The Exhibit Result Printer lets users easily create visualizations of query results in a Semantic MediaWiki (SMW). It employs the capabilities of Exhibit, a publishing framework for data-rich interactive web pages, to give structured wiki content a new significance. The user can set up various views on the resulting data such as timeline or map views in order to clear viewers of these enriched articles from analytic tasks. With features such as faceted browsing, sorting and aggregation,Exhibit puts users back in control of large data volumes that wikis tend to contain.
Documentation
Detailed documentation is available here.
This Walkthrough guides you through the different steps of creating a query.
Of course, the documentation of Semantic MediaWiki and Exhibit are valuable resources as well.
The Exhibit Result Printer has been developed in the course of a Bachelor’s thesis. If you are interested in technical details or the detailed motivation that is driving the project, it is worthwhile to look into the thesis.
