I attended http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Spring_2010_SMWCon at the MIT CSAIL Lab in sunny Boston. Here are my Twitter microblog comments, my talk is at [[Encouraging Semantic Mediawiki use with non technical people‎]].

* First challenge for smw: visibility
* Second challenge for smw: communication ... duplicate effort
* "no brick walls separating users from developers," everyone welcome to contribute
* Third challenge, less important, funding ... too much money can hurt a project
* "Semantic" is an abused word, use alternatives.. platform.. bur semantic will be the breakthrough?


* @karger - many tools are wrong, developers 'guessing' - smw lets users emerge their data/structure, see more tools like smw
* Philip of @Ontoprise plan fine access controls; rich editor w annotations, queries; social/dashboard; wikibooks; facet browse, rules


* @Ontoprise dev'ing linked open data #LOD between sites — integrate DBPedia (WP), etc; q about dependencies on their proprietary sw
* side skype chat discussing problems with rich text editors that mangle output, same problem for many systems


* Guoqian Jiang @MayoClinic Lexwiki collab ontology dev ('propose' tab), curate, integrity; SMW to scale/distrib experts, hierch probs


* Jie Bao SMW usability (map.rpi.edu, data.gov) UI trumps low level abilities; forms limited; page model restrictive; devs prefer dev
* RDF model 'deeply right' for flexbl DB. Fixes: small cadre dev semantics, most use; inline triples; support mult POV; SMW != RDF


* Timothy Quievryn SMW impact on @wikia (mostly entertainment); Forms great advance, biggest wikis use it; soon all, dynamic games?


* Jesse Wang connects SMW to MS Office for user workflow, usability: uses MS SMartTags. Browse values, easy Outlook export nonfree

This is mostly messy [[User:DavidM | DavidM]] stuff.


* Clarence Dillon @DeptofDefense Flexible, purposive SMW use: mil takes 5 years to roll out; hesitate to collab.

* simpler comm model for mil w SMW. huge money/time savings. spread via peer pressure. organic, private wikis, gov2gov, triage, social
</div>
* social networking critical. remote data, vocabularies. encouraging not using Office at all, directly in wiki. wikipatterns
* avoid noisy data w forms, "nobody above Major/above 35 uses it" (with exceptions) intel. comm. "learn to collab or lose job"


* @karger SIMILE, Exhibit, Dido: structured data in embedded novel interfaces for everyone in author society — lenses, views, facets

* @karger "You only need one person to be interested in something for it to show up on the Web" [http://shawnday.com/drink.html Ontario breweries 1914-1915]
* online course catalog in 4 days, took 6 months to get data from registrar; easy reuse data; datapress embed in wordpress cross site
* Dido inline view/data editor ­— no need to learn schemas, "Make the data look the way you want" separate representation from backend
 
* Yaron Koren @wikiworks Next steps for Semantic Forms better integrated; easier SMW class maint; sep model/view, device UIs; use XML?
* wiki markup vs xml, issues moving away from wiki model to create richer, simpler UIs, markup too complicated: a crossroads
 
* No great answers for n-ary data in SMW — no rich page editing, problems with page model?
