Experimental semantic wiki
==========================

This is a proof-of-concept semantic wiki,
storing everything (wiki text and triples) in a triple store.

Whenever the wiki text is modified, the triples are updated accordingly;
conversely,
whenever the triples are updated, the wiki text is altered accordingly.

Installing
----------

This project is written in Python,
and depends on ``rdfrest``, which is available as a part of
http://github.com/ktbs/ktbs .

``rdfrest`` and all its dependencies must be in the ``PYTHONPATH``.

If you are using `virtualenv`_, an easy way to get up and running is to run::

$ # create virtualenv
$ virtualenv semwikienv
$ cd semwikienv
$ # install dependencies
$ source bin/activate
$ git clone git://github.com/ktbs/ktbs.git
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py install
$ cd ..
$ # all dependencies are here, install and run semwiki
$ git clone git://github.com/pchampin/semwiki.git
$ cd semwiki/
$ bin/semwiki

.. _virtualenv: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv

Using
-----

Semwiki can be used by running ``bin/semwiki``.
Option ``--help`` provides a list of all available options.

Wiki syntax
-----------

The syntax currently supported by semwiki is very minimal:

* text between stars ``*`` is emphasized
* four dashes ``-`` or more are rendered as an horizontal rule
* a word starting with a colon ``:`` is an internal link
* a URI between angle brackets ``<>`` is an external link
* two links separated by an arrow ``->`` form a *semantic* link
(of the form predicate -> object)
