Wikidata

“ As I mentioned below, Wikidata and Wikisource mainspace pages (rather than Author: pages) now do have an accepted relationship, though some hammering out of details might still occur. Basically any text in mainspace here can have a metadata page on Wikidata. This is not to argue against an effort here, on categories, given enough consensus. But some consideration of where and what to emphasise, for projects involving hundreds of thousands of edits, is only sensible. ”

“ No longer English only, but every Wikipedia will be exposed in this way. Freebase, SEO and Wikidata Office hour on IRC covering overall status/development, Freebase and admin inactivity criteria RfC. You can read the log. Other Noteworthy Stuff Magnus wrote a short tour of Wikidata's tool ecosystem. A first version of the Primary Sources Tool has been released. It'll help with migrating Freebase data and more. Italian Wikipedia's quality festival is focusing on interwiki links and Wikidata this month. Help them out? Lots of new databases have been added to Mix n Match. ”

“ Most prominently, Abstract Wikipedia is working towards extending knowledge representation beyond Wikidata such that one can abstractly capture the contents and structure of Wikipedia articles. Building on top of the data and lexicographic knowledge in Wikidata, these abstract representations will then be used to generate encyclopedic content in many more languages, providing a baseline of knowledge in the hundreds of languages of Wikipedia. ”

“ Wikidata, now a decade old, is the largest public knowledge graph, with data on more than 100 million concepts contributed by over 560,000 editors. It is widely used in applications and research. At its launch in late 2012, however, it was little more than a hopeful new Wikimedia project, with no content, almost no community, and a severely restricted platform. Seven years earlier still, in 2005, it was merely a rough idea of a few PhD students, a conceptual nucleus that had yet to pick up many important influences from others to turn into what is now called Wikidata. ”

“ To check the completeness of data imported into Wikidata as part of a project, build a dashboard for Wikidata properties. An example of a dashboard for the Anais do Museu Paulista was generated using the Wikidata Query Service at https://tinyurl.com/articles-by-journal-qid. In order to replicate the dashboard for a different journal using the query from the Anais do Museu Paulista, change the journal QID at row 39 of the query. ”

“ Données structurées, la puissance de Wikidata au service de Wikimedia Commons - French-language article by Rama about Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons. Europeana is interested in linking its new Entity Collection to Wikidata, and will talk about this at the WikidataCon. Upcoming (21.9.2017) : "Wikidata as a linking hub for knowledge organization systems? Integrating an authority mapping into Wikidata and learning lessons for KOS mapping". ”

“ Each data item is made up of a label, a description, aliases, a section for labels and descriptions in other languages (based on templates on your talk page) , statements, and interwiki links. Practically, from Wikisource's point of view, each data item holds two important things: data statements and interwiki links.
Wikidata can be edited from Wikisource by utilising the WE-Framework gadget available through your Gadgets. The gadget when activated provides types of links to item types in the left toolbar, with a settings that will allows one to toggle on and off item types of interest. ”

“ Abstract Wikipedia intends to look and feel like a Wikipedia, but build on the powerful, language-independent conceptual models of Wikidata, with the goal of letting volunteers create and maintain Wikipedia articles across our polyglot Wikimedia world. ”

“ However, could you please clarify a little further, specifically this comment "Please keep in mind that every mainspace page on Wikisource is connected to a Wikidata item", particularly in the context of, e.g. Grimm's Household Tales, Volume 1/The Knapsack, the Hat, and the Horn. Some of the tales appear to already have text present (from I know not where) , and I would like to be able to transclude the now proofread stories. Does each subpage/story have a wikidata item, and thus are these also situations that I should either move the story which is there or request an admin to delete? ”

“ The name and the lifespan are stored locally at wikisource, the rest (including gender, sister links, interwikis, image, viaf and lots of libraries ids, etc) is stored at wikidata. Two templates pull data back from wikidata (if available) : "author" itself and "authority control". If the wikidata item for a person exists and has enough information already then one and only one thing is required to make our templates work properly: add the link to wikisource author page into the wikidata item. ”

“ Inductiveload—talk/contribs 09:48, 4 March 2021 (UTC) @Inductiveload: I think banning plain links and links that take the reader to Wikidata is good. The flip side is permitting it when we have a suitable template. I'm thinking "show page preview + sister links if only WD; link to Wikipedia if an article exists; make sure the user only ends up on Wikidata if they specifically indicate they want to go there". All details subject to discussion and amendment of course, but the basic principle that Wikidata is not a suitable direct destination for a link in our works is sound I think. ”

“ Here at Alberta, we’d like to try the Toronto model where article creation and editing work is focused on a precise area of the library’s collections.
The Wikimedia ecosystem goes far beyond Wikipedia articles, and there is great potential for WIR roles focused on Wikidata in particular. While Wikipedia is an excellent pedagogical tool for exploring information literacy, reliable sources, and notability, Wikidata offers students the chance to engage with issues of data completeness, data processing, data analysis, and data ethics. ”

“ Wikidata and FactGrid - Knowledge Graphs of data query entry (French) - a workshop taking place 26 March, 13:30 - 16:30 (GMT+1) , hosted by Datalab MSHB Rennes and moderated by Jean-Baptiste Pressac. Levelling Up Days 2024 is an online event designed to welcome new people to Wikidata, upgrade their editing skills and find out about useful tools and apps. Join us for a series of videos and discussions regarding Wikidata and its uses in and outside of the Wikimedia projects. ”

“ All three of them are closely tied to the development of the Web [8] , to which they have also made important individual contributions: community is the basis of the wiki principle [34] , sharing is the driving force of the open source and open knowledge movements, and explication through formal specification has motivated strong Web standards and the Semantic Web activity [7, 61] . Wikipedia naturally combines community and sharing, but Wikidata has pioneered the reconciliation of all three ideals. ”

“ In recent years, the love-hate relationship that teachers and researchers had with Wikipedia is changing for the better. More and more academics see the benefits of Wikipedia, Wikidata, and other Wikimedia project websites. With the collaborations and projects described in this chapter, Maastricht University Library has contributed to a better understanding of how Wikipedia and Wikidata can be deployed within an academic context and what the advantages are for students and others interested in contributing. ”

“ The Wikidata Query Service is an infinite source of amazing data and one of the best ways to explore and use Wikidata. (TweetsFactsAndQueries) QuickStatements is a powerful tool that can edit or add Wikidata item en masse, via a text editor or importing a spreadsheet. (Éder Porto via Facebook) Mix'n'match (manual) , which helps us to interlink Wikidata with the rest of the web and the world :-) (Spinster, Siobhan via Twitter) WikiShootMe! allows you to see Wikidata items plotted out on a map and shows you whether they have images or not. ”

“ Continued work on conditional requests and authorization Made use of the new fields added in the wbsearchentities API and added language information to the markup of entity searches that you see when editing a statement or searching with the little searchbox at the top of the page on Wikidata. Now these search results should make a bit more sense to people who use screen readers. You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer. ”

“ In order to obtain this goal, it was proposed to collect all available biographical information of prominent Dutch scientists since 1575 and enter them into Wikidata. Furthermore, the intention was to construct this database in such a way that it could be optimally used and easily accessed by a general audience. ”

“ Wikidata workshop in Rennes, France, December 12th Incoming:Next Structured Commons IRC office hour will be on Tuesday, February 13, 2018, at 18:00 UTC. Past: Tech-talk about knowledge technologies, featuring Wikidata, DBpedia, and Histropedia at Jakarta Digital Valley, Jakarta, Indonesia on Dec 8, 2017. Slides are available at Slideshare link. My vision of a possible strategy. How could we change Wikidata’s core infrastructure to be able to scale better in the future? ”

“ An instance of a reference is limited to its article and cannot be shared among articles; more importantly, it is difficult to move a reference between different-language Wikipedias, even with the support of translation tools.
Wikidata is a free, collaborative knowledge base (Vrandečić & Krötzsch, 2014) , and it can be used to overcome existing inefficiencies in the Wikipedia referencing model. The creation of items for scholarly articles and other periodical literature for a Wikimedia project is a useful contribution in its own right. ”

“ If there is a sitelink to an article on the local Wiki, it returns the sitelink as plain text, otherwise nothing getSiteLink gets the plain text link to an article on a given wiki getLabel returns the Wikidata label for the local language as plain text. If there is no label in the local language, it returns the entity-ID getAllLabels fetches the set of labels and formats it for display as wikitext labelorid returns the label with all wikitext removed, or the entity-ID if no label getDescription returns the article description for the Wikidata entity if the local parameter is "Wikidata". ”

“ Several students are working on Wikidata-related tasks as part of the Outreachy program and the Google Summer of Code. Welcome to Feliciss and PangolinMexico, working on Automatically identifying first and last author names for Wikicite and Wikidata, and LennardHofmann, working on rewriting the Wikidata Infobox on Commons in Lua. Feel free to greet them and follow their work on Phabricator! A new Mix'n'match page to query entries across catalogs, by various properties (born/died, gender, location, external IDs, etc.) ”

“ Wikidata is made up of "data items" which each relate to a single thing. For example, each author should have a data item, which will connect to every page about that author on any project via interwiki links, and a list of data statements with facts about the author (like date of birth) . Each data item has a unique Q-number ID ”

“ Wikidata logo Overview Example Wikidata data item Wikidata is a "knowledge base" that allows Wikimedia to keep general information in one place. This means things useful to many projects only need to be recorded and maintained once, rather than each of the hundreds of projects spending time maintaining their own versions of the same thing. ”

“ With those bots gone, humans were suddenly better able to ‘see’ each other and build a more meaningful community. In many languages, this eventually led to an increased community activity. In addition to reducing the maintenance burden on the Wikipedias, this also lead to the creation of Items on Wikidata for a large number of general concepts represented by each of these articles, and thereby helped bootstrap the content of Wikidata. ”

“ Community: all content (data and schema) is directly controlled by an open community, not by the development team at Wikimedia Deutschland Sharing: the data is licensed under Creative Commons CC-0, which imposes no restrictions on usage or distribution Explication: content is structured according to its own data model, is exported in the RDF standard, and is open to machine reading/writing through APIs In addition to these fundamentals, Wikidata is also characterized by several further design choices:
Multi-linguality: One Wikidata serves all languages ”
