SMW) is a free, open-source extension to [MediaWiki](https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki) – the wiki software that +powers Wikipedia – that lets you store and query data within the wiki's pages. + +Semantic MediaWiki is also a full-fledged framework, in conjunction with +many spinoff extensions, that can turn a wiki into a powerful and flexible +knowledge management system. All data created within SMW can easily be +published via the [Semantic Web](https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_Web), +allowing other systems to use this data seamlessly. + +For a better understanding of how Semantic MediaWiki works, have a look at [deployed in 5 min](https://vimeo.com/82255034) and the [Sesame](https://vimeo.com/126392433), [Fuseki ](https://vimeo.com/118614078) triplestore video, or +browse the [wiki](https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org) for a more comprehensive introduction. + +## Requirements + +- PHP 5.6 or later +- MediaWiki 1.27 or later +- MySQL 5+, SQLite 3+ or PostgreSQL 9.x + +A list of supported PHP versions, MediaWiki versions and database systems per Semantic MediaWiki +release can be found in the [compatibility matrix](docs/COMPATIBILITY.md). + +## Installation + +The recommended way to install Semantic MediaWiki is by using [Composer][composer]. See the detailed +[installation guide](docs/INSTALL.md) as well as the information on [compatibility](docs/COMPATIBILITY.md). + +## Documentation + +Most of the documentation can be found on the [wiki for Semantic MediaWiki](https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org). +A small core of documentation also comes bundled with the software itself. This documentation is minimalistic +and less explanatory then what can be found on the SMW wiki. It is however always kept up to date, and applies +to the version of the code it comes bundled with. The most important files are linked below. + +* [User documentation](docs/README.md) +* [Technical documentation](docs/technical/README.md) + +## Contribution and support + +[](https://twitter.com/#!/semanticmw) +[](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Semantic-MediaWiki/160459700707245) +[](https://plus.google.com/115301028320198614441/posts) + +Many people have contributed to SMW.
