This is the "Technologies" form - for creating a new page about a sustainable technology, or a technology for resource-restricted contexts.

Metadiscussion of properties

The following are the current main data properties being discussed for the new technology database (using data rich elements) being created.

Technology topic
Status
Scale
Context
Requirements
Skills
Advantages
Limitations

Discussion of properties

Are these the best and obtainable properties?

Properties

Each of the following are properties being discussed for the form.

Technology topic

Proposed values: Fundamental categories?
Format: dropdown list?

Discussion

Should this be selected from our top-level categories or be a set list?
Autocomplete would be great for this.
Is a technology ever in more than one technology topic?
Should this be called Technology category?

Status

Proposed values:
Format: radio button

Discussion

Scale

Proposed values:
Format: radio button

Context

Proposed Values: Urban, rural, survival

How could this be answered in a data rich way?

Other form elements

Image

Just one.

Image caption

This goes with the image. Note that it does not show up in the current Medical device deployment.

Free text

Loaded with preload text and formatting like MediaWiki:Medical Device form preload

Metadiscussion of implementation

Is this form for basic information about technologies similar to how the medical devices form is used? Or does it cover how to information as well?
Is this form for technology devices, projects or everything?

Usage of Portal:Medical_Devices

Use Form:Medical Device to add new Medical Devices.
- Which populates the free text input with MediaWiki:Medical Device form preload.
They use Template:Medical Device.
- What adds all new Devices to Category:Medical Devices. All pages in Category:Medical Devices are edited with the form.
Devices have the following Properties:
Special:Ask can be used to semantically search Medical Devices and build Queries, such as:
- Malaria Medical Devices
Use http://www.appropedia.org/Special:BrowseData/Medical_Devices?_single to browse using multiple aspects.

Semantic MediaWiki info from Jason

All new semantic data should be added using Semantic Templates via Semantic Forms. The Quick start guide provides good guidance here.

After determining your data structure create it with Special:CreateClass.
