Good! I'd like to run some tests on some of our data (we run several SMW
instances). I will have to prepare a separate environment with the latest
versions of MW and SMW and the Memento extension. Nothing too difficult,
but it'll probably take some time.

Hi Shawn,
I'm currently working on the Memento Extension for Mediawiki, as
announced
earlier
today by Herbert Van de Sompel.
This is very exciting! Coincidentally, at last week's SMWCon (the
Semantic
MediaWiki conference) in Berlin I gave a
presentation to argue that we
need
some sort of 'time travelling' feature
(slides are available at
http://slidesha.re/1iIf3F9). One of the other participants also pointed
out
the Memento protocol.
Are you familiar with Semantic MediaWiki (
http://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/)
as an extension to MediaWiki? I'm curious
what it would take to let SMW
play nice together with Memento.
Before announcing the Memento extension to this list we tested it with a
locally installed Semantic MediaWiki and all seemed OK. It would be great
if someone could test it on a live one with actual real data. We got in
touch with the people behind
http://neurolex.org/wiki/Main_Page but they
are running an older MediaWiki version and are not in a hurry to upgrade
because they have a lot of extensions.
From the early days of Memento, we have been very interested in semantic
web, linked data applications of the Memento protocol. See, for example:
-
http://arxiv.org/abs/1003.3661 - illustrates the power of the protocol
to do time series analysis across versions of linked data description (in
DBpedia)
-
http://mementoweb.org/depot/native/dbpedia/ - the DBpedia archive that
we operate and that is Memento compliant -
Greetings
Herbert
Kind regards,
Remco de Boer
