Summary: Extension datatypes should be able to control storage
mode
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: ASSIGNED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Semantic MediaWiki
AssignedTo: mar...@semantic-mediawiki.org
ReportedBy: mar...@semantic-mediawiki.org
SMW already allows extensions to register new datatypes, based on custom
implementations for parsing/processing data inputs. However, currently all such
types are stored as "attributes" that are represented as a single string,
possibly with a unit of measurement. This restricts the possible extensions,
since types that derive from Type:Page require a different handling (e.g. to
enable querying by namespace and using sortkeys properly). SMW should be
extended so that extension datatypes can determine the desired handling (by
referring to an existing type).
