URL structure

Conzept is mainly based around URLs and iframes.

Let's first look at some example URLs and then look at all the available parameters.

example URLs

  • conze.pt/explore/Semantic_Web (Minimal URL with a search-string. The user-language will be based on: the stored language setting, the browser language or simply fallback to English.)

URL parameters

There are various parameters available to structure URLs.

parameter description default value
l language “en”
lv language variant “zh-my”
t action-type “string”
i entity ID (such as the Wikidata Q-identifier)
u URL-string
s sidebar visibility true
v view-mode requested, can be “desktop” or “mobile” (note: automatically determined by the device type, but can be overruled with this parameter)
c custom data field (its format is not specified)
query structured search query in JSON
commands command API DSL code in Scheme Lisp (as used for presentations)

URL action types

The types parameter (“t”) in Conzept URLs indicated what type of content should be loaded.

The following action-types are available:

type argument data-type description
string search-term string string-based search in the active datasources
wikipedia-qid Wikidata Qid request the Wikipedia or the Wikidata page of an entity (in that order)
link-split url load two content panes and load the URL into the first content pane, in the second-content pane load the Wikipedia page for the search-string
articles search-term string (only used internally) to update the sidebar with a new string-search (and not update the content area)
random (none) (only used internally) to load a random Wikipedia topic
wander search-term string loads the video-app to stream a series of YouTube videos
presentation search-term string creates a presentation (if the topic refers to a Wikidata topic)
