- Create a top category for Semantic Classes. I called mine 'Categories'.
'''Smart Communities Network:''' http://www.smartcommunities.ncat.org/
It holds only categories used to define a 'Is-a' relationship. Doing so has
at least two benefits : 1- You can do a query on your core content by
restricting it to the 'Categories' level. 2- You can define other
categories outside of that structure for whatever your system needs.

=== Variables ===
[[Albuquerque, NM "Big-Box" Regulations]]


You can make use of the VariablesExtension [1] and store the query (or its
[[Chicago, IL Big Box Living Wage and Benefits]]
result? I'd like to know which one, but in the end it doesn't really matter) in
a variable, which is helpful when you need the same query multiple times within
a page. It looks like this:


{{ #vardefine: some_variable_name | {{#show:{{PAGENAME}}| ?propertyname}} }}
[[Inglewood, CA WalMart Loses Initiative]]
(silent) or
{{ #vardefineecho: some_variable_name | {{#show:{{PAGENAME}}| ?propertyname}} }} (with output)


Further down in the page you can write

Data design

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms#Data_design_issues

- Create a top category for Semantic Classes. I called mine 'Categories'. It holds only categories used to define a 'Is-a' relationship. Doing so has at least two benefits : 1- You can do a query on your core content by restricting it to the 'Categories' level. 2- You can define other categories outside of that structure for whatever your system needs.

http://smwforum.ontoprise.com/smwforum/index.php/Example:How_to_realize_a_range_constraint_for_a_property

Redirects can be used to create property synonyms.

Discussion

Categories can be hierarchical; properties can't (yet).


MW tricks

If you want to clear out old pages you can delete them and use deleteArchivedRevisions.php to erase the deleted revisions from the database.

Variables

You can make use of the VariablesExtension [1] and store the query (or its result? I'd like to know which one, but in the end it doesn't really matter) in a variable, which is helpful when you need the same query multiple times within a page. It looks like this:

SMW tricks

[[Went past deadline::{{#expr:{{{End date|}}}>{{{Deadline|}}} }}]]

Hiding set data

 [[propertyA::{{{propertyA|}}}|]]

By adding the | after the enclosing }}}, the property value will not show.

For multi value properties: 

 {{#arraymap:{{{Eating disorders behaviors|}}}|,|x|[[Eating disorders behaviors::x|]]}}

Misc

Enable links in property values

$smwgLinksInValues = true;

Must add namespaces to config

Otherwise they won't have semantic properties.
