Wikispooks:SMWObject

SMWObjects on Wikispooks are a consequence of using Semantic Mediawiki. Each page is assigned to one of the below object types by using the matching template. The most important main: namespace templates are: person, group, event and concept. All items in the document: namespace must be of type document.

Subobjects

In fact there is not quite a one to one relationship between semantic objects and pages, since the software allows definition of more than one semantic object on each page. Wiksipooks currently uses this facility in the SMWQ and Job templates, which both define their own semantic subobjects (for quotations and job postings respectively). (To allows references to these data to appear on other pages).

Semantic Objects summary

The full breakdown of Wikispooks:Semantic Objects is as follows.

Object Name	#Objects	Status	Description
Concept	2,585	stable	This is a catch-all object, to be used on all pages where the other objects don't apply. Extra top level objects will probably be split off from it in due course.
Decade	30	experimental	The object for calendar decades.
Document	2,265	stable	This object is only to be used for pages in the document: namespace. It is for documents created by 3rd parties. Document Editing Rules apply.
Employment	2,554	stable	The object for names of jobs important enough to have their own Wikispooks page.
Event	1,358	stable	The object for experiences/operations that happened, will happen or were planned to happen.
Group	4,913	stable	The object for groups of people. For individuals, use 'person'
Person	13,536	stable	Use if the subject of the page is an individual human being. For multiple people, use the 'Group' object.
Place	374	experimental	This experimental object is for regions, cities, grassy knolls, wine cellars etc.
Property	265	stable	The relationships used by SMW to connect pages together. This object mandated for the property: namespace.
Publication	258	experimental	This is for pages in the Main: namespace about 3rd party publications. For the contents of these publications, use Template:Document in the Document: namespace.
Quotation	2,124	stable	Quotations are the record of speech of third parties. Direct quotes must be within double quote marks.
Video	64	stable	The object for videos.
Website	405	stable	The object for websites. This is currently the only main namespace object which doesn't have an infobox.
Year	344	stable	The object for calendar years.
