How it works/Semantic forms and structured data

Semantic data allow a data consumer to accurately retrieve data based on their semantic meaning. For instance, an internal search engine might serve all your pages marked as "article" to a user searching for articles created by your organization, or articles of a given author, written in a specific time frame, courses of a given languages, delivered by a specific teacher, and so forth.

In order to reach this purpose, we have created a rich set of semantic properties and forms (a form might be considered a container of a consistent set of semantic properties) which can be simply inserted in any wiki page, can be edited as a form therein, and which will transform an "anonymous" wikipage (or html page as soon as it is served) in a database of semantic contents which can be used in the most profitable ways.

For instance, if you create a wiki page describing one of your language courses for a given academic year, that information can be displayed within the main portal of this platform (or whatever other data consumer which will query the APIs) within a list of available language courses, and to fuel interactive functions, for instance the purchase of a number of lessons by a student, a chat between a prospective student and school's manager, and more.

Here is the set of forms/templates available at present: a template is just the form by which the form and content ifself is recorded within a wikipage, so a template is entirely sufficient for describing the data structure filled in by a given form.

Organization

This is the main form/data structured related to your organization. Some of the values foreseen by this templates (like 'coordinates') will be automatically filled in by the related form, which you can find here.
