Introduction

Semantic Result Formats (SRF) is a MediaWiki extension, used in conjunction with the Semantic MediaWiki extension, that bundles a number of further result formats for SMW's inline queries. The individual formats can be added to the installation independently. (Mediawiki.org extension page, June 12 2013).

By default, semantic Mediawiki displays results with tables using a column for each query item. A simple example is below:

This code:

{{#ask: [[Category:Software information]]
| ?Is developed by
}}

... will produce this table:

	Is developed by
Mediawiki	MediaWiki foundation and MediaWiki volunteers
Some software	Many

Semantic Result Formats adds other visualization types. Most of these are based on various JavaScript libraries, such as D3.

Examples

Simple lists

This code

{{#ask: [[Category:Software information]]

• Mediawiki (Is developed by MediaWiki foundation and MediaWiki volunteers)
• Some software (Is developed by Many)

D3 Bubble chart

{{#ask: [[Category:MediaWiki extension]]
| ?Is developed by
|format=d3chart
|distribution=yes
|mainlabel=-
|charttype=bubble
|headers=show
|link=all
|charttitle= SMW developers
|datalabels=chart
}}

Notice the use of the following parameters

• distribution=yes" will count occurences
• mainlabel=- will exclude the count of the pages themselves

The result of not using these parameters is below:

{{#ask: [[Category:MediaWiki extension]]
| ?Is developed by
|format=d3chart
|charttype=bubble
|headers=show
|link=all
|charttitle= SMW developers
|datalabels=chart
}}

Notice the use of the following parameters

• distribution=yes" will count occurences
• mainlabel=- will exclude the count of the pages themselves

Requested data could not be displayed due to some insufficient selection criteria.
