]] here on WikiIndex contains [[wiki]] sites and / or [[:Category:Wiki farm|wiki hosts]] which run on the {{tag|MediaWiki}} wiki engine, but notably, which <u>also</u> use the {{Mw|Extension:Semantic MediaWiki|Semantic MediaWiki}} ('''SMW''') free and {{tag|open source}} plug-in {{tag|MediaWiki extension}}.  This SMW plug-in allows [[wiki text]] and [[wikilink]]s to be entered as 'structured data' on a wiki site (often using [[Special:Forms|forms]]), which is compliant with {{tag|Semantic Web}} standards and protocols; and is therefore searchable and exportable as {{tag|Resource Description Framework}} (RDF) feeds, and other forms of highly defined {{tag|data}} output.

[https://archive.is/1CKa9 This archived page] from the now defunct [[ontoworld.org]] wiki site describes one of the very basic yet powerful simplicities of Semantic MediaWiki syntax.

:''Please note:''  'Semantic MediaWiki' should <u>not</u> be entered in the <tt>engine</tt> field of the [[Template:Wiki|wiki infobox template]] for SMW enabled wikis – as technically, Semantic MediaWiki is not an actual [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engine]].  Please just add 'MediaWiki' as the engine in the infobox, and add <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Semantic MediaWiki]]</nowiki></tt> at the bottom of the wiki article [[edit box]], or 'tag' Semantic MediaWiki somewhere within descriptive [[Cambridge-Dictionary:prose|prose]] text.
