Querying the CSDMS Model Repository

Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) is the knowledge management system used on the CSDMS website. SMW has an API with several actions, allowing users to add, edit, and query information. Here, we'll focus on the ask action, and the Ask API, to query metadata from the CSDMS model metadata repository.

The base URL for any call to the SMW API on the CSDMS portal is http://csdms.colorado.edu/mediawiki/api.php.
