Subject: [OSM-talk] OSM+Wikidata intro video
To: OpenStreetMap talk mailing list <talk(a)openstreetmap.org>, "
tagging(a)openstreetmap.org" <tagging(a)openstreetmap.org>
The RDF/SPARQL database that has both OpenStreetMap and Wikidata data in
the same table is alive and well, and getting considerable usage. To make
it better understood by even wider community, I made an intro video with
some examples. This database mostly benefits the object tag validation and
research at this moment, as its geometry support is still in the works.
The wiki page has also seen a lot of cleanup, explaining how quality
control can be done. I hope that other tools such as JOSM and especially
MapRoulette will be able to use it directly. Also, please contribute your
SPARQL queries to the wiki page.

Hello Shani,
We also experimented with teaching Wikidata skills this year with a class
of social media students at Charles University in Prague. First 1.5hour
class introduced Wikipedia, 2nd was about Wikidata and the 3rd was a
hands-on course in Wikidata Query service. The students completed the
course with a basic understanding of how data are mined from WD and what
types of questions can be answered by WD.
If I had a 4th lesson I'd also explain Petscan and/or QuickStatements.

I've been teaching WD as part of my 2 academic courses for the past two
years. I had one 1.5 hour session dedicated to it, where I introduce ways
of contributing and ways of using the data. Their task is usually to add
info regarding the Wikipedia articles they wrote to WD. Students usually
really like the WD Games. They also like things like Histropedia, the
timeline tool.
I know Andrew lee has also tried the latter that this year and created a
session where his students creayed a timelines to explore something.
Other than that, I'm unaware of other efforts to teach with WD, but since
I'm also working on developing a separate elective about it, I'd love to
see what you come up with. :-)

Hi everyone,
In September 2017 (15.09-17.09), one of the largest hackathons in Europe
will take place in Zurich, Switzerland. The event is called HackZurich
<http://digitalfestival.ch/en/HACK/> and it is organized together with
the Digital
Festival 2017 <http://digitalfestival.ch/en>.
It is a great opportunity to make open data enthusiasts and hackers in
general aware of Wikidata, and we would also like to team up with other
Wikidata developers to *participate at HackZurich*.
One day before HackZurich, on Thu 14.09 we will be *organising a Wikidata
workshop* at the University of Zurich, where we would like to offer
information and training about Wikidata.
All the information about both the Wikidata workshop and the participation
at HackZurich can be found at the event's page:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Wikidata_Zurich
*Important*: the registration for HackZurich opens on Friday 09.06. The
workshop also requires registration
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2srUW6LjdnkpmDUKz-SkE20kGxGImX8Z…>
.
If you would like to help out in the workshop or/and participate in the
hackathon, please register in each of the events and let us know in the
Talk page:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Events/Wikidata_Zurich
Thanks!

Hi,
I am preparing an elective course on Wikidata as part of a summer
school (some bare-bone background at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Daniel_Mietchen/FSCI_2017 )
and am looking for examples of previous or ongoing coursework
involving Wikidata.
Thanks for any pointers,
Daniel

Hi everyone,
I am trying to include data from a Wikibase item in a page with
*{{#property:P2}}*. For that I need to link the page with the item, as
in Wikidata, add a sitelink. However, I don't know how to link a page
with my local repository, because in the sitelinks section I only see
the options to add a sitelink of a Wikimedia's wiki. You can check the
attached image to see what I see.
I didn't find useful documentation to solve it. Could anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Iván

Hey folks,
we plan to drop the wb_entity_per_page table sometime soon[0], because
it is just not required (as we will likely always have a programmatic
mapping from entity id to page title) and it does not supported non
-numeric entity ids as it is now. Due to this removing it is a blocker
for the commons metadata.
Is anybody using that for their tools (on tool labs)? If so, please
tell us so that we can give you instructions and a longer grace period
to update your scripts.
Cheers,
Marius
