[OpenLayers-Users] Announcing Semantic Layers

[Matthew Williamson]

Hello all,

Just letting people know, I've just posted version 0.1 of an  
OpenLayers-based MediaWiki extension called Semantic Layers.

MediaWiki, for those that don't know, is the PHP server-side software  
that powers Wikipedia, and is freely available to use on your own  
"wiki" site.

Semantic Layers is an extension for MediaWiki that lets users easily  
add OpenLayers maps to wiki pages. It also ties in with another  
extension called "Semantic MediaWiki" (which adds structured data  
support to MediaWiki), and together they let users add georeferenced  
data to wiki pages and then to perform queries on data resident in  
the wiki.

Its probably simplest to understand if you see it in action, so a  
demo wiki is available at http://s89238293.onlinehome.us/w/ . I'm  
still in the process of fleshing out the documentation, but you can  
figure out most of it by looking at the live demos.

Enjoy! Feel free to post any comments on the wiki "talk" pages.
