Hi. I have just added a new (rather Web-2.0, but anyway) feature to SMW: you ca= n=20 now have arbitrary customised "service links" in the factbox. You know that= =20 geographic coordinates already showed some additional links to online maps = in=20 the factbox. But those links were hardcoded and could not be changed in the= =20 wiki. The new mechanism allows wiki admins to add and modify link (templates) for= =20 display in the factbox. Users can then attach any number of such=20 admin-defined services to any attribute, thus making it display the accordi= ng=20 links. For details, see the docu [1]. You can do a lot with the new feature, since you can use it on any attribut= e.=20 You can have direct links from string attributes to search engines, or from= =20 integer attributes to IMDb. It also solves the problem of scale for online= =20 mapping services: different attributes now can use different zoom factors f= or=20 their mapping links. Ontoworld already provides a direct Swoogle link with= =20 the Attribute:Namespace now, see e.g. [2]. In spite of all this, wiki sysop= s=20 still retain control over what is linked in the factbox, while users are fr= ee=20 to use or not use the services provided by the wiki (sysops). We also hope that this feature can be used to further motivate wiki users t= o=20 annotate their texts.

I can already think of a bundle of places we can use this internally. Is there a new release upcoming to let us play with us on our own installations, or do we have go to svn? Thanks, Tony |

We are currently rather busy, hence the late reply. I am planning a minor=20 release within the next couple of weeks (hopefully before ISWC). I would li= ke=20 to fix some more bugs first, but you can safely use the SVN version right n= ow=20 (it does not make any changes to the DB or official syntax). =2D- Markus > > Thanks, > > > Tony > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
