From MoxyWiki
The Smart Wiki exists to hold information that is useful for people who want to make evidence based decisions. It contains 718 pages, with each page describing a particular subject. Data pertinent to a subject can be stored on the page and made available, not only for others to read, but for others to use in analysis in the support of decision making. This is possible because the Smart Wiki has a semantic understanding of the data that exists on each page.

Searching
There are a number of ways to find information within the Smart Wiki:
- Text based search
- Browse via subjects organised by category
- Following links
- Via the table of contents
Text Based Search
It is possible to search for subjects by text. By using the search widget shown here.
Enter the search term in the box and then click the Search Button to see a list of results, or press the Go Button to go directly to a page if you know its name.
The search results are divided into two parts. The first section is a list of Page Titles that match the query. The second section is a list of pages that contain the search text in their body.
Note that search terms must be at least 4 characters long.
Browse via Subjects Organised by Category
Due to the semantic understanding of the Smart Wiki, it is possible to use this structure to browse the subjects and properties in the wiki. This is done via the Ontology Browser, shown here. A link to the Ontology Browser is available via the left hand Navigation Panel.
The Ontology Browser is a convenient way of exploring the relationships between the Categories, Pages (also known as Instances or Subjects) and Properties that have been created within the Smart Wiki. The Ontology Browser Page is broken into three areas corresponding to these objects. The left most, blue area displays the list of Categories or high level groupings of subjects in the Smart Wiki. The middle, red panel displays the instances and the right, yellow panel displays the facts known about those instances.
For example, expanding the Device in the Category Panel displays a list of subcategories. Clicking on the category Mill displays the pages that have been classified as Mill. The pages that belong to this category are displayed in the in Instances panel. In this case the Smart Wiki shows that the Munch KMPM 520 Pellet Mill which is indeed a type of Mill. Selecting the instance, displays the properties in the Property Panel and indicates what information is understood by the computer. Clicking the open link in the Properties Panel will cause the page to open and will allow you to view the full text of the page.
Following links
It is possible to explore content in the Smart Wiki by navigating the links from one page to another. Note that at any time you can use the What links here function from the Toolbox in the left hand navigation panel, to see the inbound links from other pages to the page you are on. This can be a useful way to find information that is relevant to the current page.
Via the table of contents
A list of all pages in the Smart Wiki can be accessed via the Special:AllPages link that is also available via left hand navigation panel.
