[Semediawiki-user] Semantics in SharePoint

[Jan \Saruman!\ S. <ja...@sa...>]

Hey all,

This mail is to inquire about adding semantic capabilities like those 
from SMW + SF to Microsoft SharePoint 2010.

My colleague and I, we've created tooling in SMW (demonstrated at 
SMWcamp'09, see 
http://smwforum.ontoprise.com/smwforum/index.php/SMW_Camp_09_-Slides_from_the_presentations_on_Sunday#SMW_as_tooling_for_infrastructure_architecture)
The tooling makes good use of many of SMW's capabilities, and we're 
still learning about features of SMW and related extensions.

However, within our company Sogeti, folks are inquiring if we perhaps 
can create the same tooling in SharePoint, since enterprise customers 
are likely to have SharePoint and resist MediaWiki (ummmm.... OK, well, 
if they say so...). Another colleague has been asked to create a 
SharePoint 2010 proof of concept.
I'm now looking to see what is the maximum of semantic capabilities that 
we can reach under SharePoint, and if it perhaps can even match SMW.

Does anybody on the list have information on this? I'd be happy with 
information either way: that there are ways to elevate SharePoint 
(close) to the level of SMW (e.g. 3rd party products), or information 
that strongly indicates (or proves) that this cannot be done. Note that 
we make heavy use of all three semantic elements that SMW offers: 
classes (and inferencing), properties and relations.

(Note: should you consider your information off-topic for this list, 
feel free to send directly to jan at saruman dot biz).
