Semantic MediaWiki can provide links to online services when displaying certain data in the Factbox and in property pages. For example, when an article contains a geographic coordinate, like Geocoordinate property from Template:Metadata has, it is useful to provide links to online mapping services so that users can retrieve a map of that location with one click. An other useful example is provided by ETI thesaurus service and further it will pointed out how to use this service in relation with a Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) property. Attaching an external service to a SMW property consists on three steps:

    1. Providing service links
    2. Create property or modify an existing one
    3. Property usage
