InterSchema

I think SMW's support for Importing vocabulary covers this, see for example Property:Foaf:knows. Also the special Property:Equivalent URI may apply -- Skierpage 04:01, 22 December 2007 (CET)

An idea for extending the RDF namespaces of a SemanticWiki: Similar to the idea of InterWiki, a Semantic wiki should have a list of frequently used external RDF Schemata, together with a shortcut for internal usage:

for example:

• "foaf": http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/
• "rdf": http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#

Every schema of the InterSchema list is automatically imported by the SemanticWiki and the users can use the vocabulary inside typed links.

For example A knows [[foaf:knows::B]] will be represented in RDF as follows:

<rdf:RDF>
 <rdf:Statement>
  <rdf:subject   rdf:resource="A" />
  <rdf:predicate rdf:resource="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows" />
  <rdf:object    rdf:resource="B" />
 </rdf:Statement>
</rdf:RDF>
