Help:Result formats
This page describes the result formats available for Semantic MediaWiki (SMW). The result format determines how the results of a query are displayed. On special page Special:Ask they are selected via the dropdown menu „Format as:“ while they get specified with the parameter format in inline queries. If omitted, all queries are displayed as tables (format table), unless there would be only one column, in which case the results are displayed as a comma-separated list (format list).
In addition to the formats provided by SMW itself, extensions can provide additional formats; see Semantic Result Formats and Semantic Maps as examples for two such extensions.
