This is interesting, though it seems irrelevant to this discussion, which is about storing data, not querying it... unless I'm missing something. -Yaron On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 5:32 PM, John McClure wrote: > >Does anyone else have a suggestion? :) > > Normalization would show the day of a week is

I submitted an enhancement based on a patch I made locally to extend Last Modification Date to the RDF export functions and by extension, to the triple store connector if there is one. I didn't get around to produce a diff file yet, so I included the updated files for now. It would be nice to hav

Well, I think the basic 'xofmonth' functionality is the way to go - a single new value that takes care of everything. Assuming the new code works, I can add it in to SMW myself, since #set_recurring_event is basically my code. I'll probably wait until after SMW 1.5 is released, though... For the n

Hi, well the number of possible fields in n-ary properties is a make or break criteria for me to be able to use MW/SMW, so it's a point I don't dare to lose out of sight. Right now the largest properties I added to the wiki have 15 to 20 fields (but there are potential data with 60+). 'Unlimited'
