Semantic External Query Lookup (a.k.a. SEQL) is a [Semantic Mediawiki](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki) extension to seamlessly integrate query results from an external query source to a local repository or wiki.

The following [video](https://youtu.be/sOCh9M2sSvU) demonstrates the features of this extension.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.3.2 or later
- MediaWiki 1.28 or later
- [Semantic MediaWiki](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki) **3.0** or later

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install Semantic External Query Lookup is by using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) with:

```
{
	"require": {
		"mediawiki/semantic-external-query-lookup": "~1.0"
	}
}
```

1. From your MediaWiki installation directory, execute `composer require mediawiki/semantic-external-query-lookup:~1.0`
2. Add `wfLoadExtension('SemenaticExternalQueryLookup');` to the bottom of `LocalSettings.php`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

[![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1245473/16213390/37da5728-374f-11e6-900c-267279e4a2b7.png)](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1245473/16213390/37da5728-374f-11e6-900c-267279e4a2b7.png)

```
{{#ask:[[Modification date::+]][[~CR*]]
 |?#-
 |?Modification date
 |format=broadtable
 |source=mw-core
 |link=all
 |headers=show
}}

```

The `#ask`/`#show` query only requires to add a `source` parameter (assuming that a query source has been registered and enabled) to retrieve query results from a selected external endpoint. `Special:Ask` will provide a selection box to list enabled query sources.

Information about required settings can be found [here](docs/00-configurations.md).
