don't understand you sorry. i am a positive person. i believe in glass half full. ----Original message---- Date : 15/05/2018 - 17:09 (GMTDT) To : glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject : Re: [GLAM] Success stories of data dumps into Wikidata I do not think it's helpful to talk of "dumping" data into Wikidata. At least to me, the term implies a throw-away attitude of not caring much about what happens to the data once it's in Wikidata. The "Sum of all paintings" and WikiCite initiatives are good examples of how the community is working on a continuous basis with data imported into Wikidata, and enriching or otherwise curating it or using it to help people find information or learn in a variety of ways. That both have dedicated Wikidata frontends is perhaps no accident - this helps the Wiki community to engage with the respective corners of Wikidata and to reach out to communities that are interested in data of the types that reside in those corners. Re Scholia, there is some basic documentation now at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Scholia , and at the Wikimedia Hackathon this week, documentation of Scholia and related workflows is amongst the things we plan to work on: https://github.com/fnielsen/scholia/projects/1 . Help with any of that is most welcome.
