[Semediawiki-user] Modeling sub-properties in SW?

Hi --
Is there any way to define a hierarchy of properties, even a shallow
one, in Semantic MediaWiki?
I'm trying to create a wiki that maps out the space of semantic web
technologies, including qualitative attributes about maturity, feature
completeness, etc. I'd like to create a bunch of pages resenting
semantic web or RDF datastores, as well as a bunch of pages resenting
specific type of features (e.g. query language support, scalability,
etc). I have found that simple yes/no tracking of features etc is too
simplistic, and instead need another level of detail on the attributes.
I'd like to use a simple hierarchy of qualifiers, for example:
has_support_for_feature
has_weak_support_for_feature
has_average_support_for_feature
has_strong_support_for_feature
With this in place I want to map features to implementations using RDF
(or RDF-like) relations that use these properties and subproperties.
Something like this:
ProjectA has_weak_support_for_feature SPARQL
ProjectA has_strong_support_for_feature ARQ
ProjectB has_support_for_feature SPARQL
ProjectC has_weak_support_for_feature some_other_query_language
I'd then like to be able to run a query to generate a list or table of
all projects that support SPARQL, irrespective of how well they support
it. That is, query for has_support_for_feature and have that match
has_support_for_feature as well as any sub-property.
An alterate implementation would be to stick extra attributes on the
property relations themselves, something like:
ProjectA has_support_for_feature SPARQL weak_support
ProjectA has_support_for_feature ARQ strong_support
ProjectB has_support_for_feature SPARQL
ProjectC has_support_for_feature some_other_query_language weak_support
This would work if the attributes could themselves be grouped into a
hierarchy (i.e. weak_support and strong_support are subtypes of
default_level_of_support). Either approach would work.
I've got this working with a non-semantic hack in Excel and a bunch of
VBA scripts, but a wiki "feels" like a better match since most of the
content is text based. However, the lack of metadata tracking and
relationship mapping has stopped this migration so far. Is there any way
to do this today with Semantic MediaWiki?
Thanks!
Ramon
