Hi all,
(apologies, if this is not the right place for raising the following
issue (if this is the case, then please delegate me to a more
appropriated place ;) ))
we are currently evaluating Wikibase as storage for D:SWARM GDM data
(see [1,2]). Right now, we have a prototype client [3] that makes use
of a Wikidata Toolkit fork [4]. So far, we were able to write/create
simple items and properties. However, we also would like to create new
items with a given set of statements. Therefore, we intended to
utilise the 'wbeditentity' HTTP API (and I had (and still have) a
lively conversation with Markus Krötzsch about this topic, see [5]).
We get (a kind of) item JSON serialisation (e.g. with help of
JacksonObjectFactory-based DatamodelConverter (Wikidata Toolkit
code)). However, when sending this to the 'webeditentity' API we
always receive an error response like this:
"
{
"error": {
"code": "modification-failed",
"info": "array instead of string",
"messages": [
{
"name": "wikibase-validator-bad-type",
"parameters": [
"string",
"array"
],
"html": {
"*": "array instead of string"
}
}
],
"*": "See
http://[OUR WIKIBASE SERVICE IP]/api.php for API
usage"
}
}
"
We cannot really interpret what's wrong with the data model that we
send to this API (note: we make use of the POJOs below
'org.wikidata.wdtk.datamodel.json.jackson' package of Wikidata
Toolkit, see [6]). An example of a data JSON is attached to this e-mail.
Thanks a lot in advance for all your help.
Cheers,
Bo/T
