=Simple Artificial Intelligence=
=Meta=
One of the simplest ways to create artificial intelligence capacity for ghe display of wiki content is to name files according to strict rules, and to follow a certain structure for the given data, such that data may be pulled up and converted into attractive publications. A graphic artist can create attractive templates, which combine high quality visual display with standard format/filename editable content. As such - attractive, weak AI web pages can be served and exported. This would make a.great Master's thesis, with the innovation being the development of data standards and procedural standards that allow this process to be applied to effective project management simply by using wikis, spreadsheets, and wiki templates.

=About=
Templates can be a powerful way to display complex information in a well-formatted way simply by invoking a template by name. Templates can have parameters passed into them, such that a whole bunch of information can be passed into a template. Also, templates can seed a bunch of links in the form of other wiki pages. Thus, for example, seeding an entire taxonomy for product development can be done by invoking a template, as is done in a simple way with {{ToolTemplate|ToolName=This Tool}}.


#We begin with a premise that we are developing an infinitely scalable platform for [[OSPD]] using wikis, spreadsheets, and wiki templates, where any number of machines can be developed rapidly and their status can be analyzed in real-time. For example, any heavy machine in the [[Tractor Construction Set]] - which can be hundreds of machines. In this case, a scalable process is afforded by the existence of modules, a sufficient but incomplete set of which have already been tested and built in the period from 2008-2015.
For example, an infobox with pictures can be created which displays a custom images and other content automatically. The requirement is a naming convention where assets are called by their correct name into the template.

Templates can be a powerful way to display complex information in a well-formatted way simply by invoking a template by name. Templates can have parameters passed into them, such that a whole bunch of information can be passed into a template. Also, templates can seed a bunch of links in the form of other wiki pages. Thus, for example, seeding an entire taxonomy for product development can be done by invoking a template, as is done in a simple way with

Annotated Images

Why the template is useful and sample usage

Annotated Images allows to create an annotation inside an image. This visual way of communication can be beneficial in pointing out or commenting on specific modules/parts of a design and at the same time create a link to those specific modules/parts. This will enhance the clarity of the wiki towards developers and end-users.

Example of Annotated Image.png

How to use it

Annotated images can be used by embedding the following code in the editing section. The template allows to change the font sizes, colors, width and the amount and locations of annotations within the image
