Show HN: a semantic wiki built with Django/Python
8 points by mende on April 15, 2013 | hide | past | favorite | 7 comments
We're working on this side project which allows users to create & edit their academic genealogy. Essentially it is a semantic wiki powered by Django/Python. So far all the basic wiki functions like CRUD, tracking edit history, diff different versions, reverting back to previous version, etc are completed.

Here is a demo: http://phdtree.org/

Would appreciate it if anyone can provide feedback/comments/suggestions. Many thanks!!




I may be narrowed minded, but how is this demo site related to "semantic wiki"? Couldn't really see the connection here.


Semantic is really just a buzz word. People say their projects are "semantic" all the time. The word is becoming meaningless. I can see how it's a wiki... It's a database people can edit. Not sure how it's semantic.


The family tree is semantic by nature, it shows the relationships between "entities". But you might have been joking?


Joking about what?



Is your data stored in a graph database? Because that would be cool.


Great, let's take a look.
