Wgraph:Sample Genealogy 6

We spread the 'database' over several articles

The next step is a simple one, but it shows the real power of the approach presented here.

Now we use multiple dynasty articles. Each of them contains a piece of information we want to use for our table and graph. We can use the same templates. Only the selection criteria within the DPL statement have to be changed.

Note that the second dynasty file (Wgraph:Dynasty Smith 2) contains additional data about a person ("Gero Scholz") which was already defined in the first dynasty file. While the table representation shows two rows with the same key, wgraph is able to merge the two facts and produces a correct graph.
