{{#set:feature notes = Just like the spreadsheet allows knowledge workers to practically generate software applications, Semantic MediaWiki is no less revolutionary. Non-technical staff can create powerful databases with form-entry, reports, validations, etc. }}
{{#set:feature tests = [[Metadata]] }}
{{#set:feature examples = This page ([[Features]]) uses Semantic MediaWiki to provide a report on all the pages in the [[:Category:Feature|FeatureCategory]]Category }}
With SMW, using 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.
 
== What's It Good For? ==
By using semantic data (facilitated by forms and/or templates), you can turn your wiki into a database of events, hikeslocations, 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.
== Instructions ==
Mark up your page content with inline annotations. Then use the '''[[Special:Browse|Browse]]''' and '''[[Special:Ask|Ask]]''' pages to come up with queries that you can embed into "report" pages.
 
=== Example Annotations ===
;<nowiki>[[explainsFeature::SemanticMediaWiki]]</nowiki>: The regular inline syntax is very similar to Category syntax except the normal 'Category' keyword is instead the property
== Case Study / Guide ==
https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org is the home for Semantic MediaWiki
 
Dr. Cindy Cicalese and the team at MITRE have put together a website showcasing the features of Semantic MediaWiki and how it's used at https://collaborate.mitre.org/gestalt/index.php/Main_Page.
