When I last tried semantic mediawiki (years ago), it permitted (perhaps
even emphasized) generating structured data through writing that contained
typed links. The "type" was a predicate that explained the relationship
between two pages. I think it was also possible to store a tuple of data
inside the link, which may convey the strength of the predicate (for
example) when such information was important and ignore it when it was not
important (I may be confusing this functionality with another extension)
Is any of this inline schema building possible with Cargo or are all typed
links made in the form data fields? For example, in the common AUTHORS and
BOOKS example, what happens if the AUTHOR is actually unknown but there are
several *likely* AUTHORS? One option may be to add a whole field to BOOKS
for LIKELY AUTHORS. Another way might be to create an intermediate page
AUTHORSHIP that ties AUTHOR to BOOK with a field that explains the
relationship in more detail. But, perhaps there is a way to add more nuance
to the AUTHOR assignment itself? Could this information be conveyed in the
AUTHORS field through an additional piece of information placed in
parentheses?
