Can or will Wikidata handle Link FA / Link GA? Or will the Wikipedias handle it in the old way? Will that fit into the system? -- Bináris

[Wikidata-l] "importing data is hard" - on integrating open data projects

by Sumana Harihareswara

I thought people on this list would want to read http://infotrope.net/2012/11/30/importing-data-is-hard/ , a list of difficulties Alex Bayley (Skud, who used to work on Freebase) experienced when attempting to reuse open data. Perhaps there are things Wikidata is already doing to eliminate some of these problems for our end users. In any case, I thought people here would be interested. -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation

[Wikidata-l] weekly summary #34

by Lydia Pintscher

Heya folks :) Here's your weekly summary of all the good stuff happening around Wikidata. = Development = * Added DirectSqlStore to client so that it can directly access the repository database, and not require creating any tables on the client * Bug fixing on the client extension, and preparing it for first deployment * Less edit conflicts due to a smarter conflict detection * Better recent changes comments on the client * Clean up on the backend for entity artefacts * The statement UI enables to create statements and displays them, but has still a few glitches * The client now accesses the data on the server directly, and the data is not replicated anymore * Added a number of profiler calls * Special:Contributions displays labels now * User preference on the client to hide Wikidata edits * Statements can be created and saved now * Statements are properly styled in JavaScript and non-JavaScript version * Improved JavaScript part of the templating engine * Improved entity selector widget * Client:Watchlist Selenium Tests * Client: RecentChanges Selenium tests * Added DataValues, DataTypes, jQuery.ui QUnit tests to Selenium * Some PHPUnit test fixes See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Current_sprint for what we’re working on next.
