This page explains the basic '''annotation''' features for [[Semantic MediaWiki]]. Annotations are special markup-elements which allow editors to make some parts of the wiki's content explicit so that software tools can use them to assist the users. In particular, semantic annotations provide the basis for more powerful [[Help:Browsing and searching|search functions]] within the wiki. They also allow changes in data on one page to automatically propagate to other pages containing the same data (somewhat comparable with what can be done with [[meta:help:template|template]]s). Users who are not familiar with the basics of editing MediaWiki should read [[Help:Editing]] first.
