The Skype meeting about enriching Wikidata with the risk factors of diseases is within two hours
by Houcemeddine A. Turki 18 Aug '18

18 Aug '18

Dear Mr. or Ms., I thank you for your efforts. We are beginning a new project to enrich Wikidata with high-scale information about the risk factors of diseases. If you are interesting in the project, you can join the discussion within two hours in Skype at 3PM UTC about the project and the PubMed-based method of the automatic enrichment of Wikidata we will use. My account is csisc1994. Just to know if there will be participants to this RiskData second meeting, please confirm your participation by answering this email. Yours Sincerely, Houcemeddine Turki

You can now query the constraint violations with the Query Service
by Léa Lacroix 18 Aug '18

18 Aug '18

Hello all, We started integrating the constraint violations into the Query Service. That means you can build queries using the constraint violations, with the predicate wikibase:hasViolationForConstraint. This will hopefully help you to watch better the quality of Wikidata content. Please note that this is a first step. Not all constraint violations are exposed yet, only the ones that can be checked fast enough. We're working on having more available in WDQS. You can base your queries on these few examples: #10 statements with constraint violations that are currently includedSELECT * WHERE {?x wikibase:hasViolationForConstraint ?y.} LIMIT 10 Try it! <https://query.wikidata.org/#%2310%20statements%20with%20constraint%20violat…> #Map/timeline/image grid of items that have a statement with a constraint violation#defaultView:MapSELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?image ?coordinate_location ?point_in_time ?date_of_birth WHERE { ?s wikibase:hasViolationForConstraint ?y. ?item ?z1 ?s.

Invitation to discuss RiskData:, Wikidata as a high-scale database of risk factors for human diseases
by Houcemeddine A. Turki 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Dear Mr. or Ms., I thank you for your efforts. As risk factor Wikidata property is added to Wikidata yesterday night, we will use it to enrich Wikidata with the risk factors of diseases using an automatic method of bibliometric-enhanced retrieval of biomedical relations. As we would like to have your opinions about this automatic method, we invite you for a Skype discussion tomorrow at 11 AM (GMT). For those who would like to participate to this meeting, please reply to this email and confirm your participation. I will send you my Skype username. Yours Sincerely, Houcemeddine Turki

Please keep me posted if you decide to meet again at a different time. Thank you. Sincerely, Scott Scott_WUaS Dear Mr. Houcemeddine Turki, WikiMedicine, Wikidatans (and Wikimedians), I would like to participate in this Skype conference (and with regard too to WUaS's planned online medical schools, with online teaching hospitals for online clinical care - planned in each of all ~200 countries' official and main languages). Please send me your Skype username off-list. Thank you, Houcemeddine. ... Here's the beginning online Medical School at WUaS in English - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_Sch… - which will connect with Wikidata as its "backend" eventually. And WUaS also seeks to emerge out of Stanford Medicine and with OpenCourseWare in multiple languages for our medical schools.

Please create risk factor Wikidata property
by Houcemeddine A. Turki 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Dear Mr. or Ms., I thank you for your efforts. Several days ago, I created a proposal for risk factor so that it can be added as a Wikidata property. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/risk_factor. The status of the proposal is currently ready. This means that the property is eligible for creation. That is why I invite you to create it so that I can organize this week a Skype discussion about our method of the automatic enrichment of Wikidata with risk factors. Of course, in this online meeting, I will absoolutely show the method in details and adjust it according to your opinions. Yours Sincerely, Houcemeddine Turki

Indexing all item properties in ElasticSearch
by Stas Malyshev 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hi! Today we are indexing in ElasticSearch almost all string properties (except a few) and select item properties (P31 and P279). We've been asked to extend this set and index more item properties (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T199884). We did not do it from the start because we did not want to add too much data to the index at once, and wanted to see how the index behaves. To evaluate what this change would mean, some statistics: All usage of item properties in statements is about 231 million uses (according to sqid tool database). Of those, about 50M uses are "instance of" which we are already indexing. Another 98M uses belong to two properties - published in (P1433) and cites (P2860). Leaving about 86M for the rest of the properties. So, if we index all the item properties except P2860 and P1433, we'll be a little more than doubling the amount of data we're storing for this field, which seems OK. But if we index those too, we'll be essentially quadrupling it - which may be OK too, but is bigger jump and one that may potentially cause some issues. So, we have two questions: 1. Do we want to enable indexing for all item properties? Note that if you just want to find items with certain statement values, Wikidata Query Service matches this use case best. It's only in combination with actual fulltext search where on-wiki search is better. 2. Do we need to index P2860 and P1433 at all, and if so, would it be ok if we omit indexing for now? Would be glad to hear thoughts on the matter. Thanks, -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev(a)wikimedia.org

The future of bibliographic data in Wikidata: 4 possible federation scenarios
by Dario Taraborelli 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hey all, we had a productive “strategy meetup” at Wikimania with a group of about 20 people, to talk about the future of WikiCite and a roadmap for source metadata in Wikidata more generally. The motivation for this meetup was a set of concerns around scalability and “growing pains” around bibliographic and citation data in Wikidata, as well as the need (that many in the community have expressed) for a clearer goal, value proposition, and scope for WikiCite. The result is a series of notes fleshing out 4 possible scenarios for the future of bibliographic data as structured data—from a centralized scenario to a fully federated one—discussing their possible risks and benefits at the technical, social, and governance level: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiCite/Roadmap The question these notes try to address is whether Wikimedia should aim to build a “bibliographic commons”, and if so, what it would look like, and where it should live. This document is not a formal proposal or an RfC open for a vote, but a conversation starter to evaluate what type of future makes most sense for this data and the communities and stakeholders that will benefit from it. A shared understanding on what we’re building towards is also going to help us inform the program of the upcoming WikiCite 2018 conference in November (the application process will open in a few days). If you wish to share your thoughts on these four scenarios, please chime in on wiki, rather than replying here, to avoid thread splintering (I’m cross-posting this on a few mailing lists). Dario on behalf of the meetup participants
