Help:Property change existing values
From COST Action FP0804: FORSYS
Changing the existing values of properties is somewhat difficult because there is no global search & replace function in the standard wiki code and, even if there was, for the SMW we'd need to restrict the replace to one property (e.g. if we want to change 'Has domain::System testing' to 'Has domain::Testing' we don't want to replace 'System' where it occurs in other parts of the page).
Sean is working on a python script to accomplish this.

A global search & replace extension (but probably not useful for reason above)

Might do what we need but we'd need to still write a loop to replace more than one value at a time.
