Reminder: Technical Advice IRC meeting again **Wednesday 3-4 pm UTC** on
#wikimedia-tech.
Question can be asked in English, Bulgarian & Persian.
The Technical Advice IRC Meeting (TAIM) is a weekly support event for
volunteer developers. Every Wednesday, two full-time developers are
available to help you with all your questions about Mediawiki, gadgets,
tools and more! This can be anything from "how to get started" over "who
would be the best contact for X" to specific questions on your project.
If you know already what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your
topic to the next meeting:

Hope to see you there!

Hi everybody,
A heads-up that "Wikipedia and IIIF" is the proposed subject for the
IIIF community call this week -- see
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/iiif-discuss/wy2uRl_ukJ0
The IIIF community call is a one-hour conference call on Zoom (people
can also dial in by telephone), that happens once every two weeks, with
either a technical or a community focus -- see
https://iiif.io/community/call/ .
This call will be in two days time, on Wednesday, the 15th of August, at
mid-day Eastern time (ie 5pm London time, 6pm CET).
The scope will include all Wikimedia platforms (ie Commons, Wikidata,
etc), and presentations can be included by prior arrangement. It might
be good if someone from the structured data team could listen in, and
perhaps present the team's thoughts for upcoming IIIF-compatible and
accessible annotations ?
Background:
IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) is a Library and
GLAM led consortium developing standards for making images, image
metadata, and document metadata available over the web, so that content
provided by a GLAM (eg a scanned book) can be viewed in a multitude of
different viewers; and documents can be created combining or annotating
images, which remain served from their home institution's servers.
A small test service at present exists on Toolforge, which can interpret
IIIF-format requests to serve scaled Commons images or image-fragments.
This is currently used to display P2677 "relative position within image"
fragments, amongst other things, for example if this script is used to
turn those values into blue links:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Husky/ifff-viewer-link.js
A developing agenda for the call can be found at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_QGZjyYR38HfDtqgoJ-Tc5kIZXkqCETBbeWbzlC…
No pre-registration is necessary, but it may be worth checking
beforehand that your computer or smartphone is set up for Zoom.
It would be useful to be able to provide some input as to where we
currently are, and what we're hoping to achieve in this area.
James.

Hello all,
Thanks to Lucas who filled the necessary requirements, Wikidata now appears
in the LOD cloud graph: http://lod-cloud.net
Currently, the graph doesn't display all the actual connections of
Wikidata. The only connections that show up are the properties that link to
other projects or databases, and having a specific statement on them to
link to an RDF endpoint.
If you see something missing, you can contribute by adding the statement
“formatter URI for RDF resource” on properties where the resource supports
RDF (example <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P214#P1921>).
You can learn more about the procedure to update the graph and a list of
the existing and missing datasets here
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Lucas_Werkmeister_(WMDE)/LOD_Cloud>,
Thanks to Lucas and John for making this happening!

Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I thank you for your efforts. I invite you to support the proposal of risk factor as a Wikidata property. The property will be an excellent contribution to Wikidata as it can allow this high-scale knowledge base to be useful for digital epidemiology purposes. The proposal is available in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/risk_factor. This property is a generalization of the first property proposal I developed.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I thank you for your efforts. I have created several days ago a property proposal for risk factor. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/risk_factor. The proposal is discussed now. So, I ask if it can be validated now and if the Wikidata property for risk factor can be consequently created.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
Forwarding.

Hi Everyone,
The next Wikimedia Research Showcase will be live-streamed Wednesday,
August 13 2018 at 11:30 AM (PDT) 18:30 UTC.
YouTube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGPMS4YGDMk
As usual, you can join the conversation on IRC at #wikimedia-research. And,
you can watch our past research showcases here.

Hope to see you there!
This month's presentations is:
*Quicksilver: Training an ML system to generate draft Wikipedia articles
and Wikidata entries simultaneously*
John Bohannon and Vedant Dharnidharka, Primer
The automatic generation and updating of Wikipedia articles is usually
approached as a multi-document summarization task: Given a set of source
documents containing information about an entity, summarize the entity.
Purely sequence-to-sequence neural models can pull that off, but getting
enough data to train them is a challenge. Wikipedia articles and their
reference documents can be used for training, as was recently done
<https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.10198> by a team at Google AI. But how do you
find new source documents for new entities? And besides having humans read
all of the source documents, how do you fact-check the output? What is
needed is a self-updating knowledge base that learns jointly with a
summarization model, keeping track of data provenance. Lucky for us, the
world’s most comprehensive public encyclopedia is tightly coupled with
Wikidata, the world’s most comprehensive public knowledge base. We have
built a system called Quicksilver uses them both.

Thanks Houcemeddine,
I merged most of them. A couple can't be merged because they have different
wikipedia pages in the same language, there's one or two that have
different terminology across external sources, and one that I made an issue
on the disease ontology's github to ask about.
