Experimental semantic wiki

This is a proof-of-concept semantic wiki, storing everything (wiki text and triples) in a triple store.

Whenever the wiki text is modified, the triples are updated accordingly; conversely, whenever the triples are updated, the wiki text is altered accordingly.

Installing

This project is written in Python, and depends on rdfrest, which is available as a part of http://github.com/ktbs/ktbs .

rdfrest and all its dependencies must be in the PYTHONPATH.

If you are using virtualenv, an easy way to get up and running is to run:

$ # create virtualenv
$ virtualenv semwikienv
$ cd semwikienv
$ # install dependencies
$ source bin/activate
$ git clone git://github.com/ktbs/ktbs.git
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py install
$ cd ..
$ # all dependencies are here, install and run semwiki
$ git clone git://github.com/pchampin/semwiki.git
$ cd semwiki/
$ bin/semwiki

Using

Semwiki can be used by running bin/semwiki. Option --help provides a list of all available options.

Wiki syntax

The syntax currently supported by semwiki is very minimal:

• text between stars * is emphasized
• four dashes - or more are rendered as an horizontal rule
• a word starting with a colon : is an internal link
• a URI between angle brackets <> is an external link
• two links separated by an arrow -> form a semantic link (of the form predicate -> object)
