Dear Deborah, thanks for your respons. You can find my e-mail on http://www.sheherazade.ch As I wrote in my last mail, my first step will be to extract the different kinds of links from the Wiki-content. Then I will propose a list of different links for a given topic by a Web Service. (this is devlopped as MediaWiki-extensions)
Second: I would like to descripe the hole linked Wiki-conten with Topic Maps(XTM). Afterwards it would be possible to create interactif visualizations of the Wiki-conten. What do you mean with "a picture in layers" - would the layers be static or dynamic? How would you create them? With which technology?
Best regards Urs

Dear Urs Richle,
What I want to do is make a picture of the linkages in layers you could turn off or on to see how they go together in XTM, RDF or OWL. Somewhere between these will be the best fit/clearest picture.
I could not get through to your email or find you on http://tecfa.unige.ch/. Please let me know how to reach you to continue this discussion so we can create one or two concrete examples to post.
Sincerely, Deborah MacPherson

Hello, I'm working on a project to visualize the semantic network of MediaWiki-content. I tested the SpecialPage implementation of the Touchgraph-applet on http://wiki.sheherazade.ch/index.php/Spezial:Touchgraph (thanks to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fxparlant/Touchgraph). My idea is to use the Topic Maps (XTM)-standard to describe the semantic network. XTM allows a more complex description of all different kinds of links then the XML-file used by Touchgraph. Applications like Omnigator from Ontopia (http://www.ontopia.net) are able to read and visualize XTM-files.
The seconde idea is to propose a list of different links for an article and the XTM-file by a webservice (compare RPC-interface of JSPWiki --> http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/WikiRPCInterface). I will use the NuSOAP-library for this.
Does someone work on a similar project to describe the semantic network of MediaWiki-content with XTM, RDF or OWL?
Does someone work on a webservice-extension for MediaWiki?
Please contact me.

I am interested in making a map of Wikipedia in order to
streamline the content,
provide an overview of different areas, and connect
Wikipedia to digital archives
maintained by museums and laboratories all around
the world. For more information
please see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CDT_proposal .
If you would like to collaborate, or if you
already have similar efforts underway,
please contact me.
Thank you,
