Hi Markus. The semantic mediawiki extension is very cool, but I think the
main issue at this point is exactly what you said in your second paragraph:
An efficient way to do the data retrieval portion of this stuff
(specifically, for me, category intersections). There are a few very neat
extensions (semantic mediawiki, DPL, a home brewed category intersections
special page I did for media wiki 1.4x) but they are not fast enough for a
large wiki. This is the problem I'm trying to solve (for category
intersections, anyway), and then we can hash out interfaces etc. I've got a
test script using a MySQL fulltext index that may be good enough, and if it
isn't, I'll do one using Lucene (the php version).
Maybe though, it's appropriate to talk about what features category
intersections and semantic mediawiki share, and see if we can't find (data
retrieval) solutions for both. I'm not familar with the backend of semantic
mediawiki at all, so I can't comment on that.
