Finn - thank you; these are some interesting tools to look at, especially Synia.

To clarify, none of the tools in our proposed suite involve Semantic MediaWiki; though they may have been indirectly inspired by some of SMW's functionality.

Thanks for the pointers about the new work around Semantic MediaWiki and
Wikibases. I have used Semantic MediaWiki and used the builtin query
facility and they are very useful.

There are a few external tools for aggregation with Wikibases. Magnus
has Literia that works on Wikidata to build tables with Wikidata
information from SPARQL queries.

Scholia works currently only on Wikidata and has some drill down, e.g.,
machine learning in Denmark can be shown (or any other country-topic
combination).
https://scholia.toolforge.org/country/Q35/topic/Q2539

Synia, a Literia-Scholia inspired project can work with Wikibases. For
instance, a "car model" aggregation is here:
https://synia.toolforge.org/#carmodel and an overview of language is
here: https://synia.toolforge.org/#language
