Hi all,
SMW now has support for exporting data in vCard format, thus letting you
import contacts easily from a wiki into your personal address book. This
feature works similar to RSS and iCalendar exports: a special format (vcard)
is used for semantic queries, and labels of printout statements are used to
describe how wiki properties should be used in the vCard export.
vCards should be especially useful in intranet wikis where a lot of personal
data is found. Sites like semanticweb.org often have only little personal
information. Yet you can see examples there, e.g. at
http://semanticweb.org/wiki/AIFB as well as on any person's page.
An example vCard query is as follows:
{{#ask: [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}]]
| format=vcard
| ?Affiliation=organization
| ?Email
| ?Foaf:phone=workphone
| ?Homepage
| searchlabel=vCard
}}
The labels (e.g. "email" or "organization") have a special predefined
relationship to vCard properties. SMW currently supports the following
labels:
email
organization
homepage
workphone
homephone
cellphone
firstname
lastname
birthday (should by of Type:Date)
note (can be anything, the query results are combined with "," and inserted
as free text)
These map to standard vCard fields in the obvious way. More fields could be
enabled if requested.
Cheers,
Markus
