Main Page

Welcome to the NeoWiki demo wiki!

NeoWiki turns your wiki into a collaborative graph database by letting you store and query structured information. Information is stored in versioned document form inside wiki pages. The latest version is also stored in graph databases, via which it can be queried.

NeoWiki is in the experimental proof-of-concept phase. It is not production-ready, public interfaces will change, big structural changes will happen, and key functionality is still missing.

This demo exists to gather feedback to inform further development.

You can find technical documentation in the NeoWiki git repository. You can also view the issue tracker or contact Professional Wiki (the maintainer of NeoWiki).

Discover NeoWiki Step by Step

Terminology is explained in the glossary.

As a reader:

• View a Subject: Professional Wiki
• View a Schema: Schema:Company

As an editor:

• Edit a Subject: Professional Wiki (login required)
• Edit a Schema: either via a Subject using it, i.e. Professional Wiki, or directly on the Schema page, i.e. Schema:Company
• Create a Subject: Create a new page with any content and click "Create subject". That button is there just for the PoC.

As a developer:

• View Subject JSON: Special:NeoJson/ACME_Inc (developer UI, normal users will not see JSON. View docs)
• Query the graph database: Cypher raw example
• Read values in wikitext: Value parser function
• Read values in Lua: Lua Data Access
• Explore the REST API

Schemas and Layouts

Schemas define the structure of your data. For instance, you can define that an Employee has a compensation in EUR with a value between 0 and 1000000.

• Schema:Company, Schema:Product, Schema:Employee
• Schema:Museum, Schema:Artist, Schema:Artwork, Schema:Exhibition, Schema:Attendance
• View all schemas

Layouts customize how Subjects are displayed by selecting which properties to show and in what order.

• Layout:CompanyOverview
• View all layouts

REST API Endpoints

We will have OpenAPI docs later. For now, you can find a complete and up-to-date list by looking at the MediaWiki API route definitions. Search for "RestRoutes".

Example URL: https://neowiki.dev/w/rest.php/neowiki/v0/subject/s1demo4sssssss1

Read Endpoints

• GET /neowiki/v0/subject/{subjectId} Gets the JSON definition of a subject
• GET /neowiki/v0/schema/{schemaName} Gets the JSON definition of a schema

Write Endpoints

These require a CSRF token, first obtained via api.php?action=query&format=json&meta=tokens&type=csrf

• POST /neowiki/v0/page/{pageId}/mainSubject Creates a new main subject
• POST /neowiki/v0/page/{pageId}/childSubjects Creates a new child subject
• PATCH /neowiki/v0/subject/{subjectId} Updates a subject
• DELETE /neowiki/v0/subject/{subjectId} Deletes a subject

These endpoints are designed for the NeoWiki frontend. They are not a complete general purpose API yet.
