Getting Semantic MediaWiki to work[edit]

This installation should not take longer than five minutes. For a detailed description, see the installation guide.

  • Download by employing Help:Using Composer to install dependencies or browse the tarball source for an appropriate download
  • Update by running the `update` script from the MediaWiki root directory.
  • Verify using Special:Version

Working with annotations[edit]


After the installation and without setting specific custom configurations (using the default configuration deployed with the installation) the following images explain how to make annotations that will establish connections between content within your wiki.

  • Apply in-text annotations to a free-text
  • Using `Special:Browse` to display available annotations of a page
  • Type annotation for a user-defined property
  • Display values that are assigned to a specific property

For further help, see the help pages on editing, properties and types as well as on special page "Browse".

Working with templates to add annotations[edit]


A short demonstration on how to use MediaWiki templates and properties to ease the annotation process. It should not take longer than 10 minutes to apply necessary changes. See also the help page on semantic templates.

  • Adding annotation information to a template
  • Using a template to add information to a text
  • Using `Special:Browse` to display information after a template was used

Working with queries[edit]


The final step in the tutorial is to add queries to display requested information about a subject. It should not take longer than five minutes to apply the changes. See also the help pages on selecting pages and on semantic search.

  • Adding #ask queries to a page
  • Display information generated by a #ask query
  • Example of a RDF export generated by a #ask query
