Semantic MediaWiki

Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) is a free extension of MediaWiki that helps to search, organize, tag, browse, evaluate, and share the wiki's content. While traditional wikis contain only texts which computers can neither understand nor evaluate, SMW adds semantic annotations that bring the power of the Semantic Web to the wiki.

There are many of other extensions based on SMW, for example Semantic Forms, which allows users to add, edit and query data using forms.
