[16:26:17] me? sure [16:26:21] all the time [16:28:23] i just wanted to start with an example and was thinking of movies [16:29:03] i wanted to know it's good enough to start with [16:29:28] any thing can be done with semantic forms right? [16:29:39] no not exactly [16:29:55] SF offers a form that results in creation or editing of a wikipage [16:30:01] it is not an application front-end [16:30:09] although many people seem to bend it that way [16:48:01] Saruman, i didn't understand it [16:48:24] I mean it is used to add structured data right using forms right? [16:49:03] that depends on how you look at it [16:49:07] literally, that's true [16:49:27] but really SF is "only" a front-end that helps create or edit wikipages [16:49:42] and *they* really add the structured data [16:50:13] You don't need SF to create a good knowledge base [16:50:27] but if you want it to be easy usable, you need SF [16:50:37] and then you can make a good knowledge base into a great one [16:51:47] you mean retrieving and querying knowledge base is good with SF [16:51:54] and that's its usp? [16:52:35] I don't use SF for any retrieving or querying, so I don't know if it can do that or not [16:53:05] saheb, have you looked at the SF examples on Referata? [16:53:23] what do u mean by easy usable and creation of great one? [16:53:30] yeah the books one i did [16:53:52] in which it creates class i.e. wikipages for books and authors [16:54:18] I refer to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms and then the "example" entry in the infobox on the right [16:58:50] okay i can conclude that SF are the nicer easier way to create structured data right? [16:59:26] almost [16:59:46] what do you use it for? [17:00:00] ok an example from my own wiki [17:00:10] http://www.infra-repository.org/oiar-dev/index.php/GF.Backup [17:00:33] that page shows a lot of information on some artefact [17:00:49] how do I enter this information? 2 ways possible [17:01:07] click "view source" and you get an idea of the first, hard way [17:01:32] click "view form" and you get an idea of the second, easy way - with a Semantic Form [17:02:39] kool , got some clear idea now [17:03:01] and there must be a problem of adding sections using forms right? [19:01:52] New patchset: Mwjames; "(Bug 42128) "Powered by Semantic MediaWiki" button redesign" [mediawiki/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki] (master) - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/58320 [19:13:49] New review: Mwjames; "For an image preview make sure to choose the attachment provided by d3mon (Bug 42128)." [mediawiki/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki] (master) - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/58320 [20:29:51] saheb, no there are no problems adding sections using forms [20:30:57] it's just that you'll be presenting the whole of the page, with some button that can add a section. You can't have a form for just that new section [20:31:07] (at least not that I know of) [20:37:08] okay, I think I am getting I am getting it [20:37:56] what can be the benefits of adding forms for sections? [20:46:53] saheb, I wouldn't know how to do that [20:47:30] I can only make forms for whole pages, with the possibility of adding multiple copies of sections [20:51:46] it is a gsoc project :) [20:51:56] so just trying to figure it out :) [21:39:47] yaron, there? [22:06:18] saheb: hello!
