[edit] Bugs

[edit] Parsing

Repair functionality of pipe symbol in internal link

Just like

[[Java (island)|]]

returns Java,

[[located in::Java (island)|]]

should render Java and not [[located in::Java (island)|:Java]].

Repair functionality of colon in internal link.

Wikipedians often use this syntax:

[[:template:Pass]]

to produce template:Pass

However

[[:located in::Java (island)]]

gives strange behaviour; it renders [[:located in::Java (island)]] , with this relation appearing at the bottom of the page: (Todo, located in, Java (island))^{in&value=Java (island) (+)}

.

• repairing/implementing parsing of attributes.

[edit] Semantic reasoning

• see Examples

[edit] Required features

[edit] Triple Search

• support for namespaces

[edit] Mediawiki integration

• Localisation
• Users should be able to control the visibility of the Relations to other articles box via their user preferences. Those that wish so, should be able to ignore semanticwikipedia completely.
• An option to temporarily disable the semanticwikipedia extension completely. Needed in case that failures or non-scalability reasons of semanticwikipedia bring down wikipedia's servers.
• Printed pages should not contain Relations to other articles box. The adaption is dual:
  1. The printable version should omit the box.
  2. The print stylesheet should be altered.

[edit] HTML

• restoration of XHTML sanity.

delete this rubbish Relations to other articles

<div style="border: 1px solid #aaa; background-color: #f9f9f9;
	padding: 5px; margin-top: 1em; clear: both;">
	<p><b>Relations to other articles</b> 
		— Click (+) to find similar articles.
		<br/>
		Todo  
		<a href="/index.php/Relation:located_in" title="Relation:located in">
			located in
		</a>  
		<a href="/index.php/Java_%28island%29" title="Java (island)">
			Java (island)
		</a> 
		<a href="http://wiki.ontoworld.org/index.php/Special:SearchTriple?↵
relation=located+in&object=Java+%28island%29&do=Search+Relations"

relation=located in&object=Java (island)&do=Search Relations"
			rel="nofollow">
			(+)
		</a>
	</p>
</div>

and use something more semantical:

<div class="relations">
	<h1>Relations to other articles</h1> 
		— Click (+) to find similar articles. 
	<p>Todo  
		<a href="/index.php/Relation:located_in" title="Relation:located in">
			located in
		</a>  
		<a href="/index.php/Java_%28island%29" title="Java (island)">
			Java (island)
		</a> 
		<a href="http://wiki.ontoworld.org/index.php/Special:SearchTriple?↵
relation=located+in&object=Java+%28island%29&do=Search+Relations"
			class="external text"
			title="http://wiki.ontoworld.org/index.php/Special:SearchTriple?↵
relation=located in&object=Java (island)&do=Search Relations"
			rel="nofollow">

		</a>
	</p>
</div>

[edit] Nice features

[edit] Semantic reasoning

• Find the relations between 2 arbitrary articles. Just like [1] does now.

[edit] Triple Search

• a button to reverse subject and object and -if possible - reverse the relationship (via some AJAX-like mechanism)
