Good day,
Do any of you have success stories of data dumps, especially from governmental sources, into Wikidata that have been used to create something useful after that, especially on Wikipedia?
Thank you,
Jean-Philippe Béland Vice President, Wikimedia Canada
Sum of all paintings is one of the best examples, that a lot of us fall back on, because of Crotos: http://zone47.com/crotos/
I also have a tendency to fall back on scholia as an example, which is underpinned by a bunch of data from PubMed -- though that hasn't been well documented anywhere.
You might check with WMSV on their work with COH: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connected_Open_Heritage
Cheers,
Alex

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.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,
A couple of days ago, Wikimedia CH ran a campaign for the International Museums day which was based on data that had been ingested into Wikidata a couple of years ago from the museums database maintained by the Swiss Museums Association: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CH/Museum_Day_2018
And as a «would be» example, of course Wiki Loves Monumentshttps://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/. I’m writing “would be”, because Wikidata wasn’t there yet when the contest was run for the first time in most countries. Had it been there, we would have ingested the data into Wikidata and run the contest based on this data instead of ingesting the data first into Wikipedia before harvesting it into an external monuments database. I believe that in the meanwhile, parts of the contest are run directly on the basis of Wikidata.
Cheers, Beat
