Semantic MediaWiki

About
Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) is an extension for platform::MediaWiki that provides purpose::semantic markup capability.

pages
As the SMW code API is not yet stable or well-documented, it appears that going directly to the database may be the best way to utilize SMW data.
 * /data: tables

parser functions
SMW also uses a few standard-form parser functions:
 * #ask
 * #declare
 * #info
 * #set
 * #set_recurring_event
 * #show

Syntax
SMW introduces a new syntactical structure of the form  property name::property value , which may optionally be written with a display parameter:  display text . Both of these formats cause the current page to be assigned the value property name with the value property value. The same value can be assigned to several properties with this syntax:  property1 name::property2 name::value for both .

To set a property without displaying anything, there are two alternative forms:
 *   
 * In this form, the space between the "|" and "]]" is required)
 * This form allows brackets ("[" and "]") to be used in the property value; the other form does not.
 * This form allows brackets ("[" and "]") to be used in the property value; the other form does not.
