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]]
| ?Is developed by
| format=outline
}}
produces this:
- Mediawiki (Is developed by MediaWiki foundation and MediaWiki volunteers)
- Some software (Is developed by Many)
Tagcloud
The following:
{{#ask: [[Category:MediaWiki extension]]
| ?Is developed by
| format=tagcloud
}}
produces:
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.
