What is ProfiWiki?
Profiwiki is
- a ContentMangementSystem (CMS)
- a DocumentManagemtSystem (DMS)
that is based on MediaWiki and semanticMediaWiki.
A ProfiWiki is a standard MediaWiki which is extends with Semantic MediaWiki and other extensions. The result is combination of a Wiki and a Graph database system. Useful functions like a UML documentation, comfortable upload by drag&drop and PDF export are already integrated.
To make the approach useable the ProfiWiki system used a Ryhtm Template engine and a predefined MetaModel. This way the Wiki can be extends with Standard-Java "Actions" / Scripts which make it possible to work on all kinds of data to e.g. import the data into the wiki or export things from the wiki. Anything that is accessible with a Java library can be integrated this way.
Examples are Office and PDF Documents and naturally quite a few other things.
The database structure can be modified directly in the Wiki. MetaModell, Modell and generated pages are handled in the same way. In principle a ProfiWiki works like a small "integrated development environment".
The utility of the Wiki lies in the collaboration possibilities. It is possibble to combine unstructured. spontaneous content with structure contend based on Forms Lists and Categories. This way users on different levels can be addressed. Those that want to use all details as well as users that do just want to occasionaly use the wiki without reading any manuels and just want to "click from page to page" and add data with predefined forms.
ProfiWiki is a product that increases the benefit you get from Semantic Media Wiki and simplifies the structuring of your wiki.
Profiwiki consists of:
- a set of predefined templates, pages and media files
- an extension that allows to use Java Code and libraries
- a Rythm template engine based configurable page generator
- applying the Y-Principle to the structuring and use of Semantic MediaWiki

An Example: Seeing is believing ...
ProfiWiki is based on 
Installation
git clone https://github.com/BITPlan/ProfiWiki
cd ProfiWiki
choose your target Mediawiki version e.g. 1.31.1 and call the corresponding install script:
./mw1_31_1
By default there will be an interactive dialog to ask you for the passwords to use:
To avoid this dialog use the -r option to create random passwords.
./mw1_31_1 -r
Usage
bashit helper script
To check your installation you can run a shell in the docker containers created. There are two containers:
- mw - for the mediawiki installation
- db - for the database installation
The name of the container depends on the version. The helper script bashit will simplify to call into the bash:
Usage
./bashit [27|30|31] [db|mw]
e.g ./bashit 27 db will call a bash in the mediawiki 1.27.5 mariadb container
Examples
We'd like to check the extensions directory of the mediawiki container for Version 1.31.1
./bashit 31 mw
root@bf0f1f0cb166:/var/www/html# cd extensions/
root@bf0f1f0cb166:/var/www/html/extensions# ls
