Wiki PageID
by Gintautas Sulskus 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

Hi, I have a couple of questions regarding the Wiki Page ID. Does it always stay unique for the page, where the page itself is just a placeholder for any kind of information that might change over time? Consider the following cases: 1. The first time someone creates page "Moon" it is assigned ID=1. If at some point the page is renamed to "The_Moon", the ID=1 remains intact. Is this correct? 2. What if we have page "Moon" with ID=1. Someone creates a second-page "The_Moon" with ID=2. Is it possible that page "Moon" is transformed into a redirect? Then, "Moon" would be redirecting to page "The_Moon"? 3. Is it possible for page "Moon" to become a category "Category:Moon" with the same ID=1? Thanks, Gintas

Wikidata HDT dump
by Laura Morales 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

Hello everyone, I'd like to ask if Wikidata could please offer a HDT [1] dump along with the already available Turtle dump [2]. HDT is a binary format to store RDF data, which is pretty useful because it can be queried from command line, it can be used as a Jena/Fuseki source, and it also uses orders-of-magnitude less space to store the same data. The problem is that it's very impractical to generate a HDT, because the current implementation requires a lot of RAM processing to convert a file. For Wikidata it will probably require a machine with 100-200GB of RAM. This is unfeasible for me because I don't have such a machine, but if you guys have one to share, I can help setup the rdf2hdt software required to convert Wikidata Turtle to HDT. Thank you.

GraFa: Faceted browser for RDF/Wikidata [feedback requested]
by Aidan Hogan 30 Mar '18

30 Mar '18

Hey all, A Masters student of mine (José Moreno in CC) has been working on a faceted navigation system for (large-scale) RDF datasets called "GraFa". The system is available here loaded with a recent version of Wikidata: http://grafa.dcc.uchile.cl/ Hopefully it is more or less self-explanatory for the moment. :) If you have a moment to spare, we would hugely appreciate it if you could interact with the system for a few minutes and then answer a quick questionnaire that should only take a couple more minutes: https://goo.gl/forms/h07qzn0aNGsRB6ny1 Just for the moment while the questionnaire is open, we would kindly request to send feedback to us personally (off-list) to not affect others' responses. We will leave the questionnaire open for a week until January 16th, 17:00 GMT. After that time of course we would be happy to discuss anything you might be interested in on the list. :) After completing the questionnaire, please also feel free to visit or list something you noticed on the Issue Tracker: https://github.com/joseignm/GraFa/issues Many thanks, Aidan and José

Fwd: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2018 Call for Submissions
by Léa Lacroix 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hello all, The call for submissions for Wikimania 2018 is now open! If you have any idea regarding Wikidata, if you plan to submit something, if you're looking for people to help with running a workshop... feel free to coordinate on Wikidata:Wikimania 2018 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikimania_2018>. The deadline for all kind of submissions is March 18th, pretty soon already. Don't miss it! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Liam Wyatt <liamwyatt(a)gmail.com> Date: 5 February 2018 at 07:21 Subject: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2018 Call for Submissions To: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)" < wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia Mailing List < wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Program committee list <wikimania-program(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Dear Wikimedia community, We are pleased to announce that Wikimania 2018 is now accepting proposals for workshops, discussions, presentations, or research posters to give during the conference. To read the full instructions visit the event wiki and click on the link provided there to make your proposal: https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions The deadline for submissions is 23:59 UTC on *Sunday March 18, 2018*. This is approximately 6 weeks away. Whether you are a community member of one of the Wikimedia projects, or a fellow open content creator or consumer, we welcome your proposal for a session. *Theme* This year, the conference will be taking place in Cape Town, South Africa, where the organisers are giving this Wikimania a unique flavor — an explicit theme based in African philosophy: “Bridging knowledge gaps, the *ubuntu* way forward.” Read more about this theme, why it was chosen, and what it means for the conference program at the Wikimedia blog: *https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/02/05/wikimania-cape-town-ubuntu/ <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/02/05/wikimania-cape-town-ubuntu/>* Throughout the conference program, this theme will be tightly held, but loosely defined - in order to encourage a diverse range of responses to the theme. It is our hope that this theme will give us the opportunity to further our goal of creating the “sum of human knowledge”, by encouraging greater diversity and inclusion in who participates and what we discuss at Wikimania. To learn more, and to make a proposal for the conference, please visit: https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions Please forward this announcement to other lists and groups across the Wikimedia movement. <https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions> We look forward to reading your submissions.

Structured Data on Commons feedback - What gets stored where (Ontology)
by Keegan Peterzell 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Greetings, There is a new feedback request up on Wikimedia Commons regarding Structured Data on Commons. The topic is a very important discussion: between wikitext-in-Mediawiki, Wikibase on Commons, and Wikibase on Wikidata, what file metadata gets store where? The discussion is here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/Get_involved/Fee… [0] It will formally run for two weeks, closing on 1 March. There will not be decisions made at that time, this is a part of the information-gathering process in order to make the informed decisions. Thank you for your time, see you on the wiki. 0.

You can give feedback about the Weekly Summary
by Léa Lacroix 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Hello all, If you read the weekly Wikidata newsletter, written by volunteers and the Wikidata team, we would be very interested by your feedback. The newsletter reached its 300th edition <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates/2018_02_19> and we are wondering how we together could improve it and make it even more useful for the community. You can find *a page with a few questions <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates/Feedback_300th_edition>*. You don't have to answer to all of them. If you're not reading the Weekly Summary, or used to but stopped reading it, there is a section just for you <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates/Feedback_300th_editio…> ! And as a reminder, the Weekly Summary is collaborative and you can add information for the next edition on this page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates/Next>. Your participation would be very appreciated :) Thanks in advance for your help, -- Léa Lacroix Project Manager Community Communication for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

Metadata about Persistent Identifiers
by Andy Mabbett 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

At PIDapalooza 2018 https://pidapalooza.org/ I discussed with a few people - not Wikidatans - how to document Persistent (or Unique) Identifiers. As an example, I created 'KoreaMed Unique Identifier': https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q47489994 How could we improve that? What additional properties might we need? What properties already exist, that we could make use of? Also, this query: http://tinyurl.com/y6wdrbhd returns over 5000 instances/ subclasses of "unique identifier" (Q6545185) but includes both /types/ of identifiers (like the example above) and individual identifier values, like ".ar" as an internet TLD (domain name itself - Q32635 - is a subclass, not an instance, of UID) - how should we distinguish between the two classes? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk

Weekly Summary #300 special edition
by Léa Lacroix 19 Feb '18

19 Feb '18

Welcome to the 300th Weekly Summary! The weekly newsletter was started by Lydia <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Lydia_Pintscher_%28WMDE%29> at the very beginning of the Wikidata project, even before the first deployment, to keep the community informed about the developments, the new projects and tools. More than five years later, the newsletter is still there, its content powered by the community, and sent every week all along the years. I wanted to say a warm "thank you!" to each person who helped filling the Weekly Summary <3 Over the past years, as you know, Wikidata has grown a lot. More data, more tools, more editors and reusers, more exciting projects led by the community. The Weekly Summary has evolved with us, and the 300th edition seems a good moment to ask you all your suggestions about the newsletter, how it could continue evolving, and how you would like to improve it. On that purpose, you can find *a feedback page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates/Feedback_300th_edition>* to express all your ideas about the Weekly Summary. We're very interested to know more about your reading habits, the parts you're more or less interested in, the new topics you would like to share with the community. Thanks in advance for filling it. I stay available anytime to discuss with you, feel free to contact me if you have any question or concern! Cheers, Léa <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Lea_Lacroix_%28WMDE%29> A selection of cool tools on Wikidata *Here are a few tools that are recommended by some Wikidata community members.
