| ''This hands-on session for non technical users emphasizes the "need to know" aspects of Web publishing, wikis, information design and Semantic Mediawiki for flexible, structured, practical re-usable content that fits into the Web of Data. It is not expected participants will become experts in all these topics, but will be able to create a site, and have an overview of what can be done as a basis of progressive learning.''

| | Park has a role in the 2007 movie West 32nd, a crime drama dealing with New York City’s Korean underworld. |
|
| |
|
| == Acronyms ==
| | She appeared as Lt. Sandra Telfair in Electronic Arts' Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, along with her Battlestar Galactica co-star, Tricia Helfer. |
|
| |
|
| * MW: Mediawiki
| | In 2008, she had co-starring roles in the A&E series The Cleaner and the CBC series The Border. In 2009, Park had an uncredited cameo role on the television show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. She appeared as a fan in a crowd at a science fiction convention, objecting to a gritty remake of a Star Trek-like series, comparable to the Battlestar Galactica remake in which she starred. In 2009 she reprised her role as Sharon aka cylon Number Eight from Battlestar Galactica in the television movie Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. It told the series story from the cylons' point of view. In 2010, she appeared in Fox series Human Target as Eva Kahn. |
| * SMW: Semantic Mediawiki
| |
| | |
| = Web publishing =
| |
| | |
| == Difference between Semantic Mediawiki and static web sites, CMS, Mediawiki ==
| |
| | |
| * Static web sites can be more difficult to manage, it's harder to re-use content.
| |
| * Content management systems use forms to guide content editing, but they tend to require low level changes (database, programming), and end users have constrained access to the site
| |
| * Mediawiki is designed to organize large sets of pages, potentially with many people contributing
| |
| * Semantic Mediawiki adds structured information and views
| |
| ** '''We are going to learn markup encoding in order to have more control over content and appearance'''
| |
| | |
| == Access models ==
| |
| * Fully open, no login required
| |
| * Require login for editing
| |
| * Require created accounts to edit (closed editing)
| |
| * Require created accounts to access (fully private)
| |
| ** Encryption to avoid snooping
| |
| | |
| Access models can be changed over time; avoid starting a wiki with jargon or unsympathetic content.
| |
| | |
| == Site users ==
| |
| | |
| * Levels
| |
| ** De-emphasize control, make it as flat as possible
| |
| ** Bureaucrats still exist - edit site-wide content and styles, block pages and users
| |
| * OpenID signin
| |
| | |
| {{Practice|Create an account and sign in}}
| |
| | |
| == Accessibility ==
| |
| | |
| ''Here, accessibility refers to supporting people with vision, keyboard control or cognitive difficulties.''
| |
| | |
| * Making sites accessible generally increases usability
| |
| ** Works on more devices from text browser to handheld
| |
| ** Typically more straightforward navigation
| |
| ** Accessible hot keys can be used by any expert user
| |
| ** [http://asyourworldchanges.wordpress.com/2008/10/06/using-the-curb-cuts-principle-to-reboot-computing/ The curb cuts principle]
| |
| * Mediawiki is accessible, SMW has issues (forms)
| |
| * Value content over appearance
| |
| * Good tags for images, image maps

| ''Mediawiki is the underlying software of Wikipedia. It is robust, supported by a large community and supports hundreds of useful extensions.''

| <br class="cleared" />
| |
| | |
| == Progressive uses ==
| |
| | |
| * Basic site with pages and categories
| |
| ** You just need to know a few things for your wiki to be as useful as most Web sites
| |
| * Add widgets for more interactivity
| |
| * Wiki gardening to reorganize content
| |
| * Add semantic classes for reusable data
| |
| * Guide users of the site
| |
| ** Viewer
| |
| ** Casual editor
| |
| ** Advanced editor, gardener
| |
| ** Semantic coder
| |
| | |
| == Creating pages ==
| |
| | |
| * How to name pages
| |
| ** One topic per page
| |
| * Short, avoid special symbols, use sentence type capitalization, avoid Title Case unless appropriate
| |
| * Code and matching brackets
| |
| | |
| === Basic markup ===

| [[File:Sky_Clouds_13.jpg|right|400px|A picture of clouds with the sun poking through in case people start to panic]]
| |
| | |
| ''Rather than using a rich text editor, Mediawiki uses a progressively learned set of markup, that's designed to be human-readable, consistent and enforces meaning over appearance. It's not dependant on special programs, and could be carved into a park bench and retain its meaning.''

| * Meaning through annotations and relationships
| |
| ** You define the relationships for your application
| |
| ** Triples — subject, predicate, object
| |
| *** Subject — what we're talking about
| |
| *** Predicate — the relationship type
| |
| *** Object - what the subject is being related to
| |
| ** Combine them and you can flexibly describe anything
