Extension:Halo Extension

The Halo extension is an extension to Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) and has been developed as a part of Project Halo in order to facilitate the use of Semantic Wikis for a large community of users. Main focus of the development was to create tools that increase the ease of use of SMW features and advertise the immediate benefits of semantic content.

A demonstration video of the extension's main features is available at http://www.ontoprise.de/smwdemo/.

The features of the Halo extension can be divided into three main sections:

 * improving knowledge authoring - features to allow easy and expressive adding of semantic data to the wiki
