Semantic MediaWiki: Difference between revisions

'''Semantic MediaWiki''' is the [[wiki]] for '''Semantic-MediaWiki.org''', aka '''SMW'''.  SMW, founded in {{tag|Germany}}, is a {{tag|Free Software|free}} {{tag|open source}} semantic plug-in extension for the {{tag|MediaWiki}} {{tag|Wiki Engine|wiki engine}} that enables users to add semantic data to {{tag|wiki}} pages.  This data can then be used for better searching, browsing, and exchanging of information.  Among many other sites, Semantic MediaWiki also powers [[Semantic Web|SemanticWeb.org]].  Current information about Semantic MediaWiki can be found on its wiki, which also contains the complete user documentation.  Semantic MediaWiki is part of the greater Semantic Web project.  Since 2008, Semantic MediaWiki also organises twice-yearly conferences, in a similar vein to [[:Category:Wikimania|Wikimania]], currently under the [[SMW:SMWCon|SMWCon]] name; the Spring events are held in [[:Category:North America|North America]], and the Autumn (Fall) are held in [[:Category:Europe|Europe]] (typically the [[:Category:United States|United States]] and Germany).
