Sig.ma Help

How to use Sig.ma:

On welcome page just simply write a query in input box and hit the button.

Sigma page will popup with information related to the query. At the top of the page there are two buttons:
"Add More Info" use it to pull more information about the query
"Start New" use it to create compleatly new sigma

On your right hand side you will see "source manager" area. Sources are displayed on 3 tabs: sources, approved,rejected. In this area you can manage sources by approving the good one, and rejecting poor one. When you reject a source all information which came from it will be removed from your sigma.

Sig.ma options:

There are a few options that can be passed to sigma url:

1. &sources=number to specify number of sources used initialy by sigma
2. &raw=1 to get raw version of sigma, without header and footer
3. &format=json to get results in JSON format
4. &format=rdf to get resultr in RDF format

To add your data to Sig.ma

.. simply join the Web of Data. Markup your pages or the theme of your content management system with RDFa and Microformats. Once you have interoperable data online, just make sure you submit it to the Sindice submit page. Sig.ma should show your data within a few minutes (about 30).
In order for your data to be aggregated properly, the ideal thing is to make use of RDF and make sure that the node which is the main subject of your description has sufficient metadata to be recognized as such (a proper label and possibly also other attributes, e.g. class and other distinguishing properties). While Sig.ma doesn't disambiguate now, it is expected that future versions will use as many extra properties as possible to select which entity descriptions to aggregate.
