Exercise: produce your own question for the Umea FAQ

• Discover the wiki content
  • DSS descriptions, Case Studies and Lessons Learned documentation
  • Check for the properties likely to be useful for querying
• Formulate your question > see the wiki basic concepts and examples below
• Create a wiki page about your question > see the following example Question: Which DSSs were developed by large team of people
• Produce the semantic query > semantic search
• Copy the query in your wiki page
• Add some explanations / comments (why this query, for whom is it relevant, what about the results, why relevant?) > see the wiki markups: [| more detailed help]

Wiki basic concepts

Wiki page

> Basic unit of a wiki, shared knowledge about a concept

> Content:

• Text + resources (e.g., images)
• Formatting > highlight important aspects (bold), list of items, table
• Structure > organise the content of a wiki page in sections; e.g.: =header of main level=
• Hyperlink > link to other wiki pages or outside of the wiki; e.g.: =[[main page]] [[http://www.forestdss.org]]=

Category

> Classification of wiki pages

> Markup: [[Category:category name]]

> Example: [[Category:DSS]] ... means: the wiki page belongs to the category DSS

Protperty

> Formalisation of some specific aspects of the content of a wiki page (basically single words or combinations thereof)

> Markup: [[property name::value]]

> Example: [[has country::Sweden]] ... means: the wiki page is characterised by the fact that it is related to Sweden

Semantic search

> semantic queries to select wiki pages

> Tool: semantic search wiki page

Example with category: [[Category:DSS]]

Result: all DSSs, respectively a list of all wiki pages with the category „DSS“

Example with property: [[has country::Sweden]]

Result: all wiki pages related to Sweden, respectively a list of all wiki pages with the property „has country“ and the value „Sweden“ for this property

Example with category and property: [[Category:DSS]] [[has country::Sweden]]

Result: all DSSs related to Sweden, respectively a list of all wiki pages with the category „DSS“, as well as the property „has country“ and the value „Sweden“

Example with subqueries > semantic sub-queries to search across interconnected wiki pages [[property 1.property 2::value of property 2]]

Automatic search procedure:

1. Select all wiki pages with property 2 and the target value(s) of property 2
2. Select all wiki pages with property 1 and at least a selected wiki page of step 1 as value of property 1

Precondition: value type of property 1 is wiki page

Example: [[has country.has forest area::>1000000 ha]]

Result: All wiki pages related to a country whose forest area is larger than 1’000’000 ha, respectively all wiki pages with the property „has country“ with a value that points to a wiki page, which has the property “has forest area” and a value for this property that is higher than 1’000’000 ha.

Some examples of questions
