Not sure if this simplifies anything for you, though.
In the end, you
will need *some* format for your data, and it seems unlikely that your
native format will be directly supported in MediaWiki (or its
extensions). So you will probably need some form of syntactic adaptation
to get data into the wiki, whatever extension you use.
What is your preferred data format, i.e. data model and (optionally)
syntax?
I still have a feeling Semantic MediaWiki is overkill for my limited
needs. I would be happy with treating the data as unstructured 'blobs'
which can be:
- entered using the normal wiki editor, and follow normal wiki rules for
display
- be hidden or exposed to users depending on their group
- be returned in response to a query (just returning a string for
parsing at the receiving end would be fine)
I would like to be able to make queries such as 'return all blobs of
type x from pages in category y', with the querier responsible for
parsing the data.
And I would also like to be able to have a script which does 'overwrite
any blob of type x on page y with the following string'.
