Thanks for the great mediawiki add-on! Right now I have a large RDF file
and a RDF Schema that describes U.S. patents, and am in process on
working on exporting a large group of computer patents into RDF (since,
after all, information should be free).

Now, I want for patent researchers to be able to use Semantic Mediawiki
to describe and connect the patents to other useful information.
However, I am having trouble with "importing vocabularies" as suggested
here [1]. I already have converted all the patent data into RDF using
an  RDF Schema for patent data [2], so all I want is to use that
vocabulary in my Semantic MediaWiki, and mix it with FOAF etc. I've
tried to follow the instructions at [1] for the patent schema here [3]
in order for it to be explicitly usable by users of my wiki.

However, if I go to my SemanticMedia wiki [4] and want to get the
following triple to be produced for JohnDoeExample:

http://vis.duke.edu/Research/interface/archive/JohnDoeExample rdf:type
http://vis.duke.edu/Research/interface/patentschema#person.

And:

http://vis.duke.edu/Research/interface/archive/JohnDoeExample
http://vis.duke.edu/Research/interface/patentschema#born
15-02-1961

What do I type when I "Edit" the entry? The example about using
foaf:knows I'm not finding very informative. To I have to make a wiki
page for each of the predicates and subjects defined in my RDFS[2]
before using them? And then how do I just directly use them in the Wiki?
