Hi!

Thank you for your comments!

Joe, I translated for you list of lectures / questions from Russian to English, see https://bit.ly/3yyIYyH I hope this helps you.

The most complex part for students is writing the chapter for this book. One student selects one Wikidata object and we together with a student think - which interesting properties we can calculate and visualize using SPARQL. I prepared the algorithm for students which contain 14 formal steps, see https://w.wiki/3MSW (in Russian).

But of course, each student requires a lot of personal work (with teacher), see attached the file which contains an example of my comments to the Russian student's work (3 pages of the book). It requires several iterations before I give up and say to a student that it is enough, it is OK. At this moment, I'm sure, there are a lot of errors in this book. But from version to version, I hope, this book will be more clear and solid :)

After one semester of work with 6 students (September 2020 - January 2021) we prepared 6 chapters in our draft of the book "Wikidata programming" in Russian and in English.

Now I finished work with my students. I hope to continue work with new students in September-December 2021. Then I will add new extended chapters from my Wikiversity course ( https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Research_in_programming_Wikidata) to this LaTeX book.

What kind of help I want from you.

If you want to describe some topics related to Wikidata, which will be useful for beginners, it will be great.

At this moment the book contains chapters with research about different objects of Wikidata. Now this book looks like a book with specific programming recipes.

But there is no introduction describing the basic elements of SPARQL and basic elements of Wikidata, the Wikidata interface, an overview of scientific articles on Wikidata. I think these are very important parts that the book is missing right now.

So, I hope to find co-authors for this book.

Best regards, Andrew Krizhanovsky.

Could you share the syllabus of the course you are teaching please? I am getting involved in teaching and something like this could inspire the faculty here.

Hello all.

We wrote the very first version of the book "Programming Wikidata for

and students":

LaTeX source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/componavt/wd_book

If you are interested in participating in the writing of this book, please write to me (andrew.krizhanovsky at gmail.com).

I am teaching a course at Petrozavodsk State University, the results of this course are presented in the Wikiversity project "Research in programming Wikidata" (https://w.wiki/3MKp). Therefore, I hope that this book will be updated and replenished with new materials every year.
