'''[[OpenGuides]]''' is a complete system for running a website about a subject where {{tag|geography|geographical}} location is important. It's mostly used to run guides to a town or {{tag|cities|city}}. It's an {{tag|open-source}} [[wiki]]-based web application written in {{tag|Perl}}. | |||

* RDF output | * {{tag|Resource Description Framework}} ([[RDF]]) output, for integration into {{tag|Semantic Web}} | ||
Our StructuredData is implemented via user-friendly individual text boxes rather than MediaWiki-style templates; see for example [http://boston.openguides.org/?id=Sandbox;action=edit Sandbox edit] on the [[ | Our StructuredData is implemented via user-friendly individual text boxes rather than [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]-style templates; see for example [http://boston.openguides.org/?id=Sandbox;action=edit Sandbox edit] on the [[Boston OpenGuide]]. | ||
We chose to use SQL storage because it's flexible, and it allows guide admins to create customised queries and features; see for example [http://london.randomness.org.uk/scripts/find.cgi the category search] on the [[Randomness Guide to London]]. We included [http://sqlite.org SQLite] support for situations where running a proper database server isn't possible; SQLite is a complete SQL engine which stores all its data in a single file on disk. | We chose to use SQL storage because it's flexible, and it allows guide admins to create customised queries and features; see for example [http://london.randomness.org.uk/scripts/find.cgi the category search] on the [[Randomness Guide to London]].
