Remote queries?

I know this question comes up every six months or so, but here it is again...

Other than:
* the 'remote query' feature of the Exhibit extension [1],
* the DSMW extension [2],
* 'remote autocomplete' in the SF extension [3], and
* manually dumping and loading files,

what other strategies are there for robustly sharing data between SMW instances?

For a dumb user, could anyone suggest how much work it would be to
implement a 'remote=' option for the regular #ask query?

I'm involved in a discussion about sharing data between SEQwiki.org
and NeuroLex.org, for which there is a possibility of there being some
development funds being available (which I imagine will be very
limited). For this reason, any suggestions about the amount of work
required for developing a particular strategy would be most welcome.

Cheers,
Dan.

Yes, but I'm not sure how to use it to share data between SMWs...
should I point it at a CVS format query on the 'target' SMW?

Re: Remote queries?

I did a little test here:
http://www.verwaltungskooperation.at/index.php?title=Bernhard_Krabina

the table shown is fetching data from
http://www.epsa-projects.eu

You can display data from another wiki within your wiki and set properties based on the remot data....

Bernhard

Re: Remote queries?

Desi used ED to do this.
She did an ask query in the source data wiki with format=csv then used ED
in the "master" wiki, pointing at the URL of the source wiki's csv query
result. Seems to work pretty well with <10,000 results.

Desi, correct me if I'm wrong on the mechanics.

Re: Remote queries?

In reply to this post by Dan Bolser-3

I wrote up my preliminary findings here:

http://bioblog5000.blogspot.com/2012/02/seqwiki-integration-with-neuolex.html

I should definitely include information about the various SPARQL
extensions there too... (I forgot all about them!)

Cheers,
Dan.

Re: Remote queries?

Dan,
Good writeup!
I believe WOM (Wiki Object Model,
www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Wiki_Object_Model and we'll have an update
out soon) can help here. It allows you to do a WOM API call
remote = site wom uri
it forwards the query to the remote site (by WOM / ask api / ...), get json
data (or in other supported data type) back then you can render locally.
It does require the other wiki to run WOM though. So, maybe it is not that
universal solution either, unless you can have NeuroLex to install
something:)
Just FYI.
Jesse

Re: Remote queries?

Cheers Jesse,

Please feel free to add a comment on that post.

The problem with NeuroLex AFAICT is that they've forked their
codebase, and are now running an old MediaWiki... I hope they can
update so that installing new extensions is painless.

If you have a suggestion for a specific text to add to the post, I'll
put that there.

Cheers,
Dan.

Re: Remote queries?

Dan.
Thanks for the info. I know NeuroLex is running an old version of MW and
SMW, I didn't know Steve Larson forked the codebase, though, but he must
have written quite some bots/scripts to auto-generate the pages so he would
have had to update all the code for an upgrade, which can be very
expensive...
We wanted to integrate some NeuroLex data into one of our demo wikis, and
we went the RDF dump way. It wasn't easy and many cases need code written
to properly "import" the pieces we need.
There is clearly a need for interwiki communication :) I think we should
suggest to build it into SMW core.
Cheers,
Jesse

Yes, me too :-)

If you search the ML there should be some threads where Markus
discusses what's needed to implement SPARQL queries within SMW.
AFAICT, it's a matter of plumbing, and it would be a huge win
(especially if combined with SMW being a SPARQL endpoint 'out of the
box')...

While I'm making wishes (they're free right?), I'd also love to see
more automatic 'meta-data' in SMW.

I've updated
http://bioblog5000.blogspot.com/2012/02/seqwiki-integration-with-neuolex.html

to mention WOM, the ask API and SparqlExtension.
