Hello. Type management in Semantic MediaWiki has been improved, and you can now=20 declare your own attributes (the built-in attributes no longer exists). To = do=20 this, do the following: (1) Create an article for the new attribute (the easiest way is to click on= =20 the (red) link that appears in the infobox at the article bottom). (2) Add a semantic link [[has type::Type:String]] to this article. Other th= an=20 Type:String there is also Type:Integer, Type:Float, Type:Geographic area, a= nd=20 Type:Geographic length. That is all. If you change attribute declarations later on, this will affec= t=20 the display of all articles that use this attribute. However, you may not=20 notice right away, because the articles are cached and will not be recreate= d=20 until the next change (or if you are a logged-in user). In any case, changi= ng=20 the attribute declaration after an article was saved will not change what w= as=20 stored in the database (which, right now, is nothing -- as you know,=20 attributes are not yet supported for searching ;-) As usual, you can try out the new features at wiki.ontoworld.org. Since=20 attribute declaration now only hinges upon the available types, it would be= =20 nice to extend the stock of types a little. If you are interested in a=20 particular (exotic) type, you can probably do this yourself. The page=20 http://wiki.ontoworld.org/index.php/Built_in_Types gives some details and=20 suggestions for other types. Have fun!
