Semantic Mediawiki

Intro video 1

An open source software turns information into data

The ability to make information extractable and accessible data. This gives you the ability to automatically draw any data together in comparable forms and process them with services in meaningful ways. This processed data can be displayed into charts, maps, graphs, photos, and even music.

This process is done by creating forms, which dictate how the information will be captured and processed.
