Using the Exhibit Result Printer for Visualizing Query Results in Semantic MediaWiki
The Exhibit Result Printer lets users easily create visualizations of query results in a (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
This Walkthrough guides you through the different steps of creating a query.
Of course, the documentation of Semantic MediaWiki and are valuable resources as well.
The Exhibit Result Printer has been developed in the course of a Bachelor's thesis
Examples
The following articles comprise queries that employ the Exhibit Result Printer to format query results:
| Article | Description |
|---|---|
| Beers | Beers of the World |
| Conferences | Shows conferences of the last few years on a timeline |
| SimileResources | A list of resources that are related to the Simile project. It is possible to add additional resources. |
| TechPresentations | Current and upcoming TechPresentations |
| Universities | Universities by country |
Download
The Exhibit Result Printer is part of the Semantic Result Formats (SRF) extension. SRF can be downloaded here. Please use the builds from the SVN repository to get the latest version of the Exhibit Result Printer: svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/SemanticResultFormats/
And do not forget to add the following line to your SRF configuration file:
$srfgFormats[] = 'exhibit';
Feeding Exhibits with Data from Semantic MediaWikis by Using the SMW JSON Exporter
By exploiting the Semantic MediaWiki JSON Exporter, Exhibit can visualize data of SMWs at any place of the World Wide Web. Hence, wiki data finds its way to into other web applications that support the embedding of exhibits.
Documentation
This article depicts the generation of JSON from SMW query results. The JSON Exporter enables the fulfilment of interesting and exciting tasks:
Download
The JSON Exporter is a built-in feature of Semantic MediaWiki. Thus, the exporter comes with every Semantic MediaWiki installation. Please visit to download Semantic
Remote Querying
The Exhibit Result Printer is also able to fetch data from remote wikis. Now you can display query results that originate from an arbitrary remote Semantic MediaWiki in your own wiki. The query results seamlessly fit your wiki environment in data is not stored in the local wiki. With the aid of these query results can be matched and mashed into a website.
