Greetings!
We invite you to join our next Structured Data Q&A on IRC office hours next Thursday, Oc. 16, at 18:00 UTC.
Our Multimedia team and the Wikidata team will be on hand for this discussion, as well as some of the community volunteers who are helping guide this project, such as Multichill and TheDJ.
During this hour-long IRC chat, we will discuss our next steps for this Structured Data project, and give you an update on our bootcamp in Berlin. Please RSVP here, so we know who plans to attend:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data#Discussions
Early next week, we will update our Structured Data pages with our latest work on this project, and send another email to invite you to review them.
And if you are based in Europe, we also invite you to join the Amsterdam Hackathon on November 14-16 , 2014. Many of us will be at this event, and plan to give more updates as well as do some hacking together. You can register here:
https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org/forms/d/1Gpvz3BH5Y4dqSIiwv2HE_X8fOP…
Please spread the word in your community, and invite them to join this chat, and/or the hackathon.
We look forward to a productive discussions with many of you tomorrow.
Regards as ever,
Fabrice — for the Structured Data team

Hi all,
why are both the subclass of and instance of properties set for the ethanol (showcase) item?
For me ethanol is a single concrete alcohol and it is not a class. There is only one ethanol, with a single chemical formula and structure, so only the instance of property is right for this item ?
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q153
Thank you
Alain
Hoi,
Jon a great initiative. I hope many people will consider updating Wikidata
as well. As you know, Wikidata serves many languages with results when
there is no article available. It is done especially well when people
choose the "Reasonator" icon or when they choose a Wikipedia article in
another language.
Of particular interest are the commonalities like other awards, their alma
mater, where they are employed. When people who are in the public eye are
known for other awards as well, we find that these connections are
important and make people find the associated people and places of interest
as well.
Thanks,
Gerard

Sorry Micru, I read your document, but I can't see a relation beetween ethanol, negenthropy, and Wikidata's survival :)

I thought folks might like to know that every human gene (according to the United States National Center for Biotechnology Information) now has a representative entity on wikidata. I hope that these are the seeds for some amazing applications in biology and medicine.
Well done Andra and ProteinBoxBot !
For example:
Here is one (of approximately 40,000) called "spinocerebellar ataxia 37"

Do you have any plans to keep the data fresh?

Yes we plan to keep the data fresh. We are currently looking into optimising the current bot to increase the throughput and also in ways to automate the update process.

Yes indeed we do. Andra is working on a scheduler for the update bot now.
(And thanks to the tips about wbeditentity function it should go faster
now...)
We have a grant to expand the scope of the original gene wiki project (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Wiki) to a) use wikidata as its structural foundation and b) expand into other areas such as genes and diseases.
Looking forward to continuing to work with the community to make wikidata a key hub of open biological and medical information on the Web.

That's really great news!
Would you be willing to write a blog post about what you did, your plans for the future and why this is awesome? Jens can work with you on getting that published on our blog. We ran a few lately and your project sounds like it should get a bit ore exposure ;-) http://blog.wikimedia.de/tag/wikidata/

Sweet. As long as you want. Don't write a novel ;-) Pictures are a plus. One or two pages is a good goal.
Just send it to Jens and CC me. We'll get it published asap then.

*****************************************
Hi everyone,
Back to the usual schedule - sorry for how things have been the past few
weeks. Also sorry for starting the cycle off with a broken link in the
distributed summary :)

Thanksm

Dear all,
I am happy to announce the third release of Wikidata Toolkit [1], the
Java library for programming with Wikidata and Wikibase. The main new
features are:
* Full support for the (now) standard JSON format used by Wikidata
* Huge performance improvements (decompressing and parsing the whole
JSON dump now takes about 15min; was more like 80min before)
* Many new example programs for inspiration and guidance [2]
Maven users can get the library directly from Maven Central (see [1]);
this is the preferred method of installation. There is also an
all-in-one JAR at github [3] and of course the sources [4].
Version 0.3.0 is still in alpha. For the next release, we will focus on
the following tasks:
* Support a binary format for even faster random access (some of this is
done already, but not quite ready for release yet)
* A command-line tool for data processing/conversion tasks
* Support for storing and querying data
Feedback is very welcome. Developers are also invited to contribute via
github.
Cheers,
Markus

Dear all:
Those of you active in research may be interested in submitting to a
recently announced special issue of the Journal of Web Semantics that
explicitly refers to Wikidata in its call:
"JWS Special Issue on Knowledge Graphs"
http://www.websemanticsjournal.org/index.php/ps/announcement/view/19
I am a guest editor for this issue and I would obviously be delighted to
see some Wikidata-related works, but also other research on large,
heterogeneous, graph-like knowledge collections is welcome. JWS is a top
journal on Web data and semantic technologies, so we are looking for
high-quality research here.
Please spread the word as appropriate.
Cheers,
Markus
P.S. Note that JWS provides Open Access options for those who want to
ensure that their work is freely licensed. However, JWS also has a
tradition of keeping all of its preprints freely accessible via its
preprint archive; see
http://www.websemanticsjournal.org/index.php/ps/issue/archive
