如下是一些用户对于Semantic MediaWiki及其相关扩展的褒奖。


At Metacafe, we’ve been using SMW to help our users find the most entertaining content for them. In the online video world, users don’t want to have to sift through unrelated content to find what they’re looking for. If a user wants to see trailers for upcoming movies, or clips from last night’s ball game, it’s not enough to show them a catalog of random trailers or clips from last season. By adding semantic properties to our partners’ video metadata, we can easily group their content in any way our users most want to consume it, as we’ve done in our Sports and Movies Hubs, and that’s a tremendous added value to our users. Thanks for creating this excellent piece of software!

在Metacafe,我们一直在利用SMW帮助我们的用户为自己查找最富娱乐性的内容。 在我们的这个在线视频世界里,用户并不希望为了查找自己所找的东西而不得不去过筛无关的内容。 如果用户想看即将上映电影的预告片,或者是昨晚球赛的剪辑, 仅仅为他们显示电影预告片或上赛季剪辑的随机目录,并不足以满足用户的需要。 就像在我们的体育和电影数据中心(Sports and Movies Hubs)所完成的那样,通过为我们合作伙伴的视频元数据添加语义属性,即可采取用户最希望使用的任何方式,轻松地对他们的内容加以编组,而对于我们的用户来说,这就是巨大的附加值。 衷心感谢造就如此精彩的软件!

We needed a test case management system that would be easy to set up and modify, usable by a brand-new team of volunteer novice testers, and with the capacity to rapidly create custom reports as developers demanded them. SMW and Semantic Forms fit the bill. The flexibility of our system allowed us to adapt to our many changing needs as we prepared to ship software to half a million schoolchildren in the developing world. I've since gone and helped other software projects implement similar setups because of the ease with which you can prototype designs in SMW.

当时,我们需要的是一个测试案例管理系统,要求它易于安装和修改,便于志愿测试员新手所组成的全新团队使用,并且能够按照开发人员的要求迅速创建自定义报告。 SMW和Semantic Forms就满足这些要求。随着我们准备好把软件交给发展中国家的五十万学童,我们这个系统的灵活性让我们能够适应我们那许许多多不断变化着的需求。 我已经去帮助其他的软件项目实现类似的安装,这是因为您可以采用SMW轻松地建立设计原型。

Mel Chua, QA Community Lead 2008-2009, One Laptop Per Child

SMW has provided our clients a flexible system to view, store, and edit their story data. What has been amazing is that the system is truly extensible, allowing updates and changes whenever the need arises. What's great is that by defining the structure of the data in the SMW, you get an admin interface to edit that data for free. We also export the story data for uses at our client sites, which can be updated whenever the data changes. It's a great solution.

SMW为我们的客户提供了一个灵活的,可用于查看、存储和编辑其故事资料的系统。 其惊人之处就在于,该系统具有真正的可扩展性,允许无论何时只要有了需要即可更新和变更。 很棒的地方就是,通过在SMW之中定义数据结构,我们就会获得可用于自由编辑相应数据的管理界面。同时,我们还导出数据,以便在我们的客户网站上使用,而无论何时,只要这些数据发生了变化,均可予以更新。这个解决方案好极了。

SMW is best of breed: open source with a very active community, bringing together Web 2.0 (wikis) with the Semantic Web, thus contributing to the emerging Social Semantic Web. An ideal mix to combine the textual power of wikis with features of online databases and semantics.

SMW乃是最棒的:开源加上非常活跃的社区,将Web 2.0(维基网站)与语义网(Semantic Web)结合在一起,从而为新兴的社会语义网(Social Semantic Web)做出贡献。 这是将维基网站的文本处理能力与在线数据库的功能特性以及语义(semantics)组合起来的理想混合体。

Bernhard Krabina, KDZ - Centre for Public Administration Research

We started looking into Semantic MediaWiki as a knowledge base system about a year ago and were so successful with it after just a few months that we never looked back. It provided us with both flexibility and ease of use and allowed us to develop several applications within the same wiki:

  • An IT systems portfolio management (inventory)
  • A Configuration management for these systems (components and relationships)
  • A Communication component (calendar / timeline of announcements, outages and training sessions)
  • A Request tracking (tickets)
  • A Question tracking (similar to WikiAnswers)
  • A Logging mechanism (to track events, outages related to our systems)
  • A Service Account Password expiration management (with notification by RSS and Outlook)
  • Semantic / faceted search results
  • A Map of our locations (with built-in form to Google Directions)
  • A Self service help system (knowledge base of solutions)
  • And an Advanced glossary (terms organized by domains, with synonyms, related terms, etc)

Usually, these would have required the purchase of several tools, with different licensing schemes, and the development of a lot of integration software to make them work together. All these tools only required a little bit of training and about 25% of the time of a single developer for a year, on a single, low cost platform.

大约一年前,我们开始把Semantic MediaWiki作为知识库系统加以关注,而且仅仅在义无反顾的几个月之后,借助于它,我们取得了如此的成功。 SMW为我们提供了灵活性和易用性,允许我们在同一维基站点上同时开发多个应用:

  • 信息系统档案管理(商品目录)
  • 这些系统的配置管理(各种组件及关系)
  • 沟通交流组件(公告、中断服务以及培训课程的日历/时间轴)
  • 请求跟踪(票证)
  • 提问跟踪(类似于WikiAnswers)
  • 日志记录机制(用于跟踪那些与我们的系统相关的事件、服务中断)
  • 服务账户密码过期管理(提供借助于RSS和Outlook的通知)
  • 语义/分面搜索结果
  • 关于我们位置的地图(备有链接Google Directions的内置表单)
  • 自助服务帮助系统(解决方案知识库)
  • 高级词汇表(按领域组织的术语,且备有同义词和相关术语等等)

通常,这些应用会需要采购若干的工具,且许可协议方案各不相同,而且还要花费大量精力去开发集成软件,好让这些工具协同工作起来。然而,上述那些工具却仅仅需要在单独一个低成本的平台之上,进行一点点的培训,以及花费一位开发人员一个季度的时间。

I am a nurse working in research at Duke University. I work specifically in hematology looking at genetics, psychosocial, clinical, and research laboratory data as they relate to sickle cell disease. Moreover, I work in psychiatry at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. My data-related work involves gathering, organizing, analyzing and reporting data. Both at UNC and at Duke my interest involves diseases that have a very small population. Hence, data is precious and funds are few. Without a doubt, Semantic MediaWiki coupled with the Semantic Forms, Header Tabs, Data Transfer, and recently Semantic Result Formats, and SRF Ploticus, in particular, is the most comprehensive, and the best integration of IT applications that I have seen to fit what we do here.

我是一名在杜克大学从事研究工作的护师。 我专攻血液学,关心与镰状细胞病相关的遗传学、心理学以及临床和科研实验室方面的数据。 此外,我还在北卡罗莱纳大学查佩尔山分校从事精神病学工作。 我的与数据相关的工作涉及到数据的收集、组织、分析以及报告。 在UNC和Duke,我的兴趣都包括那些人群很小的疾病。 因此,相应的数据很珍贵,且资金资助也很少。 毫无疑问,结合语义表单扩展Semantic Forms、标题选项卡扩展Header Tabs、数据传输扩展Data Transfer以及新近的语义结果格式扩展Semantic Result Formats,尤其是SRF Ploticus,Semantic MediaWiki乃是我所见过适合我们这里工作的,最为完善且最棒的信息技术应用集成。

Jude Jonassaint, Duke University Medical Center

I built a dynamic character sheet for the players of my game, in MediaWiki. It's been a breeze to maintain and update, I've got almost 200 pages or so feeding data into a single page through semantic data. It's a very powerful extension and I only wish all wikis had this kind of functionality.

采用MediaWiki,我为我的游戏的玩家们构建了一张动态的角色表。 维护和更新起来简直好似一阵清风。利用语义数据,我们已经实现了让几乎大约200页把数据输送到单独一个页面当中。 这真是一个非常强大的扩展,而我只是希望所有的维基站点都拥有这种功能。

SNPedia was built on MediaWiki long before we knew about Semantic MediaWiki. In the beginning, the most common question was "How many SNPs are in SNPedia?", and with Semantic MediaWiki we were immediately able to answer that question and always be up to date. Since then we've found dozens of other ways to use it for more complicated kinds of dynamic content. Now relevant information finds the user, instead of the reverse, and users see immediate benefits from populating structured content. This makes the site more useful for programs, which in turn are used to improve the site for humans. Semantic MediaWiki helps to create the virtuous circle which continually improves the site.

在我们知道Semantic MediaWiki之前很久,我们就在MediaWiki基础之上建立了SNPedia。 一开始,最常见的问题就是“SNPedia当中到底有多少SNPs?”;然而,采用了Semantic MediaWiki之后,我们就能立即回答出这个问题,而且始终是最新的数据。 从那以后,我们找到了数十种其他的方式,将其用于更为复杂种类的动态内容。 如今,是相关的信息找相应的用户,而不是反过来,因此用户亦可在填充结构化内容的时候看到立竿见影的好处。 这使得此网站对各种程序更加有用,而这则反过来又用于为人类用户而对此网站加以改进。 Semantic MediaWiki有助于建立良性循环,从而对此网站加以持续的改进。

Mike Cariaso, SNPedia

Semantic Mediawiki solves many problems for those I work with, from hard science to non-profit arts groups. It carries forward the potential transparency and access of wikis, but makes pages easier to create, organize and access via forms, and includes many helpful interactive views generated through fine data-reuse. Even without using the future-facing semantic facilities, it's fantastic software, with a friendly, professional community and brilliant insight in its development.

Semantic Mediawiki可为我的合作方解决很多问题,包括从自然科学直至非营利性艺术团体。 其促进着维基站点潜在的透明性和访问能力,但却利用表单使页面变得更易于创建、组织和访问, 而且还包括许多有益的,通过出色的数据复用所产生的交互型视图。 即使是不使用这些面向未来的语义工具,它也是了不起的软件,还有友善的专业社区以及对于其开发活动的远见卓识与深入洞察。

I started to use Semantic MediaWiki after I saw automated timeline created using data from the regular wiki, this changed my perspective on collaborative data creation. I've built TechPresentations using Semantic MediaWiki and beyond collaboration, it was the only way for me to maintain the site because of flexibility MediaWiki provided and data reuse that Semantic MediaWiki added on top of that. I also run a few other wiki-based sites and always use Semantic MediaWiki for data management - when you use Semantic MediaWiki and related extensions, you own your data and not only web pages.

看到了采用来自普通维基站点的数据所创建的自动化时间轴之后,从而改变了我对于协作式数据创建的看法,我才开始使用Semantic MediaWiki。 我已经采用Semantic MediaWiki构建了技术演讲网站TechPresentations,而除了协作之外, 因为MediaWiki所提供的灵活性以及Semantic MediaWiki在此之上所新增的数据复用能力,SMW成了让我能够维护该网站的唯一方法。 同时,我还运行着其他几个基于维基的网站,并且始终采用Semantic MediaWiki来进行数据管理 - 当您采用Semantic MediaWiki及其相关扩展的时候,您所拥有的将不仅仅是网页,还有您自己的数据。

Swiss Experiment or SwissEx is an attempt to enable effective real-time environmental monitoring through wireless sensor networks. Our teams are constantly using features of Semantic Mediawiki to create new semantic web pages with sensor metadata, display them on maps and graphs, manage and change them easily, and last but not least efficiently search and query them. Semantic Mediawiki offered all the support, technology and features in order today for Swiss Experiment to be a wiki with thousands of semantic metadata pages available to researchers worldwide.

Swiss Experiment或者说SwissEx,旨在借助于无线传感器网络实现有效的实时环境监测。 我们的团队正在不断地借助Semantic Mediawiki的功能特性,采用传感器元数据来创建新的语义网页, 将它们显示在地图和图形之上, 轻松地对其加以管理和变更, 最后但不是最不重要的一点就是,对其进行高效的搜索和查询。 为了让Swiss Experiment如今成为一个拥有成千上万语义元数据页面可供全世界研究人员使用的维基站点,Semantic Mediawiki提供了所有的支持、技术以及功能特性。

As a directory of dating spots, mikomos.com needed an easy way for users to find the very specific type of place they needed. Semantic Mediawiki as well as Semantic Google Maps provided an easy way for our users to find these places in the location they were looking, as well as other places nearby. As they are not technically apt, it would be impossible for them to contribute without the help of Semantic Forms. Without these extensions we would have no users and no content. Thanks to all those involved!

作为约会地点目录,mikomos.com当时需要的是一种简便的方法,好让用户能找到他们所需要的特定类型的地点。 Semantic Mediawiki以及Semantic Google Maps(语义谷歌地图)则为我们的用户提供了一种简易的方法,可用来在他们正在查看的范围内找到此类地点以及附近的其他地点。然而,用户们在技术上并不娴熟,因而在没有语义表单帮助的情况下,不可能让他们做出什么贡献。没有这些扩展,我们就没有用户,也没有内容。感谢所有的参与者!
