New page

I am working at the [[European Forest Institute]], in the regional office EFICENT-[[Observatory for European Forests]] (my [http://www.efi.int/portal/contact_us/person_index/staff/paul_rougieux/ official staff page]). I am using semantic web functionalities to collect metadata for:
* a '''[[European_Forest_Institute/policy_portal|Policy portal (working page)]]''' on forest policy processes, instruments and institutions.
* a [[List of forest sector economic models]]
* Other projects [[Talk:Observatory for European Forests]]

== Communication ==
'''Properties and types''' are the basic way of entering semantic data in [http://semantic-mediawiki.org Semantic MediaWiki]. Properties can be viewed as «categories for values in wiki pages». They are used by a simple mark-up, similar to the syntax of links in MediaWiki:

: <tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>''property name''::''value''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></tt>

This statement defines a <tt>''value''</tt> for the property of the given <tt>''property name''</tt>. The page where this is used will just show the text for <tt>''value''</tt> and not the property assignment.
*The paragraph on [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Properties_and_types#Turning_links_into_properties turning links into properties] is awesome and simple to understand, yet very powerfull!

*[http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Datasets DBPedia Datasets] are extracted from Wikipedia's structured information present in infobox templates. Their [http://dbpedia.org/snorql/?query=SELECT+*+WHERE+{%0D%0A%3Fsubject+rdf%3Atype+%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fdbpedia.org%2Fclass%2Fyago%2FCapitalsInEurope%3E.%0D%0A%3Fsubject+rdfs%3Alabel+%3Flabel.%0D%0A%3Fsubject+rdfs%3Acomment+%3Fabstract.%0D%0AFILTER+%28lang%28%3Flabel%29+%3D+%22en%22+%26%26+lang%28%3Fabstract%29+%3D+%22en%22%29%0D%0A}+LIMIT+20 SPARQL explorer] looks impressive.
*An '''FP7''' project: [http://lod2.eu/Welcome.html LOD 2] ''Over the past 3 years, the semantic web activity has gained momentum with the widespread publishing of structured data as RDF. The Linked Data paradigm has therefore evolved from a practical research idea into a very promising candidate for addressing one of the biggest challenges in the area of intelligent information management: the exploitation of the Web as a platform for data and information integration in addition to document search.''

== Development ideas ==
=== Not started ===
*Enable users to edit articles offline with an OpenOffice extension: [http://blog.quentin-theuret.net/un-extension-openoffice-org-pour-creer-des-pages-de-wiki/ Une extension OpenOffice.org pour créer des pages de wiki].
*Reuse the [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:RDF_export RDF exports] in an external tool such as those mentionned in [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Reuse Semantic Mediawiki Help:Reuse]
**Try [http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Longwell Longwell] (MIT SIMILE project of a web-based RDF-powered faceted browser), using [http://maven.apache.org/ Apache Maven]
***Try the [http://dig.csail.mit.edu/2005/ajar/release/tabulator/0.7/tab.html tabulator] ("''The code uses the RDF browser written by Jim Ley, without which the activation energy for the project would not have been reached at all. Tim Berners-Lee hacked together the original program in spare time around the end of 2005.''")
**See also [http://semanticweb.org/wiki/Category:Semantic_browser Category:Semantic browser]
*'''Namespace''' : use the portal namespace like on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Agriculture_and_Agronomy Portal:Agriculture_and_Agronomy]

=== In progress ===
*Wy not categorise instruments processes and institutions by Forest europe Qualitative indicators?

See also ideas below.

=== Done ===
*Have the right menu of criteria [[Biodiversity_%28FOREST_EUROPE_criterion%29]] similar to that of indicators [[FOREST_EUROPE_C41_indicator]] (except with the "unhide" function activated for the corresponding criteria).
*Default values in template rendered the page quite ugly, they are now passed as parameter in the template to be completed: ''<nowiki>Scope= {{Fill up|Global, pan-European, European Union, Regional or National}}</nowiki>''
*"SHOWFACTBOX" is currently removed on most pages because it looks ubscure to new users. We could place the factbox in a hidden footer/navbox or Add a link to the special:browse page in the main policy portal template, see also [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Special:Browse Help:Special:Browse] and how the interface parameter $smwgBrowseShowAll can be set to true to show all incoming properties. '''-->''' In fact this is not necessary as ther is a "Browse properties" link on the left menu appearing on each page. + As discussed with Thierry, "''when you plan to show the system, factboxes can be specifically displayed on pages, to ease the demo''."

==== Faceted navigation and controlled vocabularies ====
*A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_classification Faceted classification] system allows the assignment of an object to multiple characteristics (attributes), enabling the classification to be ordered in multiple ways, rather than in a single, predetermined, taxonomic order.
**Example based on 73 e-commerce websites: [http://www.webdesignpractices.com/navigation/facets.html use of faceted navigation]
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_vocabulary Controlled vocabularies]: Numerous methodologies have been developed to assist in the creation of controlled vocabularies, including faceted classification, which enables a given data record or document to be described in multiple ways.

=== HTML ===

Those which do not belong to both categories policy process and policy instrument should be corrected.
=== Cleanup work ===
*Add EFI policy portal template to all [[Forest_resources_%28ToSIA_indicator%29|ToSIA indicators]]
*Categorize [http://ticri.inpl-nancy.fr/wood.en/index.php?title=Special:UncategorizedTemplates&limit=500&offset=0 Uncategorized templates] using the <nowiki><noinclude>[[Category:FOREST EUROPE Template]]</noinclude></nowiki>
*Create [[Template:FOREST_EUROPE_navbox]]

=== Testing semantic elements and templates ===
*[[EFI policy instrument test]]
*[[sandbox]] to test the [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Many-valued_properties type record]
=== Networking with other institutions ===
*Demo page on [[NFZ.forestnet]].

*Add "development stage" icons, used in wiki books: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Help:Development_stages
*Use <nowiki><imagemap></nowiki> to display a mind map from policy portal to link to different parts policies institutions, etc... this is an extension, I don't know if its installed, see [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap extension ImageMap]
*Use a Geolocalisation map such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Location_map_Europe Template:Location map Europe] (or [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:Carte/Europe Modèle carte d'Europe] fr)
*Add contry pages with semantic infoboxes on GDP and contribution of forest sector to GDP
*Use the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Maps Extension: Semantic Maps]

=== Wizards to help new users ===
*Create a new article wizard such as the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_wizard
=== Ontology Editor ===
A [http://sourceforge.net/projects/smwontoeditor/ Semantic Media Wiki Ontology Editor] was developed during the FP7 project [http://www.active-project.eu/ Active]. Is it working well? It would require a test.

=== Adding a browsing link ===
*This is a semantic element [[Description::This is Paul Rougieux's user page]]
*This is the browsing page for this page [[Special:Browse/User:Paul Rougieux]]
