EntitySearch service in Wikibase
by richard.eckart＠gmail.com 05 Jul '24

05 Jul '24

Querying large wikibase instances can be quite slow. When querying Wikidata, I use the EntityService. However, when I try to do the same on a Wikibase instance, I get an error. Here an example query: ``` SELECT DISTINCT ?m ?dc ?dp ?subj WHERE { { { OPTIONAL { ?pMatch <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#subPropertyOf>* <http://wikiba.se/ontology#lemma> . } { SERVICE wikibase:mwapi { bd:serviceParam wikibase:api "EntitySearch" . bd:serviceParam wikibase:endpoint "unidive.wikibase.cloud" . bd:serviceParam wikibase:limit "once" . bd:serviceParam mwapi:search "1000" . bd:serviceParam mwapi:language "en" . ?subj wikibase:apiOutputItem mwapi:item . } { ?subj ?pMatch ?m . FILTER ( ( REGEX( STR( ?m ), "^1000$", "i" ) && ( LANGMATCHES( LANG( ?m ), "en" ) || LANGMATCHES( LANG( ?m ), "es" ) || LANG( ?m ) = "" ) ) ) } } } } OPTIONAL { { ?subj <http://schema.org/description> ?dc . FILTER ( ( LANGMATCHES( LANG( ?dc ), "en" ) || LANGMATCHES( LANG( ?dc ), "es" ) || LANG( ?dc ) = "" ) ) } } OPTIONAL { { ?subj <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#deprecated> ?dp . FILTER ( ( LANGMATCHES( LANG( ?dp ), "en" ) || LANGMATCHES( LANG( ?dp ), "es" ) || LANG( ?dp ) = "" ) ) } } } LIMIT 2000 ``` And I get back an error Host unidive.wikibase.cloud is not allowed Any ideas? Cheers, -- Richard

Wikibase Cloud x InstaCommons
by Valerie Wollinger 03 Jul '24

03 Jul '24

Dear Community, We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you! For those who attended our last live session, you’re already in the loop. I hope that the rest of you are as excited as we are about this. Our developers enabled InstaCommons <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/InstantCommons> as an extension for Wikibase Cloud. What does this mean? You can now effortlessly reference files from Wikimedia Commons directly in your Wikibase. This means you can upload your images to Commons and easily integrate them into your Wikibase whenever you need to. How to make use of it: 1. Upload Your Media File to Wikimedia Commons Visit Wikimedia Commons Upload Wizard <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard> and upload your media file. 2. Create a New Property In your Wikibase, create a new property with the data type “Commons media file”. 3. Add a Statement to an Item Select the property you created in step 2 and add a statement to an item. Type the filename of the media you want to reference on Wikimedia Commons. For example, to reference the image “Felis_catus-cat_on_snow.jpg”, search for it on Commons. Example Image Reference: Felis_catus-cat_on_snow.jpg <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Felis_catus-cat_on_snow.jpg> We hope this new feature empowers you to add visual context to your stories. Your feedback and wishes continue to shape the future of Wikibase Cloud, and we’re excited to see how you’ll use this update. Wishing you an inspiring start to your week! Looking forward to connecting soon, Valerie On behalf of the Wikibase Cloud Team

KELOD research: thanks for your contribution!
by Valerie Wollinger 25 Jun '24

25 Jun '24

Dear Community, I shared this research before but wanted to shed light on it again. Have you already looked at the outcomes of our Knowledge Equity in Linked Open Data Research <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Summary_of_findings_on_Knowledge_Eq…>? Users who engage with Wikidata and Wikibase taught us more about their needs as well as their ideas to foster a Linked Open Data web that holds space for pluralities of knowledge. You can learn more about their perspectives and identified opportunities in this comprehensive presentation of outcomes: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Summary_of_findings_on_Knowledge_Eq… If you would like to have more conversations about knowledge equity, please let me know, so I can take note of you and come up with a format in which we can dive into this together in more depth. Have a lovely rest of the week! Valerie Wollinger (She/Her) Community Communications Manager Wikibase Wikimedia Deutschland e.

Importing items from Wikidata
by Jan Lochman 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

Hi, What are the ways to "use" items from Wikidata on our custom Wikibase in the cloud? I can see that Federation probably doesn't work for items.[1] Special:Import always ends up with an error, and QuickStatemets are probably not suitable for that. Is there a WikibaseImport or WikibaseIntegrator available for the cloud? We have items that need to have a value for Wikidata's P131. So it seems to me that the easiest way would be to import some of the "locations" to our Wikibase. Dont know if it is a good idea to set URL as a value for P131 and link it to Wikidata! Regards, Jan [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Federation
