Semantic web, ontologies, that's heady stuff.

And I asked around the university here, where there are people more or less nuts about the whole 'semantic web' thing.
I got told that if you want to do big data imports and exports to a semantic media wiki, the online documentation is more or less nonexistant, but this book www.amazon.co.uk/Working-MediaWiki-Yaron-Koren/dp/0615720307/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488405881&sr=8-1&keywords=semantic+mediawiki probably explains it. It has 3 chapters all about semantic mediawiki at any rate.

So I ordered the book. Will arrive in a week or so. I will keep you posted as to whether this is a good buy or not.

Fascinating stuff. I am sure that it would mean big changes to the way we are currently (naively) tagging the data (only for formatting). Which is fine, as long as we know where we are going to get value, redoing tagging is simple for the export tools.

Still trying to get all the answers I need from the Gameopedia team.

Well, I bought the book but it wasn't that good a purchase. Pretty much all I got there I already had read online. There was neither the 'explain again but more in depth or with more rigor' nor the 'give me lots of examples on how to do this' approach, either of which I find making a book purchase worthwhile. Mostly it is the book for those who want what they can already find on the web organised into chapters for them, and this is not me.
