free knowledge base that can be read and edited by humans and machines alike… central storage for the data that may be accessed by the client Wikis
lets you store and query data within the wiki's pages. Turns a wiki into a powerful and flexible knowledge management system.

Semantic MediaWiki leaves your MediaWiki installation intact
no patching, just a (bunch of) MW extension(s) already existing unstructured content can stay as it is or be
transformed
gives you all the tools you need for a collaborative web database

everything is done through configuration Attributes, Forms, Templates, Filters… are wiki pages Queries, parsing, “programming” via Wikitext
