Wikiata and the LOD cloud
by Ettore RIZZA 08 May '18

08 May '18

Hi all, The new version of the "Linked Open data Cloud" graph <http://lod-cloud.net/> is out ... and still no Wikidata in it. According to this Twitter discussion <https://twitter.com/AmrapaliZ/status/990927835400474626>, this would be due to a lack of metadata on Wikidata. No way to fix that easily? The LOD cloud is cited in many scientific papers, it is not a simple gadget. Cheers, Ettore Rizza

Use Repology to update software package data
by David Kleuker 02 May '18

02 May '18

Hello, i want to inform you that Repology has your "repository" of software versions included and can list problems or outdated versions that way. https://repology.org/repository/wikidata https://repology.org/repository/wikidata/problems https://repology.org/metapackages/?inrepo=wikidata&outdated=1&families_newe… https://repology.org/metapackages/?inrepo=wikidata&outdated=1&families_newe… You might want to give that information to the maintainers of this data set. I havn't found a portal or place for related informations. It is probably possible to automatize this somehow. Just ask a human for source link that package actually has that version now or scrape the projects download page for that version string and use that. Are you interested to import data from there? Like when a version is available in more than 10 repositorys trust and import it. You can ask for such a feature (with compatible license) here: https://github.com/repology/repology I hope that helps you to make Wikidata better. It's a great project! kind regards davidak
