Cleaning SMW Data
There must be ways to remove these unused properites - if needs be, using SQL queries. A higher level way is preferable of course, so possibly from Special:SMWAdmin. If that doesn't do it, it might be worth reading http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Repairing_SMW%27s_data. Robin (talk) 12:23, 13 December 2013 (GMT)
- That was my initial reaction on seeing them too, but inquiries to the SMW mailing list brought several replies from people with the same problem and none from the SMW admins/gurus with a possible solution - other than direct SQL querying with phpMyAdmin. I will have a good look at the 'repairing data' pages again though because site SMW functionality is bound to be compromised to some degree by still using 'Data Store 1'. What I have learned from the SMW list and site posts to date is that the SMW user-base is much smaller than I previously thought. That does not bother me too much because the developers are keen as mustard. Down side is have little time for non-geeks with what they probably see as elementary problems outside genuine and obvious bugs - of which there are many - but usually promptly fixed. --Peter P (talk) 13:12, 13 December 2013 (GMT)
Namespaces
How about using more namespaces to differentiate page subjects?
| Namespace | Mandatory Template | Semantic Form | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| document: | Template:DocProv | Form:Document | 3rd Party Publications |
| book: | Template:Book | Form:Book | Articles about books |
| person: | Template:Person | Form:Person | Articles about people |
| event: | Template:Event | Form:Event | Articles about events |
I like the semantic forms - a good help to people to create semantic data.
