Introduction
This knowledge base is built using Semantic MediaWiki an open-source extension for the MediaWiki platform, which is the software behind Wikipedia. It extends the standard MediaWiki functionality to allow for more sophisticated data management and querying capabilities.
Semantic MediaWiki adds the ability to define and store structured data within a MediaWiki installation, and to query that data using the Semantic Web standards of RDF and SPARQL. This enables users to create complex data relationships and to perform advanced data analysis within the wiki.
We are using the Semantic MediaWiki to creating a knowledge management system to manage information about how communities around the world are using technology to facilitate civic engagement, share resources and deliver services.
Interface
The Forms extension for MediaWiki is a tool that allows users to create and manage forms for adding, editing, and retrieving structured data within a MediaWiki installation. The Forms extension is built on top of the Semantic MediaWiki extension, which provides the underlying data management and querying capabilities.
With the Forms extension, users can create custom forms with fields for capturing specific data, such as names, addresses, and other information. These forms can be used to create new pages or to edit existing pages within the wiki. The data entered into the forms is automatically stored in the wiki's underlying database and can be queried and displayed using Semantic MediaWiki's powerful querying capabilities.
The Forms extension provides a user-friendly interface for managing forms, making it easy for even non-technical users to create and manage structured data within a wiki. This can be especially useful for organizations that need to capture and manage large amounts of structured data, such as research institutions or corporations.
