[Wikidata-l] Speak fo WM CEE Meeting
by Michal Matúšov 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Hi. In Wikimedia Slovakia we are preparing Wikimedia Central and East Europe Meeting, see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Meeting_2013 [1] There is interest about Wikidata and I would like to invite Wikidata representative to have speak there. Unfortunately, core WD team can not attend so I would like to invite a community member. We prefer a member from CEE region; travel costs will be reimbursed. The main goal of the meeting is to fortify interstate and international collaboration between various Wikimedia chapters, thematic organisations, user groups and other communities in Central and East Europe and its regions so it would be great if speak about Wikidata could be in line with this topic. Of course, it is good but not compulsory ;) Please contact me if you feel qualified for such speak / seminar. Thanks in advance for your respond! -- Michal Matúšov [[:w:sk:Redaktor:KuboF]] Wikimedia Slovenská republika Dom služieb ALFA Februárová 1478/2 958 01 Partizánske predseda / president Web: http://wikimedia.sk [2] Facebook: www.facebook.com/WikimediaSK [3] Twitter: https://twitter.com/WikimediaSK [4] Links: ------ [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Meeting_2013 [2] http://wikimedia.sk [3] http://www.facebook.com/WikimediaSK [4] https://twitter.com/WikimediaSK

[Wikidata-l] creator template, wikimedia commons
by rupert THURNER 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

hi, we are currently experimenting to have, after zb zürich earlier the year[1], a second museum from switzerland uploading full quality images (i.e. tif format)[2]. i was wondering what is the most "wikidata compatible" way of adding a creator information to an image like this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Soleure_Aa_0012.tif the painter winterlin is in the category, has a template including personal information, just like the wikipedia article, and the wikidata entry. rupert.

[Wikidata-l] Dexbot problem
by Andy Mabbett 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

There's a problem with Dexbot adding bogus values. For example, place of death = "Welsh People" on the entry for Catrin Collier (still very much alive): http://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q13416998&diff=72279065&oldid=497… Since I have no broadband, due to an ISP failure, I can't post about this on-Wiki. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk

[Wikidata-l] Wikidata Toolkit: call for feedback/support
by Markus Krötzsch 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Dear Wikidatanions (*), I have just drafted a little proposal for creating more tools for external people to work with Wikidata, especially to build services on top of its data [1]. Your feedback and support is needed. Idea: Currently, this is quite hard for people, since we only have WDA for reading/analysing dumps [2] and Wikidata Query as a single web service to ask queries [3]. We should have more support for programmers who want to load, query, analyse, and otherwise use the data. The proposal is to start such a toolkit to enable more work with the data. The plan is to kickstart this project with a small team using Wikimedia's Individual Engagement program. For this we will need your support -- feel free to add your voice to the wiki page [1]. Of course, comments of all sorts are also great -- this email thread will be linked from the page. If you would like to be involved with the project, that's great too; let me know and I can add you to the proposal. The proposal will already be submitted tomorrow, but support should also be possible after that, I hope. Cheers, Markus (*) Do we have a demonym yet? Wikipedian sounds natural, Wikidatan less so. Maybe this should be another thread ... ;-) [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Wikidata_Toolkit [2] http://github.com/mkroetzsch/wda [3] http://208.80.153.172/wdq/ -- Markus Kroetzsch, Departmental Lecturer Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford Room 306, Parks Road, OX1 3QD Oxford, United Kingdom +44 (0)1865 283529 http://korrekt.org/

[Wikidata-l] WpIAF and WdIAF?
by John Erling Blad 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

It seems like some GLAM institutions are starting to use URLs to Wikipedia articles as common identifiers for classes of items in collections. I guess this will change over time to be URLs to Wikidata instead. This is pretty much as expected, but it is although a bit strange that they are using Wikipedia and that no-one seems to have noticed this from our side. Is there anyone that know how common this is? Så far I have only heard about a few of them, and I'm not even sure they have any clear understanding why they do it.. John / jeblad

I know of a couple of Swedish museums/institutions which do it. Either manually or bed on which pages/images contains links pointing back to specific items in their collections. Essentially they use it as a "you might also be interested in" suggestion. Also know that a few of their authority files includes wikipedia links as "same_as" properties. /André ------ André Costa GLAM-tekniker Wikimedia Sverige Den 27 sep 2013 08:43 skrev "John Erling Blad" <jeblad(a)gmail.com>: It seems like some GLAM institutions are starting to use URLs to Wikipedia articles as common identifiers for classes of items in collections.
