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).
For installation tips, read the Semantic MediaWiki article, i.e. we suggest to use the composer dependency manager.
In order to understand result formats, you must understand how to formulate queries. The Semantic MediaWiki page includes a short introduction. Better, read the official documentation, in particular: Selecting pages. In a nutshell, you should know that queries return lists of pages or lists of pages with lists of property values.
Examples in this page use "real" data, i.e. all the properties/values defined in the pages of the MediaWiki extension category. By the way, in this wiki, most property values are defined through templates using Semantic Forms.
Ordinary SMW result formats
By default, SMW already includes a series of result formats as documented here.
Of particular interest for creating wiki pages are:
- The table format. The default format for queries that include at least one property to display. See an example below.
- The list format. The default format for queries that do not include properties to display. See an example below.
- The ul and ol extend the list format to numbered and bulleted lists with additional output shown in parenthesis
- The template format. Allows to use templates for custom formatting
In addition, there is a whole range of formats meant for download. For example
- The CSV format could be useful for exporting a query result for further analysis
All or (most?) formats share the same base parameters:
⧼validator-describe-header-parameter⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-type⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-default⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-description⧽ |
---|---|---|---|
source | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-empty⧽ | Alternative query source |
limit | ⧼validator-type-integer⧽ | 50 | The maximum number of results to return |
offset | ⧼validator-type-integer⧽ | 0 | The offset of the first result |
link | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | all | Show values as links |
sort | ⧼validator-type-string-list⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-empty⧽ | Property to sort the query by |
order | ⧼validator-type-string-list⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-empty⧽ | Order of the query sort |
headers | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | show | Display the headers/property names |
mainlabel | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | no | The label to give to the main page name |
intro | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-empty⧽ | The text to display before the query results, if there are any |
outro | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-empty⧽ | The text to display after the query results, if there are any |
searchlabel | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | ... further results | Text for continuing the search |
default | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-empty⧽ | The text to display if there are no query results |
The most important parameter could be mainlabel. Use
mainlabel=-
to suppress printing the first result column which is the wiki page that includes a matching query
mainlabel=Some sort of title
to add a title to the first column.
Supressing the first column is something that also applies to charts produced by Semantic Result Formats extensions ! Do not forget !
The table format
Below is a simple example of a table with three columns: Names of matched pages (i.e. all pages in the category) and values of the Is developed by and Is related to properties found in these pages.
This code:
{{#ask: [[Category:MediaWiki extension]]
| ?Is developed by
| ?Is related to
| limit=3
}}
... will produce this table:
Is developed by | Is related to | |
---|---|---|
Maps (MediaWiki extension) | Jeroen De Dauw others | Semantic Maps |
Mediawiki collection extension installation | PediaPress.com Siebrand Mazeland Marcin Cieślak | |
Page Forms | Yaron Koren Stephan Gambke others | Semantic MediaWiki Semantic Drilldown Semantic Forms Inputs Semantic Maps Semantic Result Formats |
... further results |
The table format can take additional parameters.
⧼validator-describe-header-parameter⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-type⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-default⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-description⧽ |
---|---|---|---|
class | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | sortable wikitable smwtable | An additional CSS class to set for the table |
transpose | ⧼validator-type-boolean⧽ | no | Display table headers vertically and results horizontally |
sep | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-empty⧽ | The separator between results |
prefix | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | none | Control display of namespace in printouts |
Now, semantic Result Formats adds other visualization types. Most of these are based on various JavaScript libraries, such as D3. Read on ....
List format
The list format takes the following extra parameters:
⧼validator-describe-header-parameter⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-aliases⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-type⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-default⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-description⧽ |
---|---|---|---|---|
propsep | - | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | , | The separator between the properties of a result entry |
valuesep | - | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | , | The separator between the values for a property of a result |
template | - | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-empty⧽ | The name of a template with which to display the printouts |
named args | namedargs | ⧼validator-type-boolean⧽ | no | Name the arguments passed to the template |
userparam | - | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-empty⧽ | A value passed into each template call, if a template is used |
class | - | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-empty⧽ | An additional CSS class to set for the list |
introtemplate | - | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-empty⧽ | The name of a template to display before the query results, if there are any |
outrotemplate | - | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-empty⧽ | The name of a template to display after the query results, if there are any |
sep | - | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | , | The separator between results |
prefix | - | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | none | Control display of namespace in printouts |
The following query gets all pages in the MediaWiki extension and displays both the hit (i.e. the page) and the value of Is developed by property:
list of names: {{#ask: [[Category:MediaWiki extension]]
| ?Is developed by
| format=list
}}
... will produce this list of names: Maps (MediaWiki extension) (Is developed by: Jeroen De Dauw, others), Mediawiki collection extension installation (Is developed by: PediaPress.com, Siebrand Mazeland, Marcin Cieślak), Page Forms (Is developed by: Yaron Koren, Stephan Gambke, others), Semantic Drilldown (Is developed by: Yaron Koren, David Loomer), Semantic Forms Inputs (Is developed by: Stephan Gambke, Yaron Koren, Jeroen De Dauw, Sanyam Goyal, Yury Katkov, others), Semantic Maps (Is developed by: Jeroen De Dauw, others), Semantic MediaWiki (Is developed by: Markus Krötzsch, Denny Vrandecic, Jeroen De Dauw, others), Semantic Result Formats (Is developed by: Jeroen De Dauw, Frank Dengler, Steren Giannini, James Hong Kong, Fabian Howahl, Yaron Koren, Markus Krötzsch, David Loomer, Joel Natividad, Denny Vrandecic, Nathan Yergler, others), VisualEditor You can see that we have to require list format, else we would have gotten a table
The following query gets all pages in the MediaWiki extension that include a Is developed by property. It will only display the (useless) Is developed by values.
list of names: {{#ask: [[Is developed by::+]][[Category:MediaWiki extension]]
|?Is developed by
|mainlabel=-
}}
... will produce this list of names: Is developed by: Jeroen De Dauw, others, Is developed by: PediaPress.com, Siebrand Mazeland, Marcin Cieślak, Is developed by: Yaron Koren, Stephan Gambke, others, Is developed by: Yaron Koren, David Loomer, Is developed by: Stephan Gambke, Yaron Koren, Jeroen De Dauw, Sanyam Goyal, Yury Katkov, others, Is developed by: Jeroen De Dauw, others, Is developed by: Markus Krötzsch, Denny Vrandecic, Jeroen De Dauw, others, Is developed by: Jeroen De Dauw, Frank Dengler, Steren Giannini, James Hong Kong, Fabian Howahl, Yaron Koren, Markus Krötzsch, David Loomer, Joel Natividad, Denny Vrandecic, Nathan Yergler, others
List format on steroids
For custom formatting, use templates. Read the official Template format documentation.
The CSV format
In addition to the base parameters, the CSV format takes the following:
⧼validator-describe-header-parameter⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-type⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-default⧽ | ⧼validator-describe-header-description⧽ |
---|---|---|---|
sep | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | , | Specifies a column separator |
valuesep | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | , | Specifies a value separator |
showsep | ⧼validator-type-boolean⧽ | no | Show separator in top of CSV file ("sep=<value>") |
filename | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | result.csv | The name for the output file |
merge | ⧼validator-type-boolean⧽ | no | Merge rows and column values with an identical subject identifier (aka first column) |
bom | ⧼validator-type-boolean⧽ | no | Add a BOM (character to signal endianness) at the top of the output file |
The following produces a downloadable CSV file using the default comma (,) separator:
Download: {{#ask: [[Category:MediaWiki extension]]
| ?Depends on
| ?Is developed by
| ?Has status
| ?Is related to
| format=CSV
}}
Download: CSV
Using templates
Template format can be used to taylor output, for example:
- Changing the order in which output is displayed, or omitting or duplicating output;
- Displaying images depending on query results;
- Creating links for property values;
- Using CSS styles to vary font-size, alignment, background-color, etc. by column in tables.
Examples of Semantic Result Formats
I.e. (some of) the ones we use here ...
Extensions to SMW can add other result formats. All (or most) of these display formats can be obtained with this extension. However, you will have to pay attention to the configuration parameters, i.e. by default, not all Semantic Result Formats are available if you just install and load this extension. Some JavaScript libraries have to be enabled.
Also, for many types of graphics, you will have to use to the distribution=yes
parameter.
Notice that the #smwdoc parser function allows for automatic parameter documentation generation for all result formats. E.g. if you are tired of looking up documentation at smenatic-mediawiki.org, you could insert something like {{#smwdoc:table}} in a wiki, page like we did here (look at the source of this page)
Simple lists
There are three variants: outline, ol and ul

|format=d3chart
|distribution=yes
|mainlabel=-
|charttype=bubble

|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
We roughly get the same information as in the word cloud.
The result of not using mainlabel=- is below:
{{#ask: [[Category:MediaWiki extension]][[Is developed by::+]]
| ?Is developed by
|format=d3chart
|distribution=yes
|charttype=bubble
|headers=show

}}
Useless resulting chart:
JqPlotChart
The Jpplotchart result format allows to create five different types of charts: bar, line, donut, bubble and scatter. Each of these requires a certain data model. Data sets can grouped depending of its source.
This extension has many parameters. Some only make sense with certain types of charts.

charttype | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | bar | Available chart type |
The following example doesn't use numerical data values, but counts occurences using the parameter distribution=yes-
Donuts
{{#ask:[[Category:MediaWiki extension]][[Is related to::+]]
|?Is related to
|mainlabel=-
|format=jqplotchart
|charttype=donut
|chartlegend=e
|charttitle= Related extensions (%)
|distribution=yes
|width=33%
|datalabels=percent
}}
Bar chart
{{#ask:[[Category:MediaWiki extension]][[Is related to::+]]
|?Is related to
|mainlabel=-
|format=jqplotchart
|charttype=bar
|charttitle= Related extensions
|distribution=yes
|width=33%
|datalabels=percent
}}
To display more than one property in a chart, it's probably best to group (else you get all the data in the same ring or bar). However, you need numerical data for that (I believe ...)

Tips
Getting it to work with MW 1.24
- Install like for 1.22+ as explained in the official doc. Make sure to install recent GraphViz and Image Map extensions.
- Fix a JQuery problem: As explained in the release notes for MW 1.24, jQuery was upgraded from 1.8.3 to 1.11.1. This will break the jqplot library. To fix the problem, do the two following:
- Add
$wgIncludejQueryMigrate = true;
to LocalSettings.php
Doesn't seem to take all data
By default an inline query made with #ask only returns 50 results. This number can be misleading. If you do a query that aggregates pages (using distribution, sum, count, etc.), "limit" concerns the number of the pages you will retrieve before passing their data to a result format. Limit does not specify the number of pages (or other elements) that are on display !
This behavior can be changed by setting smwgQDefaultLimit to higher value in LocalSettings.php
Alternatively, use limit=
in the query. In the example below, we will see one chart element for each page, but there is a huge multiple of pages found. If limit is too low, results will simply be wrong !
