Extension talk:Semantic Forms/Example

I'd like to know your opinions on how to name properties:


 * For Authors, why not call the property "Author" instead of "Was written by"?
 * For Genres, why not call the property "Genre" instead of "Has genre"?

Are there guidelines on how to name semantic properties?


 * Well, I like to name properties as prepositions (a) so it makes sense in a sentence, (b) so it's obvious what the relationship is, and (c) to differentiate them from template fields, which are probably called "Author", etc. There are no guidelines, but if you want to, you can think of that as a guideline.

Great example -- next to do, a demo
Great example -- and tool. Can't wait to use it. Would be nice to have a 'demo' as well. Furthermore, would be nice to see how others are able to leverage these concepts at various other wikis. Rauterkus 12:27, 21 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, did you see this section? Also, there are various links in the documentation to discoursedb.org, which currently serves as the main demo wiki. Yaron Koren 15:03, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

AddData
Hi, I made my first experiences with semantic mediawiki with this example - everything works fine except if I add data. If I add a book page I have a red link to its author - yes, but it doesn't point to the "Author" form - refresh page doesn't help. If I create a new page with Author form it's ok. Next problem is, that I don't see a list of the books from the author, but if i query the author via wiki-browser I get the list of books. My Wikiversion is 1.13. What could I have made wrong?? - --Ulli 757 10:27, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * if I make a new save from the author's page it works - but that's not what I want - --Ulli 757 10:20, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Did you follow all the instructions exactly? Unfortunately, without access to your wiki, there's not much I can do to diagnose the problem. You could always create a public wiki on Referata, and try to duplicate the problem there. Yaron Koren 17:12, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
