Hey,
There is some disagreement regarding the interface to access statements in
various entities.
== Current implementation ==
This is not fully implemented yet, but it's what the interface implies will
be done.
Entities contain a list of statements. In other words, all items,
properties and queries can have statements.
Obvious objection: "statements" for properties and queries should not have
associated rank and references. They could just have a list of claims.
Original reason to go with this approach anyway: the alternative is to put
statement handling in Item and add claim handling in either both Property
and Query or in a common base. This would result in duplication and loss of
common interface for the Entities.
== New proposal ==
I think we can accommodate all the concerns listed above as follows:
* All Entities provide access to a list of claims.
* Properties and Queries contain a list of claims.
* Items contain a list of statements to which they provide access both as
list of statements and list of claims. The apparent list of claims would
correspond to a filter on rank=primary followed by a map from statement to
it's claim on the list of statements.
Any objections to implementing it like that?
Cheers

Hello all,
I was wondering, now that Wikidata breaks the assumption that pages
store wikitext, has it been considered that Wikidata concept pages could
actually use schema.org markup? Wikidata could possibly read in data
from other web pages which use schema.org markup, but what about the
Wikidata pages themselves having the markup?

Heya folks :)
Here's what's been happening over the last week. (wiki version at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Status_updates/2012_09_14)
= Development =
* Made new CreateItem special-page (also working JavaScript-less)
* Special:ItemDisambiguation got lots of love and awesome autocompletion
* Special:ItemByTitle also got lots of love and awesome autocompletion
* The client-wiki now gets notified if a connecting Sitelink gets removed
* Wrote Selenium tests for client-code
* Editing/adding site-links will display a proper link to the page again
* Removed auto-expansion for description/label input fields
* Tested setting Mediawiki to use HTML5 to make sure it works as it should
* Finished up work on new sites functionality in Wikibase and moved it
as a patch to core (which is still awaiting review)
* Worked on ValueHandler extension which will be used for our data values
* Added “Type” entity type, plus skeletons for its associated Content,
ContentHandler, ViewAction, EditAction and UndoAction
* Implemented safeguards against text-level editing of data pages
* Allow Sitelinks to Wikipedia only (fixed regression)
* Wrote permission checks and edit conflict detection for ApiSetItem,
undo/restore, etc.
* Fixed display of deleted revisions of data items
* Added --verbose option to pollForChanges maintenance script to show
change summary
* Bug fixes and improvements for right-to-left languages
* Updated demo system http://wikidata-test.wikimedia.de/
* The long format (more like the json output format) for wbsetitem API
module is now alive
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Wikibase/API#New_long_format)

10th ESWC 2013 -- Semantics and Big Data
May 26-30, 2013, Montpellier, France.
http://2013.eswc-conferences.org/
General Chair:
Philipp Cimiano (Bielefeld University, DE)
Program Chairs
Valentina Presutti (STLab, ISTC-CNR, IT)
Oscar Corcho (UPM, ES)
==== *Call for Papers* ====
ESWC is the premier European-based annual conference for researchers and practitioners in the field of semantic technologies. ESWC is the ideal venue for the discussion of the latest scientific insights and novel applications of semantic technologies.
The leading motto of the 10th edition of ESWC will be "Semantics and Big Data". A crucial challenge that will guide the efforts of many scientific communities in the years to come is the one of making sense of large volumes of heterogeneous and complex data. Application-relevant data often has to be processed in real time and originates from diverse sources such as Linked Data, text and speech, images, videos and sensors, communities and social networks, etc. ESWC, with its focus on semantics, can offer an important contribution to global challenge.
ESWC 2013 will feature nine thematic research tracks (see below) as well as an in-use and industrial track. In line with the motto "Semantics and Big Data", the conference will feature a special track on "Semantic Technologies for Big Data Analytics in Real Time". In order to foster the interaction with other disciplines, this year's edition will also feature a special track on "Cognition and Semantic Web".
For the research and special tracks, we welcome the submission of papers describing theoretical, analytical, methodological, empirical, and application research on semantic technologies. For the In-Use and Industrial track we solicit the submission of papers describing the practical exploitation of semantic technologies in different domains and sectors. Submitted papers should describe original work, present significant results, and provide rigorous, principled, and repeatable evaluation. We strongly encourage and appreciate the submission of papers including links to data sets and other material used for the evaluation as well as to live demos or source code for tool implementations.
Submitted papers will be judged based on originality, awareness of related work, potential impact on the Semantic Web field, technical soundness of the proposed methods, and readability. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three program committee members in addition to one track chair. This year a rebuttal phase has been introduced in order to give authors the opportunity to provide feedback to reviewers' questions. The authors' answers will support reviewers and track chairs in their discussion and in taking final decisions regarding acceptance.
** Important Dates (11:59pm Hawaii Time) **
Abstract submission: December 5th, 2012
Full paper submission: December 12th, 2012
Authors' rebuttals: February 11th-12th, 2013
Acceptance Notification: February 22nd, 2013

Conference: May 26th-30th, 2013
** Submission information **
All papers and abstracts have to be submitted via the conference submission page:https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eswc2013
Each submitted paper must be associated with one of the available tracks.
Abstract submission is a strict requirement.
Papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Papers must be in English, should not exceed fifteen (15) pages in length and must be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines. More information about Springer's LNCS series are available on the Springer LNCS Web site. Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format and will not be accepted in any other format. Papers that exceed 15 pages or do not follow the LNCS guidelines can be rejected automatically without a review.
Authors of accepted papers will be required to provide semantic annotations for the abstract of their submission at the time of acceptance. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there.
All tracks and associated chairs are listed below. Additional information, track descriptions, and list of topics of interest can be found on the conference web site:http://2013.eswc-conferences.org/.

Heya folks :)
We updated the demo system again. The corresponding git tag is:
8a7284ca581c8c6981613335b5e73b9359e856f0
Most important are problably:
* new API for bots (bug 39143)
* lots of rtl testing still needed
The next demo update after this should hopefully give you the first
user-visible parts of phase 2 of Wikidata. \o/
It's getting wet and cold outside here. Perfect time for some hacking
on Wikidata for you? Here's some new stuff to work on:

This survey of bot libraries in several langugages
https://github.com/cariaso/smwcon2012bots
and this semi-functional SMW aware bot
https://github.com/cariaso/Semantic-MediaWiki-Bot
may also be of interest. In time I hope to ensure wikidata is well
supported in these tools.

OKFN Labs just released a lightweight JS library to pull machine-readable data on Wikipedia articles from DBPedia

Heya folks :)
We just updated the demo system again with the newest code so you can
give it some testing. In the process we had to delete the existing
user accounts. Sorry about that.
http://wikidata-test.wikimedia.de
New stuff to try out includes:
* table layout on item pages has been reworked
* edit conflict detection
* undo/restore for edits
Cheers
Lydia
