a weird/lite Semantic Web Wiki Hack...

A Wiki Word can be like a Cate Gory, but it also IsA 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 W Bush vs George H W Bush)

• 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)

• http://frema.ecs.soton.ac.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page knowledge-base - yikes rather tiny still

• http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/14109/ paper about it

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.
