Hi all,
Writing to this list because I swear I've seen it discussed here before...
I'm curious to know how many cases we have where two people share both
a name and a birthdate *but are confirmed to be different people*. I
vaguely remember this being discussed as part of the duplicate
checking work, but can't put my finger on where this was. I've been
able to find markers onwiki for "person with the same name as another
person" and "person with the same birth and death dates", but neither
of these are quite the same. Does this discussion ring a bell with
anyone?
Alternatively, if someone can take this as a challenge to make a
really creative SPARQL query, I'd be grateful :-)

Hey everyone :)
One of the major use cases we have for Wikidata (next to providing general
purpose data about the world and acting as a hub that connects many
different databases) is concept tagging. So far not much has happened in
that space it seems compared to the other two. Just recently I came across
a tweet talking about the use of Wikidata for exactly that at the Finnish
Broadcasting Company and I asked for some more details. Micke has now
written down what they're doing and how they did it in a blog post:

concepts and stable IDs.
Cheers

Dear colleagues,
stewarding a small (currently internal) Wikibase installation (a few
thousand items), I wonder if there is any practical way of using Lua to
generate pages listing items that fit certain conditions.
For starters, is there a way to get a Lua iterable of Wikibase items?
The documentation seems very thin here at the moment.
I have some experience with pywikibot and work with item lists there
(using PageGenerators).
Any hint very much appreciated.
Best greetings,
Dragan

Hey everyone :)
We'll be doing another office hour on IRC for all things Wikidata on April
12th at 4PM UTC.
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=16&min=00&sec=0&…
has
your timezone.
I'll give an overview of what's been happening over the past 3 months and
give an update on what's coming up. We'll have time for questions as well.
If you have any topics you'd like to bring up please let me know. As always
there will be logs for people who can't attend.
Hope to see many of you there.
Cheers
Lydia

I followed the advice on this post:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2016-March/008444.html
(Thanks Mr. Malyshev!)
I did have one problem with the build: I found myself having to remove
the checkstyle plugin from the pom.xml file to get the maven build to go
to completion.
Now on my local installation I can get this query to work just fine:
(Current namespace: wdq)
Select *
Where
{
Service <http://localhost:9999/bigdata/namespace/test/sparql>
{
Bind ("Algeria"@en as ?countryLabel)
}
}
Also this:
(current namespace: test)
prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
Select *
Where
{
Service <http://localhost:9999/bigdata/namespace/wdq/sparql>
{
Bind ("Algeria"@en as ?countryLabel)
?country rdfs:label ?countryLabel.
}
}
But this query (and every variation I could think of) unfortunately
times out:
(current namespace: wdq)
prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
Select *
Where
{
{
Select ?countryLabel
{
Service <http://localhost:9999/bigdata/namespace/test/sparql>
{
Bind ("Algeria"@en as ?countryLabel)
}
}
}
?country rdfs:label ?countryLabel.
}
This also holds when addressing a Jena service I have set up on a
different port.
I would appreciate any help. Also, is this question better posed to the
WD tech list?
Thanks,
Just a note that ConceptMap.io now uses Visjs instead of D3js as its
graph drawing library, primarily for displaying thumbnail images from

WDQS servers were schedule for a reboot during the weekly deployment
window. While the first server rebooted without issue, things did not
go as well with the second one. We do not know yet what the issue is,
but we are investigating [1].
This has no direct impact to the end user, we can run on a single
server, as long as we don't loose it as well...
