Our improvements
- Query optimizer: identical subqueries are executed only once, identical terms are removed from conjunctions/disjunctions («a AND a», «a OR a» == just a)
- Conjunction-of-disjunctions execution bug: in the original SMW, «(a OR b) AND (c OR d)» query was not executed at all! (test case: {{#ask: <q>[[A::B]] OR [[C::D]]</q> <q>[[E::F]] OR [[G::H]]</q> | format=debug }}). Patch sent to github: https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/19
- Negation operator support: syntax is {{#ask: [[prop::val]] !<q>...subquery...</q> }} or just {{#ask: [[prop::val]] ![[prop2::val2]] }}. Patch sent to github: https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/20
- Disable forced type-named properties: in the original SMW, data type aliases also have an unpleasant side-effect: if a property name matches the alias of some data type (for example «Telephone number») — the property will have that data type forced and you cannot override it. Patch sent to github: https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/21
- Automatic refresh of all pages with semantic queries on any property update — in the original SMW you have to manually refresh it every time. Of course this can lead to frequent cache flushes — even the queries that don’t use the updated property are flushed — but at least the user always gets correct query results.
