I think this is a great idea. I noticed, for example, here: http://smw.referata.com/wiki/Main_Page Discussion of the concept of a SMW 'package': "which are collections of wiki pages defining properties, templates, forms etc. that can be imported into one's wiki to create an instant data structure." It really seems like such 'packages' (object models) should be 'self describing' on the wikis that use them. i.e. the components of the wiki used to construct such models should be associated with the appropriate semantic markup, allowing the object to be exported via RDF. > Thanks for your insights! > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/--category---is-overloaded--tp22509677p22509677.html > Sent from the Semantic Mediawiki - Development mailing list archive at > Nabble.com. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are > powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
