Hi,
I'm looking into ways to use tabular data like
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:Zika-institutions-test.tab
in SPARQL queries but could not find anything on that.
My motivation here is in part coming from the time out limits, and the
basic idea here would be to split queries that typically time out into
sets of queries that do not time out and - if their results were
aggregated - would yield the results that would be expected for the
original query would it not time out.
The second line of motivation here is that of keeping track of how
things develop over time, which would be interesting for both content
and maintenance queries as well as usage of things like classes,
references, lexemes or properties.
I would appreciate any pointers or thoughts on the matter.
Thanks,
Daniel
Hi, I would like to implement a new property type for my project. Are there
any examples of extensions that add new prop types to wikibase?
I already implemented most of what I need by changing wikibase code, but I
doubt a property to store multiline code snippets will be accepted into
wikibase at this stage, so it has to be done as an extension. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
Note that I had to change two repos:

Hello all,
The Wikidata development team is currently doing some research to
understand better how people access and reuse Wikidata’s data from the code
of their applications and tools (for example through APIs), and how we can
improve the tools to make your workflows easier.
We are running a short survey to gather more information from people who
build tools based on Wikidata’s data. If you would like to participate,
please use this link
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfJ-I_Ib2EOuRVG4XfeUazhXTvgKsjcKhA…>
(Google Forms, estimated fill-in time 5min). If you don’t want to use
Google Forms, you can also send me a private email with your answers. We
would love to get as many answers as possible before June 9th.
The data will be anonymously collected and will only be shared in an
aggregated form.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly.
Cheers,

Dear all, the WikiCite 2019-20 annual report is now published!
It features our 'Satellite event' grant recipients, description of the
necessary adaptations due to COVID-19, and summary of WikiCite-related news
from across the movement:
*https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/55/WikiCite_2019-2020.pdf
<https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/55/WikiCite_2019-2020.pdf>*
Obviously, nearly all of the approved grants for the first half of 2020 had
to be cancelled, postponed, or radically altered from their original design
due to the impact of restrictions on in-person events. You can learn all
about the diverse and interesting projects which were *intended *to happen
all around the world, and what they are going to be doing instead, in this
report.
More details about the WikiCite 'satellite events' grant program and its
administration at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite/administration.
I'd like to thank the volunteering steering committee, all the grant
applicants, my colleagues, and our funding partner the *Sloan Foundation*,
for the incredible flexibility and understanding that everyone has shown
during this period of rapidly changing information. It has not been easy
for our grant recipients to be receiving updates with new rules about what
is and isn't allowed, in the midst of trying to plan their events. Equally,
for the committee to have worked so hard to conscientiously prepare the
call for proposals and then review all the applications, only to have
circumstances overtake us. I appreciate the understanding and collegiate
way everyone involved in this process has worked together.
Sincerely,
– Liam Wyatt
p.s. The steering committee, myself, and colleagues, are now – just like
many organisations around the world – in the midst of discussing how to
best continue the program through the 2020-21 WMF-financial year in the
light of the ongoing disruptions to in-person events caused by COVID-19. We
will be sharing more news about this when we can.
