Identify your goals with SMW+
|
|
|
| SMW+ is a highly versatile Wiki that can serve a lot of purposes and that grows with your demands. You can use it for project management, as self service portal in your enterprise or even as reporting tool for business intelligence (requires additional software from Ontoprise). We recommend that you write down your goals that you want to accomplish with this Wiki installation. In a second step you can find out if others have already done what you have in mind, i.e. if there is already a WikiApp at hand (see below!) Draft your goals that you want to accomplish in a Wiki page:

Find WikiApps for your Wiki

Create your datamodel

|
|
| The datamodel is the core of any application with SMW+. We recommend that once you know what you want to achieve you should start right away in casting it into a datamodel. Open the DataExplorer to create your datamodel in this Wiki:

Find extensions for your Wiki
|
|
|
| SMW+ comes with basic features that you can easily extend with special purpose extensions. You probably find the Collaboration extension useful because you want to allow users to leave comments or the Access Control List extension because you want to restrict users from some data. They can be installed with Wiki Administration Tool. Read more about the current list of available SMW+ Extensions:
