WDQS Scaling update
by Guillaume Lederrey 17 Apr '24

17 Apr '24

Hello all! We’ve been moving forward on the WDQS Graph Split [1], time for an update! We have new documentation to help the migration to the split graph: * Federation limits [2]: Explanation of the limitations of the SPARQL federation as used on the graph split. This might help you understand what is possible and what isn’t when you need to federate the main WDQS graph with the scholarly subgraph. * Federated queries examples [3]: This document explains how to rewrite queries to use SPARQL federation over the split graph. We’ve taken a number of real life examples, and we’ve rewritten them to use federation. While rewriting queries is not always trivial, the examples that we tried are all possible to make work over a split graph. We have been reaching out to people who will be impacted by the graph split. In particular, we have been having conversations with community members close to the Scholia and Wikicite projects. In that context, we are realizing that our initial split proposal (moving all instances of Scholarly articles to a separate graph - ?entity wdt:P31 wd:Q13442814) is not sufficient. We have prepared a second and last proposal that will refine this split to make it easier to use. See "WDQS Split Refinement" [4] for details. We are open for feedback until May 15th 2024, please send it to the related talk page [5]. While we refine this split, we are starting work on the implementation of the missing pieces to make the graph split available. This includes modifying the update pipeline to support the split and better automation of the data loading process. We are also working on a migration plan, which we will communicate as soon as it is ready. Our current assumption is that we will leave ~6 months for the migration once the split services are available before shutting down the full graph endpoint. We need your help more than ever! If you have use cases that need access to scholarly articles, please read "Federation Limits" [2] and "Federated Queries Examples" [3], rewrite and test your queries, and add your working examples to "Federated Queries Examples" [3]. Send your general feedback to the project page [1]. On a side note, WDQS isn’t the only SPARQL endpoint exposing the Wikidata graph. You can have a look at "Alternative endpoints" [6], which lists a number of alternatives not hosted by WMF, which might be helpful during the transition. Thanks!

Open Call for Software Contributions
by Maria Lechner 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

Dear Wikidata Community, Wikidata is a treasure trove of data — data we would love to be brought to light and used for the benefit of the Wikimedia community and beyond! In order to support that, Wikimedia Deutschland is excited to announce the launch of a Call for Software Contributions <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Software_Collaboration_for_Wikidata/Open_Ca…> as part of the Software Collaboration for Wikidata program <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Software_Collaboration_for_Wikidata>, funded by the Arcadia Fund <https://www.arcadiafund.org.uk/>. The Software Collaboration for Wikidata program fosters collaboration with the purpose of enabling partners from within the Wikimedia Movement to contribute to the software development of Wikidata and Wikibase in a sustainable and scalable way. With this program Wikimedia Deutschland wants to explore ways to create a distributed software development environment within the Wikimedia Movement. We believe that software is best built by the communities in which the needs for digital tools arise. About the Call: This Call for Software Contributions aims to promote collaboration within the Wikimedia Movement by inviting affiliates to develop software solutions leveraging the power of the Wikidata Rest API <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:REST_API>. Through this, Wikimedia Deutschland supports advancing the capabilities of the Wikidata Rest API to enable the creation of applications (anything from mobile apps to desktop apps to websites or services) that provide value not only to the Wikimedia community but also to broader audiences. With this call, Wikimedia Deutschland aims to support projects that make Wikidata's data more accessible and usable for a wider audience. Application deadline is April 21th, 23:59 (GMT+1) (check local time <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1713735900>). Learn more about this Call on our project page on meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Software_Collaboration_for_Wikidata/Open_Ca…> . We look forward to receiving your exciting project proposals and collaborating with you to advance the capabilities of Wikidata. If you have any comments, suggestions or questions please use the call’s talk page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ASoftware_Collaboration_…> to get in contact with us. Sincerely, Maria Lechner

Whether you're a beginner taking your first steps, an individual in need of a refresher on Wikidata concepts, or a seasoned trainer looking to level up your skills - this course is right for you. Participants will gain insights into how Wikidata works, its rules, its vibrant community, and how to contribute effectively. 📚 Course Structure - Chapter 1: The Wikimedia movement and creation of Wikidata - Chapter 2: Understanding Knowledge graphs and Queries - Chapter 3: Discovering Wikidata, open data, and the semantic web - Chapter 4: Contributing to Wikidata, the Community, and Data Quality - Chapter 5: Bonus Resources on Scientific Bibliography from Wikidata ⏰ Course Schedule This program will be offered in iterations, the first of which will start on April 22 and last for 5 weeks. Be sure to register before that. Subsequent iterations will be scheduled later, so don't worry if you're not able to take this one.
