These are some screenshots from the prototype web application.

First you would log into the system:

/media/files/wikidbasesnap3.png

Then, as with a conventional wiki application, you would start with a single (wikid)page that you can alter in any way that you like:

/media/files/wikidbasesnap1.png

Here is where it gets interesting. You can edit the page, as you would a wiki, but you can use simple mark-up to define arbitrary fields within the page, allowing the page to act as both plain content (e.g. some text, images, etc.) and a database record (i.e. with fields and data).

Then, when you render the wikidpage, you get an automatically created user-friendly form with approriate widgets for editing data (e.g. a date/time picker, etc.)

You can also easily link pages arbitrarily to create inter-record relationships (e.g one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many), allowing you to create a full relational database.

Queries can then be performed on the wikidpage, filtering based on content or fields, to produce query sets and reports.

The most important thing to note here is that, unlike a conventional database, since your data model is semi-structured, you can evolve the thing over time: eg, alter fields, alter relationships, etc.
