Hey folks :)
It is time for GSoC and the Outreach Program for Women again. We'll
not be taking part in GSoC this round because I can't make sure we
have adequate mentoring capacity for coding projects. However I am
offering a non-coding project as part of the Outreach Program for
Women. I'd love to see many applications. More details at

Cheers

Lately I've merged Wikipedia usage information with DBpedia
information to produce a subjective importance score:
https://github.com/paulhoule/telepath/wiki/SubjectiveEye3D
That particular product has two layers of processing that can be done
independently: one is averaging over time, the other is reconciling
the {project,page URI} tuples to concepts. In the case of DBpedia,
the main thing that happens is that importance is summed up for all of
the redirects that point to a particular concept.
The product linked above was built with the English Dbpedia, but it
ought to be easy to do the same thing with a different ?lang Dbpedia,
and get products that reflect the point of view of different ?lang
zones.
I don't see redirect data in Wikidata, so it seems that redirects
should be processed against DBpedia of all languages and then these
should be merged with the contents of the "Wikipedia pages linked to
this Item" that I see on a page like this:
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1631090
does this make sense? What's the easy way to get bulk access to that
information? Who else wants to see this happen?

Hi all,
just got confused a little bit between Person Q215627 and Human Q5 classes
in the Person page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q215627> it's written "not
for use with P31, instead use Q5 human" , if so what's the usage of the
Person class ?
thanks
Regards

Hello.
Is there a way to see an automatically-generated list of properties with
their name and data type?
(I tried the following page but it doesn't seem to be up-to-date, so
that's why I asked if there is an automatically-generated page.)
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_properties/all
Thank you,

Any way Wikidata and other semantic data in our wikis can work with this?
«Yandex Islands, a new search platform, gives website owners an
interface and tools to create interactive snippets for their websites.
If you have a website, you can now use Yandex’s search results page to:
feature your data entry;
run your real-time information;
offer your transactions.

Hoi,
When the information in Wikidata is to be useful, there have to be labels
for the items that are on display in Wikidata. In the Reasonator, the tool
that visualises the information from Wikidata, we always show you a label
in a language. It is possible to set your babel information to ensure fall
back for the best personal result.
What is really new and exciting is that you can now add the missing labels
from within the Reasonator. When you hover over the label that is "red
labelled", you will see an option to add a label. Click on it, add the
missing label, hit enter and you are done.
It now takes just ten seconds to add a label.
When you consider how often items are used, you will appreciate that 10
seconds may affect hundreds of thousands of items where that specific item
is used. As a consequence we now have the perfect setting where people can
make a big difference for their language. It will particularly make a
dramatic difference for the language where there are few articles in
Wikipedias. Even the English Wikipedia will benefit a lot; already there
are 500.000 more items in Wikidata than articles in the English Wikipedia..
Thanks to the Wikidata Search option we have found that we are better able
to share in the sum of the knowledge we have available. As more labels are
added, the quantity of the information will grow. As it is likely that
people will mostly work on the items they consider to be relevant, it is
almost certain that the effect will be great.
FYI at this time the number of page views of the Reasonator increases by
100% a month. I wonder how long this will be this way :)
Thanks,
GerardM
PS and NB It is really staggering how much functionality Magnus can come up
with in so little time.

Call for Participation SEMANTiCS 2014
Transfer // Engineering // Community
10th International Conference on Semantic Systems (formerly known as
I-SEMANTICS)
Leipzig, Germany, September 4-5, 2014
http://www.semantics.cc
Towards Engineering of Information Machines - We believe that semantic
technologies are mature enough to dare the jump from research to
engineering. We would like to invite you to Leipzig, Germany to explore
with us best practices in engineering semantic systems.
*Important Information (to help you prepare):*
* The *deadline *for scientific papers will be *May 30th*a separate
call for papers will be announced soon.
* SEMANTiCS 2014 will be co-located with
o September 3: 2nd DBpedia Community Meeting:
http://wiki.dbpedia.org/meetings/Leipzig2014
o September 2: Multilingual Linked Open Data for Enterprises
(MLODE 2014)
o September 1-3: More workshops, meetings, tutorials
* Workshop, Community Meetings and Challenges: We have a total of
three days reserved for additional meetings, tutorials and workshops
for September 1 - 3. If you are interested in a free room (coffee
included), please send an email to the Chair of the Organising
Committee, Ricardo Usbeck
(http://www.semantics.cc/home/committee/organising-committee/).
The annual SEMANTiCS conference (formerly known as I-Semantics) is the
meeting place for professionals who make semantic computing work and
understand the benefits and discuss how to overcome its limitations.
Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information managers, IT-architects,
software engineers, and researchers, from organisations ranging from
NPOs, public administrations to the largest companies in the world.
Attendees learn from industry experts and top researchers about emerging
trends and topics in semantic software, enterprise data, linked data &
open data strategies and methodologies in knowledge modeling and text &
data analytics. The SEMANTiCS community is very diverse; attendees have
responsibilities in a range of areas, including knowledge management,
technical documentation, e-commerce, big data analytics, enterprise
search, document management, business intelligence, and enterprise
vocabulary management.
SEMANTiCS 2014 in Leipzig continues our long tradition of bringing
together colleagues from around the world to present papers, panels,
exhibitions and posters, to discuss best practices of semantic systems
in birds-of-a-feather sessions and exchange knowledge further in
informal settings. SEMANTiCS addresses problems common among information
managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various specialist
departments working to develop, implement and/or evaluate semantic
software systems.
The SEMANTiCS program is a rich mix of technical talks, panel
discussions of important topics, and presentations by people who are
ambitious to make information machines work - just like you. In
addition, attendees can network with experts in a variety of fields.
These relationships provide great value to organisations as they
encounter subtle technical issues. The expertise gained by SEMANTiCS
attendees has a long-term impact on their careers and organisations.
These factors make SEMANTiCS the premiere event for our community. The
following 'horizontals' (topics) and 'verticals' (industries) are mainly
addressed:
* Business Models, Governance & Data Strategies
* Knowledge Discovery & Intelligent Search
* Data Integration & Enterprise Linked Data
* Big Data & Text Analytics
* Data Portals & Knowledge Visualisation
* Document Management & Content Management
* Terminology, Thesaurus & Ontology Management
* Industry & Engineering
* Life Sciences & Health Care
* Public Administration
* Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums (GLAM)
* Media, Publishing & Advertising
* Financial Industry
* Telecommunications
* Energy
We encourage participants to submit proposals for workshops, thematic
focus and special programmes and events in contacting anyone from the
SEMANTiCS Organising Committee:
(http://www.semantics.cc/home/committee/organising-committee/)
Call for Industry Presentations and Research Papers as well Posters and
Demos will be announced at www.semantics.cc <http://www.semantics.cc> soon.
Transfer: Research and experts meet industry, industry meets experts and
research. SEMANTiCS is the place to exchange (project) ideas based on
best practices and to learn more about the various perspectives one can
have on probably the most valuable resources of our days: data &
information.
Engineering: Software providers, developers and IT-architects meet
research and (potential) users from industry. SEMANTiCS is the place to
dive deep into semantic web and linked data technologies.
Community: Make new friends and renew old acquaintances. SEMANTiCS is
the meeting place to discuss and to initiate new projects, to extend
ongoing activities, and to showcase the latest developments.
On behalf of all the people organizing SEMANTiCS 2014, we hope to see
you in September in Leipzig,
Sebastian Hellmann (AKSW, DBpedia), Harald Sack
(Hasso-Plattner-Institut), Agata Filipowska (Poznan University of
Economics), Christian Dirschl (Wolters Kluwer) and Andreas Blumenauer
(Semantic Web Company)

Hey everyone :)
We're getting started on the redesign of the user interface of
Wikidata now. As a first step we're gathering a lot of input on the
current user interface until the end of the month. It'd be great to
get your ideas on what you think is working well and what is not.
Please leave your comments on
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:UI_redesign_input
Cheers
Lydia
