Wikidata Sidelinks
by Olaf Simons 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

Dear all, I created - on our wikibase FactGrid - some 300 Items with Wikidata-sidelinks, but made a mistake with the individual attributions. Has any of you ever removed such links via Quickstatements? Or do you have, alternatively, an idea how to kill 360 items in a simple procedure? much obliged, Olaf Dr. Olaf Simons Forschungszentrum Gotha der Universität Erfurt Am Schlossberg 2 99867 Gotha Büro: +49-361-737-1722 Mobil: +49-179-5196880 Privat: Hauptmarkt 17b/ 99867 Gotha

Workshop: LODifying lexical data using Wikibase
by David Lindemann 26 Mar '23

26 Mar '23

Hi everybody, Nexus Linguarum <https://nexuslinguarum.eu/> and LDK2023 <http://2023.ldk-conf.org/> give us the chance to organize a workshop about lexemes on Wikibase / Wikidata. We have already some use case presentations on board, and would like to encourage everybody working with lexemes to contribute. The presentations should be focused on workflows (deal with source formats, how to model, how to get data to Wikidata/Wikibase), and problems of particular languages. The workshop is an in-person event in Vienna, Austria, on September 13, and will be video-recorded. Lightning talks can also be contributed by pre-recording them. The idea is to provide that video recordings collection as reference for people starting projects that involve lexical data, and that may be new Wikibase users. The workshop is co-located to the LDK conference, so part of the audience will be people from W3C communities such as Ontolex. Registration is free. Please find the workshop page here: https://wikibase-lex.sciencesconf.org/ Feel free to share this message.

Wikibase Suite: Wikibase 1.39 Upgrading notes
by Valerie Wollinger 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Dear Community, We’re thrilled to announce the release of Wikibase Suite 1.39! We recommend that everyone running older versions of Wikibase Suite update as soon as possible. In short: We’re proud to announce that as of this release, Wikibase is now in sync with MediaWiki. Our developers have worked very hard to reach this goal. Hooray! In addition, the Wikibase version 1.39 release includes some changes in external libraries and in the output from the ActionAPI “wbsearchentities” call. For more information, including breaking changes and deprecations, see the detailed release notes <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/Wikibas…> . Upgrading your Wikibase Please note that starting with this release, the Wikibase extension must be enabled in MediaWiki using the Extension Registration mechanism. If you have been providing your own MediaWiki configuration file (LocalSettings.php) for your Wikibase container, make sure to check these upgrade instructions <https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-pipeline/blob/f2555b07494c9df691cd…> . Are you looking for (more) documentation? Our Wikibase documentation <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase> is the way to go for our installation instructions and FAQ. For Wikibase 1.39 developer documentation, have a look at https://doc.wikimedia.org/Wikibase/REL1_39/. Want to know what’s new?

outbound SERVICE to Wikidata?
by Michael Lindsey 10 Mar '23

10 Mar '23

Hi all, I don't see my Monday post in the list archives, so I can't amend it. I am attempting to bring a wikidata property, if present, into query results on my wikibase.cloud instance, but am getting nothing. I have managed to create what I think is the simplest code to demonstrate my problem. The below query ( https://tinyurl.com/2f8wzeoj ) executes without error. Am I missing something, or can we not use Wikidata as a SERVICE? Thanks for any insight you may have! Michael Lindsey UC Berkeley School of Law PREFIX ira:<https://ir-authorities.wikibase.cloud/entity/> PREFIX irp:<https://ir-authorities.wikibase.cloud/prop/direct/> PREFIX wdt:<http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/> SELECT ?person ?wikidataQNumber ?country WHERE { ?person irp:P20 ira:Q174; # is a human irp:P2 ?wikidataQNumber. # wikidata identifier OPTIONAL { SERVICE <https://query.wikidata.org/sparql> { ?wikidataQNumber wdt:P27 ?country. } } }

Dear Community, We're almost there. Only one more week and we can finally have more insight into what you need to use Wikibase Suite in a way that serves your needs best. *Why* is this so important to us? We're currently in a moment of breathing back life into Suite with more capacities and focus that allows for new actions and progresses. As with all we do, we'd like to hear what you think so that we can incorporate your suggestions into our planning. This is, of course, not your last chance to make your voice heard, but it's an important one as it sets the ground for what's about to come next and during this year. You'll *find the survey here <https://wikimedia.sslsurvey.de/Wikibase_Suite-User-Research-02-23/> *and it won't take longer than 10 Minutes. That's a promise ;-) Thanks a lot!
