Re: [Semediawiki-user] Adding a 'sum' format for inline queries

[Yaron K. <ya...@gm...>]

Okay, I just talked to Markus, who said that 'sum' and any other math
functions should go into Semantic Result Formats and that the general goal
is to get all but the most basic formats (i.e. list, table, etc.) into SRF.
And yes, 'average', 'min' and 'max' also make sense.
Nathan, if you have code for 'sum', could you please send it to me?
