[Wikidata-l] next IRC office hour for Wikidata
by Lydia Pintscher 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

Hey folks :) I'll be doing an office hour on IRC for all things Wikidata. It'll be on December 3rd at 18:00 UTC. We'll be meeting in #wikimedia-office on freenode. Hope to see many of you there!

[Wikidata-l] Loan words data model
by Edward Betts 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

Bairro (Q16837104) has the English description: "a Portuguese word that refers to a community or region within a city or municipality". It is a subclass of neighbourhood (Q123705). There are many neighbourhoods in Brazil with the 'instance of' property set to bairro (Q16837104), for example: Gamboa (Q3757943), Riachuelo (Q3934201) and Noal (Q10337174). Q16837104 includes sitelinks to enwiki and trwiki, but not to ptwiki. There is a Bairro article on Portuguese Wikipedia, represented by the Wikidata item neighbourhood (Q123705). It would be useful if bairro (Q16837104) could include a sitelink to the bairro article in Portuguese Wikipedia, but this is forbidden because it is already linked to from another item. In English Wikipedia we have articles describing two concepts, neighbourhood and bairro, but in Portuguese Wikipedia there is only a single article for the concept of neighbourhood. There is another item, barrio (Q1761572), for the Spanish variant of this word. It would be useful if we could add a way to represent loan words in Wikidata. Then we can add a statement that says Bairro (Q16837104) is a loan word of neighbourhood (Q123705) in Portuguese. -- Edward.

[Wikidata-l] statements on properties are live (+deletion propagation)
by Lydia Pintscher 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

Hey folks :) We just enabled statements on properties. You can for example use this to: * describe mappings to other projects' vocabularies * indicate constraints for the usage of this property (currently stored in templates on the talk page of the property) * store information about where this property is used in other projects to make sure they can be notified when major changes are made to how the property is used * provide links to extensive documentation about and showcases for the usage of this property * store patterns for how an identifier should be expanded to form a proper URL * ... Some notes: * You can't yet make statements linking to other properties to for example indicate that property X is the inverse of property Y. We are adding a new datatype for that. It'll come soon. The ticket for that is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75302 * Constraint violation reports currently don't take these statements into account. They will continue to use the templates on the property's talk page. A team of students is currently working on overhauling the whole constraint system. It'll take them a while still though. Unrelated but also important for you to know: If a page is deleted on Wikipedia/Commons/... that has a sitelink in an item on Wikidata that link will be removed automatically now.

[Wikidata-l] sneak peek time - checking against 3rd party databases
by Lydia Pintscher 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Hey folks :) The student team working on data quality and trust is hard at work and just showed me a first demo. I wanted to share that with you as well. One part of the team is working on checking Wikidata's data against other databases. Attached is a screenshot of their first demo showing checking of our data against MusicBrainz. In the end this will be nicely integrated on Wikidata as part of the constraint violation reports probably. This is already working way better than I expected it ever would. So heads off to the students. I'm sure they'll kick ass over the next months. Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

[Wikidata-l] Data access for Commons enabled + reminder for statements on properties
by Lydia Pintscher 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Hey folks :) As announced the week before last we just enabled data access for Commons. This does not yet include access to information from arbitrary items but only the item that is directly connected to the page using the data via a sitelink. Please help with polishing the relevant pages https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikidata and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikimedia_Commons. What will come later: arbitrary access (in January/February) and storing meta data about individual files (part of the ongoing work on the structured data on Commons project) Tomorrow we will enable statements on properties so you can store mappings to other database vocabularies for example.

[Wikidata-l] statements on properties and first language fallbacks are coming
by Lydia Pintscher 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hey folks :) Good news before the end of the year! * You can go to test.wikidata.org right now and test out statements on properties. If everything goes well we will make it available on Wikidata in 1 week. One thing that is missing is a new datatype to link to other properties to indicate things like "property x is the inverse of property y". That will come a bit later. Discussion about proposed properties to be used on properties is happening at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Property_metadata * Language fallbacks are coming. This is a first version. It'll only show fallbacks of linked entities on an item. So if you are viewing an item with a statement linking to another item you will see a label in another language for this linked item if it doesn't have a label in your language. Fallbacks are currently implemented to follow the fallback for system messages. Unfortunately you can't try that out on test.wikidata.org yet. That'll hopefully happen next week. It should go live on Wikidata in two weeks. Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

[Wikidata-l] SAVE-SD 2015 First Call for Papers
by savesd.workshop＠gmail.com 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

** apologies for cross-posting ** ==== First Call for Papers ==== 2015 Workshop on Semantics, Analytics, Visualisation: Enhancing Scholarly Data (SAVE-SD 2015) Date: May 19, 2015 (Half day) Venue: Florence, Italy (co-located with WWW 2015) Hashtag: #savesd2015 Twitter: @savesdworkshop Site: http://cs.unibo.it/save-sd/2015/index.html Workshop chairs: - Francesco Osborne (Open University, UK) - Silvio Peroni (University of Bologna, Italy, and National Research Council, Italy) - Jun Zhao (Lancaster University, UK) # DESCRIPTION The main goal of the SAVE-SD workshop is to bring together publishers, companies and researchers from different fields (among which Document and Knowledge Engineering, Semantic Web, Natural Language Processing, Scholarly Communication, Bibliometrics, and Human-Computer Interaction) in order to bridge the gap between the theoretical/academic and practical/industrial aspects in regards to scholarly data. The following fields will be addressed: - semantics of scholarly data, i.e. how to semantically represent, categorise, connect and integrate scholarly data, in order to foster reusability and knowledge sharing; - analytics on scholarly data, i.e. designing and implementing novel and scalable algorithms for knowledge extraction with the aim of understanding research dynamics, forecasting research trends, fostering connections between groups of researchers, informing research policies, analysing and interlinking experiments and deriving new knowledge; - visualisation of and interaction with scholarly data, i.e. providing novel user interfaces and applications for navigating and making sense of scholarly data and highlighting their patterns and peculiarities. # TOPICS OF INTEREST We would encourage submission of papers covering one or more of the following topics: Semantics: - Data models (e.g., ontologies, vocabularies, schemas) for the description of scholarly data and the linking between scholarly data and academic papers that report or cite them - Description of citations and citation networks - Theoretical models describing the rhetorical and argumentative structure of scholarly papers and their application in practice - Description and use of provenance information of scholarly data - From digital libraries of scholarly papers to Linked Open Datasets: models, applicability and challenges - Definition and description of scholarly publishing processes - Modelling licences for scholarly documents and data Analytics: - Assessing the quality and/or trust of scholarly data - Pattern discovery of scholarly data - Citation analysis and prediction - Scientific claims identification from textual contents - New indicators for measuring the quality and relevance of research - Comparison between standard metrics (e.g., h-index, impact factor, citation counting) and alternative metrics in real-case scenarios - Automatic or semi-automatic approaches to making sense of research dynamics - Content- and data-based semantic similarity of scholarly papers - Citation generation - Automatic semantic enhancement of existing scholarly libraries and papers - Reconstruction, forecasting and monitoring of scholarly data Visualisation and Interaction: - Novel user interfaces for interaction with paper, metadata, content, and data - Visualisation of citation networks according to multiple dimensions (e.g., citation counting, citation functions, kinds of citing/cited entities) - Visualisation of related papers or data according to multiple dimensions (semantic similarity of abstracts, keywords, etc.) - Applications for making sense of scholarly data - Usability studies on existing interfaces (e.g., Web sites, Web applications, smartphone apps) for browsing scholarly data - Scholarly data and ubiquity: accessing scholarly information from multiple devices (PC, tablet, smartphones) - Applications for the (semi-)automatic annotation of scholarly papers # IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline: January 24, 2015 (23:59 Hawaii Standard Time) - Acceptance notification: February 22, 2015 - Camera ready deadline: March 8, 2015 # SUBMISSIONS SAVE-SD welcomes the submission of original research and application papers dealing with the tree aforementioned field. We encourage theoretical, methodological, empirical and applications papers. We appreciate the submission of papers incorporating links to data sets and other material used for evaluation as well as to live demos and software source code. All submissions must be written in English. Two formats are possible for the submission: - PDF, a file formatted according to the ACM double-column instructions (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates); - HTML, a zip archive containing an HTML file compliant with the Research Articles in Simplified HTML (RASH) format (http://cs.unibo.it/save-sd/rash/rash.rng). We invite four kinds of submissions: - full research papers (max. 6 pp. in PDF or 5400 words in HTML) - position papers (max. 4 pp. in PDF or 3600 words in HTML) - demo papers (max. 2 pp. in PDF or 1800 words in HTML) - poster papers (max. 2 pp. in PDF or 1800 words in HTML) All the aforementioned limits include metadata (title, authors, keywords, ACM categories, abstract), acknowledgements, references and the whole content of the paper. In the HTML format, figures and tables count 300 words each. Submissions and reviewing will be supported by the EasyChair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=savesd2015 # EVALUATION OF SUBMISSIONS In order to evaluate the submitted papers, we have three different program committees: - The Senior PC, whose members will act as meta-reviewers and have the crucial role of balancing the scores provided by the reviews from the other two PCs (see below); - The Industrial PC, who will evaluate the submissions from an industrial perspective mainly – by assessing how much the theories/applications described in the papers do/may influence (positively or negatively) the publishing domain and whether they could be concretely adopted by publishers and scholarly data providers; - The Academic PC, who will evaluate the papers from an academic perspective mainly – by assessing the quality of the research described in such papers. All submissions will be reviewed by (at least) one Senior PC member, one Industrial PC member and two Academic PC members. The final decision of acceptance/rejection will be made in consensus by the chairs. # PUBLICATION VENUES The proceedings of SAVE-SD will be collected in the Companion volume of the WWW 2015 conference, which will be published by ACM in its digital library. The WWW 2015 organisers will require at least one registration per paper published in the Companion volume. At the time of submission of the final camera-ready copy, authors will have to indicate the already registered person for that publication. In addition, the authors of the best papers of the workshop will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to a special issue that will be published as part of the Journal of Documentation (http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journal/jd), one of the longest established academic journals in library and information science (2013 Impact Factor: 1.035; indexed in several citation services, among which Elsevier's Scopus and Thomson Reuters' Journal Citation Reports).
