Heya folks,
just for your information: We have merged the 3 Wikibase repositories
in git into 1. The new setup instructions are here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Setup Having 3
repositories turned out to be a huge hassle for the development.
A few things will probably still need to be fixed in the next hours
but I wanted to let you know quickly.
Cheers
Lydia

May be someone can phone these people in Geneva and ask wether wikidata could at least base its ontology on the ISO Standard.
(eventually by purchasing this right)
phone number: http://www.iso.org/iso/copyright.htm
in that way one would eventually not use their explicit texts and formats but could use at least their structural outline ?
Allthough it would of course be better if the formats would be in accordance.
The ISO funds itself with selling standards. May be some rich sponsor could buy their RDF classification and
make it openly accessible? Whats the ISO opinion on that did someone check?
Commercial publishing and open access need not be automatically exclusive
i.e. here one could eventually pay for an open access publication in order to prevent the ruin of the ISO.
by the way, whats MWF (mediawikifoundation?) and thanks to Fabian Suchanek for the explanations at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.wikidata/331
Hello,
is it usual, that some E-Mail-Addresses cannot be verificated for the
WikiData test pages? I recently tried again to get access did not
succeed. No verification mail was sent to me.

At Lydia's presentation in Cologne I talked about using persondata for
Wikidata. I guess I'm not the first & only one to think about that, but
since I'm new to the list, I thought I should share my opinion with you. In
Wikipedia (as well as in the German Wikisource, for one) there are two uses
of standardized data affiliated with persons which should be implemented in
Wikidata:
1) Persondata http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Personendaten is
implemented in a lot of Wikipedias and also widely used (first by the
German Wikipedia, then others followed). The template features Name,
Alternative Name(s), Short Description (like "Dutch Politician"), Date of
Birth, Place of Birth, Date of Death, Place of Death. Somebody should write
some code to have this information drawn to Wikidata. Ask APPER (
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:APPER), he's an expert on this.
2) Authority Control or "Normdaten" (
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Normdaten): Wikipedia is listing
Authority Control Numbers from a variety of institutions. This is most
widely used on persons, but there are also corporations, events, and so on.
Again, this is implemented and used in a lot of Wikipedias but most widely
at the German Wikipedia. Since April 2012, it features the type of data (p
= Person, k = Corporation, v = Event, etc.) and some authority control
numbers, most common GND (Gemeinsame Normdatei) but also LCCN (Library of
Congress Control Number), NDL (Web NDL Authorities), and VIAF (Virtual
International Authority File). Since 2006, the German Wikipedia cooperates
with the German National Library which is working on the GND. Wikipedia has
a page where users can report errors in the GND so that the library
employees can correct them (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:PND/F).
Unfortunately, I'm no programmer and I cannot help with drawing this pile
of data to Wikidata. But I think the Wikidata staff should put this item on
their agenda.
Yours, Jonathan
(and another bounce... - I think I am going to turn this off in
mailman next time this happens)

Hey :)
This is currently not possible and it isn't decided yet if we'll do it
and if so how. Currently it is just a json construct that readers
probably won't find very useful. It is not wiki text like you're used
to. If there is a specific reason why you want to see it I'd be
interested in hearing it so we can take it into account.
Cheers
Lydia

I have updated the page [1] I started containing requirements and
design notes for a topicmap-based wikidata repository. Comments are
welcomed and I'll continue to rationalize the material I have to offer.
Thanks,

hi there.
i am a student of computer sciences in germany wanting to do my academic thesis (diplomarbeit).
i am very interested in things connected to the semantic web.
so it would be a pleasure to me to work on an challenging topic for wikipedia.
this means, i am NOT looking for jobs that are just work.
but i am looking for problems that i can solute with scientific methodology, for instance developing concepts and prototypes in the field of semantic technology.
would be cool if i could do something for wikidata.
waiting for suggestions...
norman
(This was caught by mailman again and bounced to the listowners.
Anyone knows why Wikimedia's mailman seems to eat so many emails?)

Do you mean the source code of the website or the wikitext of an
article in the demo?
Cheers
