Re: [SMW-devel] Semantic Extra Property Types?
Hi Leo! The duration would be good. I usually need the hybrid "number-string" type with complex sorting for values like "2-5 years" or "2A-4/323" - Yury Katkov, WikiVote On Mon, Jul 15, 2013 at 9:50 PM, Leonard Wallentin < leo_wallen...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > we already have extensions like Semantic Result Formats, Semantic Forms > Input and Semantic Extra Special Properties to gather useful but less > common formats.

[SMW-devel] Semantic Extra Property Types?
Hello, we already have extensions like Semantic Result Formats, Semantic Forms Input and Semantic Extra Special Properties to gather useful but less common formats. Would it make sense to create a similar collection of extra types (possibly moving less used existing ones, like temperature, from SMW core to the extension)? Are there some types that are commonly requested? As for me, I'm missing duration (like [[Cooking time::1h]] or [[Personal best::01:09.48]]). I realize that localization will be difficult for that one, but at least ISO 8601 (PT6M4S) and a few commonly occuring formats (08:42.00, 8時42分, 8 h 42 min, etc) might be possible to implement. Are there other possible types that are missing out there (that someone actually needs)? /Leo ___Leonard wallentinleo_wallen...@hotmail.com@leo_wallentin+46 (0) 735 - 933 543 -- See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.

Re: [SMW-devel] Maps and Semantic Maps: integrating other mapping services
Hi All, We're actually getting some work done on Maps v2.x right now which we hope to "forwardport" to v3. Mostly polygon related stuff - smart labeling, hover, additional layers, autocenter, etc. During SMWCon, one attendee made a strong case for SMW being a great GIS CMS/KMS. Maybe we can round-up people to sponsor extended Maps/Semantic Maps to make this a reality. Especially now that MySQL 5.6, MariaDB 5.5 and MongoDB 2.4 have geospatial capabilities that should allow a lot of very interesting ask queries if the SMW geographic coordinate type took advantage of these technologies. http://www.slideshare.net/henrikingo/spatial-functions-in-mysql-56-mariadb-55-postgis-20-and-others FYI, we actually contributed some patches to ExternalData to return MongoDB GeoJSON polygons in a format that can be used with Maps (see nycpedia.com), but it still feels like a hack and we'd love to do ask queries like, what's inside, next, within, intersects, disjoint, crosses, contains polygon/POI which are now possible in MySQL 5.6, MariaDB 5.5 and MongoDB 2.4. Perhaps some additional SMW geospatial types beyond geographic coordinate? A place type defined by a polygon? Maybe this could be the integration point to start going towards a shared featureset with WikiData? We even looked at Extension:GeoData which now stores coordinates and powers Mediawiki Nearby Places, but its still storing latlongs as MySQL float fields. Best, Joel === Think Different!
