Multilingual Semantic MediaWiki

Multilingual Semantic MediaWiki is a multilingual and semantic MediaWiki. The concept is illustrated by alive implementations (which use Semantic MediaWiki, Wikibase or both):

A few wikis, developed mostly by Niklas Laxström, build on the original concept by Laxström and Kanner (2015) below:

• https://tieteentermipankki.fi/
• https://sanat.csc.fi/ (including a WordNet import)
• https://wiki.aineetonkulttuuriperinto.fi/

Other wikis are focused on a single content language but for (multilingual) linguistic content:

• https://nimiarkisto.fi/

A few extensions and tools have been developed as part of the effort, including WikibaseStatementUpdater. Some configuration scripts were also made available.

Other semantic wikis support translations at some degree:

• https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/

• Laxström and Kanner (2015), Multilingual Semantic MediaWiki for Finno-Ugric dictionaries: paper which defines MSMW and what had been done until then.
• phabricator:T48522 outlines some future work
• tracking issue on GitHub
• Multilingual MediaWiki (historical) and m:Category:Multilingualism for past discussions of multilingualism in MediaWiki
• information on <Semantic-MediaWiki.org> supporting multilingual content.
