'''Annotation''' of data in [[Directory:Centiare|Centiare]] is what really makes this site "pop".  By assigning tags to different nuggets of information as either '''Categories''', '''Relations''', or '''Attributes''', we enable both humans and computers the ability to execute [[Centiare:ASK|amazing "ASK" searches]] of all Centiare's contents.  There is a [[Special:Categories|list of all Categories]], a [[Special:Relations|list of all Relations]], and a [[Special:Attributes|list of all Attributes]] used in Centiare, to date.  If you're thinking of adding a new Category, Relation, or Attribute that you've dreamed up, check these lists first -- maybe someone has already created what you're considering. Or, you'll get a better idea of how to name your new annotation.

'''Annotation''' of data in Centiare is what really makes this site "pop", and greatly assists in [[search engine optimization]] (SEO).  By assigning tags to different nuggets of information as either '''[[Special:Attributes|Attributes]]''', '''[[Special:Categories|Categories]]''', or '''[[Special:Relations|Relations]]''', we enable both humans and computers the ability to execute [[Centiare:ASK|amazing "ASK" searches]] of all Centiare's contents.  If you're thinking of adding a new Category, Relation, or Attribute you've dreamed up for your own custom requirements, check these lists first -- maybe someone has already created what you're considering.

This page explains the basic annotation features for [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic MediaWiki]. Annotations are special mark-up elements which allow users to label some parts of the directory's content, so that software tools can use them to assist other users.  The annotations 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 [[Centiare:Template namespace|template]]s). Users who are not familiar with the basics of editing MediaWiki should first read the [[Centiare:Cheatsheet|Cheatsheet]].
