Metadata

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.
