Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) is a free, open-source extension to MediaWiki - the wiki software that powers Wikipedia - that lets you store and query data within the wiki's pages. Semantic MediaWiki is also a full-fledged framework, in conjunction with many spinoff extensions, that can turn a wiki into a powerful and flexible "collaborative database". All data created within SMW can easily be published via the Semantic Web, allowing other systems to use this data seamlessly.

"Wikibase is the software that enables MediaWiki to store structured data or access data that is stored in a structured data repository. Wikibase basically consists of two MediaWiki extensions, Wikibase Repository and Wikibase Client, that can be enabled individually or together for a certain MediaWiki installation to turn it into a structured data repository, a client of a structured data repository or both."

Semantic Bundle contains a large number of MediaWiki extensions; chief among them is, of course, Semantic MediaWiki, an extension that enables semantic storage and querying of data. Other SMW-based extensions included in this bundle are ..

the wiki for the community of users, administrators and developers of the Semantic MediaWiki extension to the MediaWiki application, and all its spinoff extensions, including Semantic Forms, Semantic Drilldown, Semantic Result Formats, Halo, Semantic Maps and others. The wiki itself uses many of these extensions, in order to provide a flexible yet structured interface to the data. Here you will find information on people and organizations in the Semantic MediaWiki community, a listing of SMW-based sites, a list of extensions themselves, a list of SMW-related events, a list of requested features for the extensions, and a list of "packages", which are collections of wiki pages defining properties, templates, forms etc. that can be imported into one's wiki to create an instant data structure.

MediaWiki is the best known Wiki engine. it is used for Wikipedia and many other projects inside and outside of the Wikimedia Foundation. Over time MediaWiki has grown in functionality and at the same time it became hard to use. This has been recognised and the Usability Initiative is developing much needed improvements to make MediaWiki more usable. Google Wave is a brave new attempt to bring new functionality to well established categories of applications like e-mail, text messaging, wiki and it does it by integrating the functionalities of all of them in a compelling new technology framework. Key elements are the ability to edit in real time with multiple people, an innovative way of showing the history of a wavelet and all this in a WYSIWYG environment.

"The Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) extension allows for managing structured data in your wiki and for querying that data to create dynamic representations: tables, timelines, maps, lists, etc."

"This "sandbox" allows you to carry out experiments and to try your "Semantic MediaWiki" skills. Note that the language of this wiki is set to French (fr)."

The AIFB Web Portal is the public web site of the Institute of Applied Informatics and Formal Description Methods (AIFB) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. It uses Semantic MediaWiki to provide a highly customised Content Management System. The site provides content in two languages (German and English), and it offers rich views for browsing different kinds of data. The content of the AIFB Web Portal is regularly edited by most members of the institute, from secretary to professor, but it is not open for public editing.

following sites have all been featured as Wiki of the Month on semantic-mediawiki.org:

"WikiApiary collects, displays and analyzes information about MediaWiki websites. Once a website is registered with WikiApiary a suite of bots will start collecting information about the versions of software being used, the amount of editing activity on the site as well as the use of Semantic MediaWiki."

Wikidata is a proposed wiki-like database for various types of content. This project as proposed here requires significant changes to the software (or possibly completely new software) but has the potential to centrally store and manage data from all Wikimedia projects, and to radically expand the range of content that can be built using wiki principles.

The implementation is based on the TERRIER information retrieval framework and supports the following features: build an inverted index of a Wikipedia Database provided in the original MediaWiki database schema compute ESA vectors for any text compute Cosine Similarity of ESA vectors (which can be used as semantic similarity measure)

"Semantic Cite (a.k.a. SCI) provides a simple way of organizing citation resources with the help of semantic annotations."

"The Semantic Web is an extension of the Web where data is given explicit meaning. This allows the data to be integrated, processed, shared, and filtered with much greater ease than before. The idea was popularized by Tim Berners-Lee, who was pursuing this goal since the very first draft of the World Wide Web itself."
