Semantic Compound Queries Extension Version 0.3.4 Yaron Koren This is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License. Please see http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html for further details, including the full text and terms of the license. == Overview == Semantic Compound Queries is an extension to MediaWiki that defines a parser function, '#compound_query', that displays the results of the equivalent of multiple Semantic MediaWiki #ask queries at the same time. The syntax of #compound_query resembles that of #ask, but with more than one query, and with the elements of each sub-query delimited by semicolons instead of pipes. Elements that are common across all sub-queries, like 'format=' and 'width=' (for maps) should be placed after all sub-queries. A sample call to #compound query, which retrieves both biographies, along with their subject; and fiction books, along with their author; is: {{#compound_query:[[Category:Books]][[Has gentre::Biography]];?Covers subject=Subject |[[Category:Books]][[Has genre::Fiction]];?Has author=Author |format=list}} For more information, see the extension homepage at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Compound_Queries == Requirements == This version of the Semantic Compound Queries extension requires MediaWiki 1.16 or higher and Semantic MediaWiki 1.6 or higher. == Installation == To install the extension, place the entire 'SemanticCompoundQueries' directory within your MediaWiki 'extensions' directory, then add the following line to your 'LocalSettings.php' file: require_once( "$IP/extensions/SemanticCompoundQueries/SemanticCompoundQueries.php" ); == Contact == Comments, questions, suggestions and bug reports should be sent to the Semantic MediaWiki mailing list: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/semediawiki-user If possible, please add "[SCQ]" at the beginning of the subject line, to clarify the subject matter.
