unfortunately, I don't know of a browser integrated into SMW. I have, however, 
played around a bit with the ontology from the wiki exported to RDF and 
browsing it in IsaViz (http://www.w3.org/2001/11/IsaViz/, or 
http://www.lri.fr/~pietriga/IsaViz/ for mor recent versions).

But that leads me to another question to the community: Is there a 
ready-to-use stylesheet that makes certain parts of the RDF, which are not 
that relevant for browsing, invisible? E.g. 
the "rdfs:label", "rdfs:isDefinedBy", and "smw:hasArticle" properties? And 
that makes the "wiki:..." properties look nicer? I'm thinking of writing one 
myself, but maybe it's already been done.

Best,

Christoph
