Extension:Halo Extension

The SMW Project Halo Extension is an extension to the Extension:Semantic MediaWiki 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 developments was to create tools that increase the ease of use of SMW features and advertise the immediate benefits of semantic content.

Features of the Halo extension
The features of the Halo extension can be divided into four main sections:
 * 1) enhancing wiki navigation - features to ease and speed up navigation and access to articles, as well as semantic data, in the wiki, like an ontology browser and autocompletion
 * 2) improving knowledge authoring - features to allow easy and expressive addition of semantic data to the wiki, like a toolbar to introduce semantic markup
 * 3) simplifying knowledge retrieval - features to query knowledge and access information stored in the wiki, like a query interface and an ontology enhanced search page
 * 4) gardening the knowledgebase - features that allow users to detect inconsistencies and continuously improve the quality of the authored knowledge
