"New search tool to unlock Wikipedia" - 28 March 2012 by Paul Marks
http://swipe.i-mozart.com/www2012demo/TR_swipe.pdf
"Called Swipe - loosely short for "searching Wikipedia by example" - the
software aims to let users of the online encyclopedia answer complex
questions that most search engines would stumble over....
"The pair wrote Swipe using MediaWiki, the software Wikipedia is based
on, but it draws its answers from DBpedia...
"...Swipe "activates" those Wikipedia info boxes, allowing users to take
the data in them and create a tweaked version, and in doing so calls up
pages that match that altered information....
"Swipe could easily be made available as an option on Wikipedia one day,
says Atzori...."
Just a heads-up.
