Overview

This page is dedicated to grouping and defining the default properties of PKC. We have carefully hand selected and predefined a variety of properties and grouped them by use case. You are not restricted by our grouping methods and if you prefer to see a running list of all properties then simply refer to the page:

List of properties

You are welcome to create a property of your own; however before you proceed in doing so we suggest you read and understand Universal abstraction. Naming of pages is one of the most important things you will do when using and operating a PKC. The effectiveness of your naming system can make or break a successful workflow.

Working with properties

When working with properties its important that we understand the variables and functionality of them. Each property that you create can be altered and customized by simply annotating special properties within the object properties page. Semantic Mediawiki includes predefined special properties that are used for functional purposes, See the subcategory Category:Semantic Mediawiki/Properties, to get a full list of the properties and descriptions to each ones individual functions.

The most important special property is the one for defining the property type. By default each page is assigned the property type, but this may not be appropriate for every property and you may wish to access special functions that other types allow, for example Has type::Date and Has type::Geographic Coordinates both allow you to perform special ask queries creating calendars and maps, these features are not available unless the property type has been properly specified.
