Hello all,
We’re planning to add JSON-LD as a serialization format for Wikidata. This
will allow for example an easier access to RDF data from Javascript.
This is now deployed on https://wikidata.beta.wmflabs.org. Example:
https://wikidata.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q64.jsonld
As with the other formats we already support (like turtle or rdf/xml),
content negotiation is used if the format is not indicated by a suffix like
.jsonld. The MIME type that can be used in the Accept header to request
JSON-LD output is application/ld+json.
If you’re interested in this feature, please test it, and let us know if
you find any issues. The related ticket is this one
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T207168>. If everything goes as planned,
we will enable it to wikidata.org on October 31st.
Cheers,
--

Hi!
We are planning to change the prefix and associated URIs in RDF
representation for Wikidata from:
PREFIX wikibase: <http://wikiba.se/ontology-beta#>
to:
PREFIX wikibase: <http://wikiba.se/ontology#>
If you are using Wikidata Query Service, you do not have to do anything,
as WDQS already is using the new definition.
However, if you consume RDF exports from Wikidata or RDF dumps directly,
you will need to change your clients to expect the new URI scheme for
Wikibase ontology.
Also, if you're using Wikibase extension in your project, please be
aware that the RDF URIs generated by it will use this prefix after the
change. This is defined in repo/includes/Rdf/RdfVocabulary.php around
line 175:
self::NS_ONTOLOGY => self::ONTOLOGY_BASE_URI . "#",
The new data will have schema:softwareVersion "1.0.0" triple on the
dataset node[1], which will allow your software to distinguish the new
data format from the old one.
The task tracking the change is
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112127. I will make another
announcement when the change is merged and deployed and the data
produced by Wikidata is going to change.
Please contact me (or comment in the task) if you have any questions or
concerns.

Hi,
This Wednesday – as every week – there will be the Technical Advice IRC
meeting on #wikimedia-tech!
IMPORTANT:
Due to the end of the daylight saving time we have to change the time of
the meeting to *4 pm UTC*!
The Technical Advice IRC Meeting is a weekly support event for volunteer
developers. Every Wednesday, two full-time developers are available to help
you with all your questions about Mediawiki, gadgets, tools and more! This
can be anything from "how to get started" over "who would be the best
contact for X" to specific questions on your project.
If you know already what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your
topic to the next meeting:

Hope to see you there!

FYI
I think this is the same ?
IMDb (P345)

A bot has just come in and fixed everything, in this case, the
formatter url was left intact so the old ulr’s
were still there, the bot just put in the wayback URL’s.
but what the bot did not due was reverse what editors had done
in the past.
in the pages under IMDb ID, ch #######
1. The rank on the pages is still marked at deprecation.
2. ( reason for
deprecation) p2241 was added and is still
there.
2. ( former IMDb
character page), Q44374960 was created just for this and added and it is still
ther.

Hi,
I have finally got around to starting to decommission dbpedialite.org
Pages now redirect to Wikidata entity URIs.
I won't be renewing the domain name when it expires 2019-05-09.

Subject: Re: [Wikidata] Wiki PageID
Hi,
A number of years ago I was having some very
frustrating times with the identifier instability in dbpedia. Two people looking
up an identifier for the same concept at different times ended up with different
identifiers.
So I created a proof of concept, dbpedialite, which uses
Wikipedia PageIDs:
http://www.dbpedialite.org/things/87851
(At
the time there was a page title edit war between Stoat and
Ermine)
But now we have Wikidata – which solves this problem much
better – so I should really get on and decommission dbpedialite.
What are
you using Wikipedia Page IDs for? Might it be better to store the Wikidata
ID and then lookup the Wikipedia page on
demand?
