I have a question - when someone creates a new statement, for suggesting
"properties", I can use collaborative filtering to make suggestions.
Example, explained in the simplest terms - suppose there are X cities in
the dataset. The user is adding another city (writes 'city in Australia'
for short description). The system checks all other cities, figures out the
common properties and suggests them. Cool. But I can't get any "exact"
ideas off the top of my head that can used to suggest "values" for the
properties. Suppose one of the recommended properties is "population". How
can I make the system guess its value? (Am I getting this right?) Have you
guys got anything on your minds regarding this? Please point me to the
right direction. :)
For your example I'd say that isn't really possible indeed. But take
for example a country. Someone wants to add
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P30 to indicate which continent
this country is on. Across all of Wikidata this property should have a
very limited number of values. The same is true for things like the
sex of a person. And then for something a bit more advanced: there are
things like the property father. The suggested values for this should
be other items that are persons.
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_properties has the list
of all current properties. I am sure you can find more such cases.
Hope that makes it clearer.
Cheers
