It basically turns CSV rows into [Semantic Subobjects](https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Subobject). Basic Usage ----------- [](#basic-usage) Content can be saved straight into wikitext pages (only option for older wikis) or also as pure JSON pages (only via SpecialPage interface `Special:SDImport`). Namespace configuration ----------------------- [](#namespace-configuration) At the time of writting, mappings of CSV columns against Semantic MediaWiki properties can only be done by configuring (custom or not) namespaces in `LocalSettings.php`. ``` # Example NS definition define("NS_SDImport", 2000); $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport] = array(); $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["edit"] = false; $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["separator"] = "\t"; $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["delimiter"] = '"'; $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["rowobject"] = "SDImport"; $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["rowfields"] = array("Page1", "Page2"); $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["typefields"] = array("Page", "Page"); $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["ref"] = array("ref" => "{{PAGENAME}}"); $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["prefields"] = array( "", "" ); $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["postfields"] = array( "", "" ); $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["json"] = true; # Whether content is stored directly in JSON $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["single"] = false; #Whether to store straight properties-values, but not Subobject (rowobject is ignored) $GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["form"] = false; #Whether to show a form instead of a spreadsheet (as far as single is true) $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_SDImport] = "SDImport"; $GLOBALS['smwgNamespacesWithSemanticLinks'][NS_SDImport] = true; ``` SDImport interface ------------------ [](#sdimport-interface) There is a preliminary SDImport Special Page (`Special:SDImport`) that simplifies uploading content (especially for JSON pages) Properties need to be defined in namespace configuration. At the time of writing: - First column: Page name (in selected namespace) - Rest of the columns, according to rowfields values... JSON schema ----------- [](#json-schema) Keys defined in JSON schema have precedence in front of what is defined in namespace configuration. ``` { "meta": { "app": "SDI", "version": 0.1, "rowobject": "Entry", "rowfields": ["Relation1", "Relation2"] }, "data": [ [ "2", "4" ], [ "2", "5" ] ] } ``` Useful extensions ----------------- [](#useful-extensions) If we enable `$GLOBALS["wgSDImportDataPage"][NS_SDImport]["edit"] = true;` in LocalSettings.php we allow content to be modified by a spreadsheet-like interface. However we might be interested to edit in another way. For this we recommend to install 2 extensions: - [WikiEditor](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor) - [CodeEditor](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CodeEditor) `$wgDefaultUserOptions['usebetatoolbar'] = 1; // user option provided by WikiEditor extension` ### Health Score 24 — LowBetter than 31% of packages Maintenance7 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity54 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 90.5% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
