Creating book structure
After successful installation, the special page OfflineImportLexicon will be created in your wiki under Semantic MediaWiki Group. Clicking this link, the special page launches and an initial form allows user to enter new books (lexicons). Clicking the Add New lexicon button starts the "New Lexicon Form". This offers to insert bibliographic information about a book. For each book, you can add volumes, and, for a collected edition, articles related to the book (lexicon). In these forms, you can specify the details of your currently created entity. After finishing the description process a wiki page will be created using corresponding template mentioned above. In addition, for articles, you can choose to generate also media file. In a subsequent session, you can add a scanned image of the physical book page.
