Perhaps a special virtual namespace, e.g. [[ArticleMetaProperty:Last modified date]] ? The SMW query code would notice this virtual namespace and retrieve the metadata. For extensibility, it could call back into custom code that gets a particular metadatum property; though appending extra SQL code seems very fragile. And doing this really ties SMW into MediaWiki database internals. Some of the names you want to query on are in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Variable, like {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}}. But this missing things like "username who last modified", "page size", etc. Hard to do, hard to maintain, hard to extend, but it would be very useful. -- =S ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
