Description: 

Semantic Forms is an extension to MediaWiki that allows users to add and edit
data using forms. It is heavily tied in with the Semantic MediaWiki extension,
and is meant to be used for structured data that has semantic markup. Having
Semantic MediaWiki installed is a precondition for the Semantic Forms
extension; the code will not fully work without it.

Very simply, Semantic Forms allows you to have forms for adding and editing
data on your wiki, without any programming. Forms can be created and edited not
just by administrators, but by users themselves.

Open questions:  I'm unclear on how to license this package.  The upstream code
indicates it's GPL, but rpmlint (and the licensing guidelines indicate that
"GPL" is not specific enough).  Also, from the SemanticForms README file:

* The Semantic Forms extension makes external calls to the Yahoo!
User Interface (YUI) JavaScript library
(http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/). YUI is distributed via the
BSD license (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/license.html),
which is compatible with the GPL license under which Semantic
Forms is distributed.

* Semantic Forms also includes the Floatbox Javascript library
by Byron McGregor (http://randomous.com/tools/floatbox/). Floatbox
is distributed via the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License
(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/), which is compatible
with the GPL license under which Semantic Forms is distributed.
