Wiki + QR code = Semapedia
*Limen, *Mobile, *What is? September 19, 2007

This from the del.icio.us wikieducator tag via sparkered.
A QR code generated from Wikipedia for use in physical spaces, equals Semapedia.
I tried it out using the kaywa reader and now have the Wikipedia entry to liminality on my phone as I write. 
It works like this:

Imagine some of the applications, if you will:
- quick lookup of definitions (those that apply to one’s workplace perhaps)
- find out more about an artist, locale, music band, suburb…
- orientation information within an institute or business or…
At present this is set up for Wikipedia and other ‘Wikisites’. If opened up to Wikiversity, Wikieducator, etc the possibilities are motivating!

To ensure your content is mobile-friendly if you’re thinking of playing with this, consider linking to Wapedia (http://www.wapedia.org/en/) rather than Wikipedia. Wapedia converts Wikipedia articles to a compact, mobile-friendly format.
wikiversity is an excellent idea, will do that!
@leonard: no need to do that,we are only using the wikipedia to determine the name, type and language of the article, the user is presented a mobilized version of wikipedia. we are using http://en.wikipedia.7val.com/
Thanks Stan, for dropping in! I’ll follow the Semapedia update with interest now you may include wikiversity!
Much appreciated
