By using semantic data (facilitated by forms and/or templates), you can turn your wiki into a database of events, locations, multi-faceted employee directory, product or service catalog and virtually any other "database" that you can dream up.  The schema of the database is more organic, and doesn't require as much technical know-how to create or modify. Just like the modern spreadsheet allows knowledge workers to practically create "software applications", Semantic MediaWiki lets you do the same; with the benefits of collaboration and sharing the application online.

smw:Semantic MediaWiki is a large extension of the MediaWiki ecosystem. In wikis where it is deployed, you can have semantics (meaning) attached to your words and data so that the words and data are meaningful to the system. The words and numbers become a database.

With simple markup, called annotations, you create the database. This page is an example of making the annotation. And the Features page shows how those annotations become a usable database.
