a weird/lite Semantic Web Wiki Hack...
A Wiki Word can be like a Cate Gory, but it also Is A RDF vocabulary.
In a comment to a Britt Blaser post I wrote:
You know, a wiki could get you kinda far... Each entity gets a Wiki Word to ease cross-reference.
The big challenges include:
entity uniqueness (make sure you specify George WBush vs George HWBush)
- having more than one assertion per node
creating Wiki Word-s for relationships (Bent Over For, Accepted Illegal Contributions From, etc.)
creating Wiki Words for dates, and being able to search/sort (though if you used some sortable standard like On Date Yyyy Mm Dd and tweaked the software to accept that pattern, you could probably fudge an awful lot with regexps)

Are there any public examples of more formal approaches?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic Media Wiki runs on Media Wiki - Semantic Media Wiki offers two means to make information about a page more explicit: Categorization of links (relations between pages); Typed attributes (of a page). How many people are going to do that?

a related idea is just using 'AND' queries for Wiki Word-s like an intersection of different Back Links queries to find a particular page. - Wiki Name Network

I had related [z2003-04-16-Wikiword As Topic] to a related idea from Mark Nottingham.
here's a more recent Mark Nottingham post that loops back to Britt Blaser's idea noted above.
