Hi all, we are happy to announce that the Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) extension has wo= n=20 the third prize of this year's "doit-software-awards"=20 (<http://www.doit-award.de> German homepage). This annual award is granted = by=20 the German state of Baden-W=FCrttemberg and MFG foundation as a support for= =20 innovative software solutions that carry scientific developments into=20 practice. It is also coupled with some prize money that our research group = at=20 Institute AIFB in Karlsruhe receives. As usual, competition for this well-established award was tough and we are= =20 very happy that SMW was successful. Thanks are due to many people who=20 continuously contribute code, translations, and advice to the project. The= =20 active user base quite certainly also played a role in the assessment of th= e=20 jury. And of course we completely rely on the great work of the MW core=20 development team. Thank you! Of course this fuels our motivation for further developments, and we are=20 currently very busy with designing and implementing "SMW 1.0" as well as wi= th=20 making plans for the long-term future of the project. Cheers, Markus P.S. Using SMW from SVN remains somewhat risky. Stay tuned until August for= a=20 new stable version. =2D-=20 Markus Kr=F6tzsch Institute AIFB, University of Karlsruhe, D-76128 Karlsruhe ma...@ai... phone +49 (0)721 608 7362 www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/WBS/ fax +49 (0)721 693 717 |

Does this mean that a release candidate of SMW1.0 will be available for download around next month or does this means that -a demo- of SMW1.0 will be given at Wikimania, for a release some time (weeks, months) later? Congratulations for the prize! Ciao! Manu |

Hi,=20 The idea to combine Attribute and Relation is not new. But the question = is how that will get handled. I'm preferring to use it as the user wants it = to use:=20 {{born at:=3DParis}}=20 {{born at::Paris}}=20 Can you please give any details how the syntax of the new properties and multi-valued properties will look like?=20 Further, I still see the problem with the categories that are actually building a folksonomy rather than a class system. Hopefully that issue = can get addressed too.=20 Many templates will probably need a refactoring using "{{foreach:" statements and many tables need to get removed and rewritten as template/query approaches. Afaik because of the lack of N-ary relations, = we can't use tables for semantic datamining.=20 A online demo with a Wikipedia database dump for testing would be nice. = With the database dump we would get a playground for experimenting with templates, tables and categories. Btw: The price was given to a very great project.

Markus, I use SMW for my TechPresentations project. Could you please post a link to your presentations at Wikimania here or at http://www.techpresentations.org/Wikimania_2007 There is [[Category:Semantic Web]] over there as well. Hope this will be useful for everybody.

Well, let's be careful with release dates ;-) The plan is to have some=20 substantial changes running until Wikimania, but it might not be quite=20 SMW1.0alpha ... but let's see. The major change of SMW1.0 will be that Relations and Attributes are joined= =20 and called Properties. This of cause requires many internal changes. Also t= he=20 whole storage access now is modularised, so that it becomes possible to=20 optimise storage performace without changing most of the code. In any case we should be able to show some new features at Wikimania, such = as=20 support for multi-valued properties. > > Congratulations for the prize! Thanks!

Sorry, I didn't mean to be pushy, I was just wondering if you had a roadmap somewhere, with dates, and I missed it. Nonono, take all the time you need! Ciao! Manu |
