Hi,
What is the relation between WikiData and Wikipedia info boxes?
- Which is the source of the other?
- Is the data synced among them?

Hi,
I wondered where the dumps of the Wikidata sites table went. It used to
be part of the exports, but now it's gone. New name? Different system?
In the latter case: where do I now find the language, page URL, file
URL, and group for sites that Wikidata links to?
Cheers,
Markus

I posted this last week to wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org, but perhaps
this is a better forum for this problem. Re-posting it here.
Federated queries are disabled on the stand-alone code out-of-the-box.
I followed the advice on this post to un-disable federated queries for
my local installation:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2016-March/008444.html
(Thanks Mr. Malyshev!)
I did have one problem with the build: I found myself having to remove
the checkstyle plugin from the pom.xml file to get the maven build to go
to completion.
Now on my local installation I can get this query to work just fine:
(Current namespace: wdq)
Select *
Where
{
Service <http://localhost:9999/bigdata/namespace/test/sparql>
{
Bind ("Algeria"@en as ?countryLabel)
}
}
Also this:
(current namespace: test)
prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
Select *
Where
{
Service <http://localhost:9999/bigdata/namespace/wdq/sparql>
{
Bind ("Algeria"@en as ?countryLabel)
?country rdfs:label ?countryLabel.
}
}
But this query (and every variation I could think of) unfortunately
times out:
(current namespace: wdq)
prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
Select *
Where
{
{
Select ?countryLabel
{
Service <http://localhost:9999/bigdata/namespace/test/sparql>
{
Bind ("Algeria"@en as ?countryLabel)
}
}
}
?country rdfs:label ?countryLabel.
}
This is also the case when addressing a Jena service I have set up on a
different port.
I would appreciate any guidance you could give me.
Thanks and regards,
Greetings,
Very interesting topic,
Would love to learn more about geo coding with Wikidata,
or maybe even about spatial modeling or creating significant improvements
into desired gazeteers &/or geodatabases. Ofcourse, I am not familiar with
much of the .rdf output,
but maybe we can talk about those summarized efforts towards retreiving
spatial attributes using
the Wikidata API >? (SPRQL).

Rather than discussing whether MathML is a failed standard, web or otherwise, I recommend we discuss specific, constructive topics. I suggest the discussion be in the context of MathML where appropriate, not because I want to defend MathML but because it is an existing standard. It is a place to start. If the solutions we reach replace MathML all or in part, so be it. Let's not start by throwing it out but by addressing its problems. We can certainly create a new standard if MathML can't be fixed. Finally, if this is the wrong venue for this topic or any other, please suggest a better one. If there are other parties that need to know about the discussion, please let them know.
Assuming others agree, let’s start with perhaps an important issue. Should Presentation MathML dictate a specific rendering or leave formatting choices up to the renderer. Peter says, "I have the impression people generally expect consistent rendering across browsers. But anecdotal evidence is, well, anecdotal." I would agree with this statement. People do expect this. I believe they get that expectation from TeX but it does make sense. Why would a user want a different rendering in a different browser?
The reason I said "no" to this before was because the MathML spec leaves a lot of rendering decisions up to the implementation. Someone reading the MathML spec should NOT expect all renderings to be the same. In fact, the spec doesn't specify the rendering at the required level of detail. Doing so would be difficult. TeX doesn't specify its rendering in detail either except via the code itself. In other words, the only proper rendering of TeX is that done by TeX itself.
We could create a MathML 4 in which the graphical rendering is specified in writing and in detail. Implementations would be constrained much more than by the current spec. Another way to achieve this goal is to create a reference implementation. This would be the TeX way, or close to it.
We could even map MathML onto TeX somehow and then defer to TeX's rendering. The MathML spec would be annotated by TeX templates (perhaps macros) that serve to define the rendering. The reference implementation would consist of a MathML-to-TeX convertor and the TeX engine itself. Implementations that intend to abide by the MathML 4 spec could use the reference implementation or roll their own.
When I say rendering above, I only mean graphical rendering. When we talk about audio or braille rendering, things are much less clear. The state of the art in MathML-to-speech has certainly not reached a point where everyone can agree. Besides, there is personal taste of the reader and multiple languages to consider.
Ok, I'll stop there and take a breath.

Just a quick heads up that this is expected to go live next week. Since nobody
responded to the original announcement, we don't expect much trouble.
But if you are processing WKT literals from Wikibase RDF output, you need to
check the version number, and parse the literals accordingly.

Hi!
We are committing a patch that implements a change in RDF format output,
specifically how we output coordinates as WKT points.
If you do not use RDF format exports and specifically WKT coordinate
literals there, this change has no effect for you.
When we first implemented it, we chose to make it "Point(latitude
longitude)". Unfortunately, turns out the standard way in WKT is
Point(longitude latitude) and that's how most of the tools that
implement WKT format understand it. In general, geo-data formats are
split on this question, see http://www.macwright.org/lonlat/. But WKT is
pretty universally in lon-lat camp, so we have to follow the established
practice.
As such, we are changing the WKT representation and we are bumping the
format version (reported as schema:softwareVersion on RDF dumps/exports)
from 0.0.1 to 0.0.2 so that the tools could adjust properly.

Peter Krautzberger, maintainer of MathJax, apparently thinks that MathML has
failed as a web standard (even though it succeeded as an XML standard), and
should be removed from HTML5. Here's the link:

I think both, the rendering as well as the semantics, are well worth thinking
about. Perhaps Wikimedia should reach out to Peter Krautzberger, and discuss
some ideas of how math (and physics, and chemistry) content should be handled by
Wikipedia, Wikidata, and friends. This seems like a cross roads, and we should
have a hand in where things are going from here.

The primary sources tool can add references to existing claims. For some
reason, it started re-adding the claim yesterday instead.
Did anything change on the Wikidata-side in the last few days that could be
causing this change in behavior? Or should we look harder on the Primary
sources side?

Introduction
Data driven scientific discovery is an important emerging paradigm for computing in areas
including social computing, services, Internet of Things, sensor networks, telecommunications,
biology, health-care, and cloud. Under this paradigm, Data Science is the core that drives new
researches in many areas, from environmental to social. There are many associated scientific
challenges, ranging from data capture, creation, storage, search, sharing, modeling, analysis,
and visualization. Among the complex aspects to be addressed we mention here the integration
across heterogeneous, interdependent complex data resources for real-time decision making,
streaming data, collaboration, and ultimately value co-creation. Data science encompasses the
areas of data analytics, machine learning, statistics, optimization and managing big data, and
has become essential to glean understanding from large data sets and convert data into actionable
intelligence, be it data available to enterprises, Government or on the Web.
Following the previous two successful editions DSAA'2014, DSAA' 2015, the 3rd IEEE International
Conference on Data Science and Advanced Analytics (DSAA' 2016) aims to provide a premier forum
that brings together researchers, industry practitioners, as well as potential users of big data,
for discussion and exchange of ideas on the latest theoretical developments in Data Science as
well as on the best practices for a wide range of applications.
DSAA is also technically sponsored by ACM through SIGKDD.
DSAA'2016 will consist of two main tracks: Research and Applications. The Research Track is aimed
at collecting original contributions related to foundations of Data Science and Data Analytics.
The Applications Track is aimed at collecting original papers (not published nor under
consideration at any other venue) describing substantial contributions related to Data Science and
Data Analytics in real life scenarios. DSAA solicits then both theoretical and practical works on
data science and advanced analytics.
