Hello!
The Nordic Public Broadcasters have a hackday approacing
http://www.nordichackday.com/ in two weeks. I would be interested in
using Wikidata as a backed for an interactive competition/tournament widget
if that is possible.
Do you know of any examples where Wikidata has been used to describe
individual match/qualifying data and competion/tournament structure? Or do
you have any thoughts if it can be done at all? And how? Describing only
final positions is not enough.
I have two concrete cases in mind I would like to work with:
Eurovision Song Contest 2016
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2016
- you can get a picture of the qualifying structure and results from the
previous competition Eurovision Song Contest 2015
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2015
- the corresponding wikidata page has some ranking and point-data attached
to the participants but it is not tied to the structure of semi-finals and
finals
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15215081
UEFA Euro 2016
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2016
- you can get a picture of the qualifying structure and match data from
the previous tournament UEFA Euro 2012
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2012
- not event the winner is described on the corresponding Wikidata page
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q22669
Do you think Wikidata has the needed data structures and features in place
for describing this kind of data? Do you have any advice how to go about
describing either ESC2015 of EUFA Euro 2012 in more detail?
Thanks for any help
Hi Petri,
This sounds like a question where you are more likely to get a useful
answer on the project chat as more editors read that:
