[Mediawiki-l] Semantic

[CW Dillon]

Semantic MediaWiki is an extension to MediaWiki that essentially allows a
user to tag certain information as metadata for the page.  But then you can
define how that metadata relates to other page metadata.  It's kind of like
a category tag, but much more structured.  It's almost like being able to
define ''HOW'' or ''WHAT KIND'' of link exists between a page and the
information on the page.  Of course, the big pay-off is being able to sort
and sift by that information using a simple query.  When used together with
the parser functions extensions, it's very, very powerful.
