[Wikidata-l] qLabel
by Denny Vrandečić 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

I just published qLabel, an Open Source jQuery plugin that allows to annotate HTML elements with Wikidata Q-IDs (or Freebase IDs, or, technically, with any other Semantic Web / Linked Data URI), and then grabs the labels and displays them in the selected language of the user. Put differently, it allows for the easy creation of multilingual structured websites. And it is one more way in which Wikidata data can be used, by anyone. Contributors and users are more than welcome! < http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2014/04/qlabel-multilingual-content-w… >

[Wikidata-l] 2 years of Wikidata development \o/
by Lydia Pintscher 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hey folks :) 2 years ago today we started development on Wikidata. It's been an amazing ride. Thanks to everyone of you for being a part of it and making this the great project it is. I wanted to share a real cake with all of you but technology failed me. Here's a picture of the yummy cake we had here in the office though: https://twitter.com/wikidata/status/451407996132659200/photo/1 ;-) Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

Re: [Wikidata-l] [Wikitech-l] Reducing the number of GeoData coordinates stored
by Gerard Meijssen 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hoi Max, Is it possible to compare your index with the items in Wikidata. There are several things that I would like to do * add all coordinates to Wikidata items * report on all coordinates where what you know differs from Wikidata A next obvious question is how can we keep the two data sets in sync..

[Wikidata-l] Wikidata submissions to Wikimania
by Markus Krötzsch 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Dear all, There are quite a few Wikidata-related submissions to Wikimania [0]. The selection of the program committee seems to be based on user votes to some extent, so don't forget to add your name to the submission pages you care about :-). I just added another two: * "How to use Wikidata: Things to make and do with 30 million statements" [1] A general introductory talk about Wikidata data reuse in all of its forms. * "Wikidata Toolkit: A Java library for working with Wikidata" [2] A tutorial for working with Wikidata Toolkit (expected to be much more feature rich at the time of Wikimania ;-) Feedback is welcome. Cheers, Markus [0] https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Submissions [1] https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/How_to_use_Wikidata:_T… [2] https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Wikidata_Toolkit:_A_Ja…

[Wikidata-l] A proposal for a panel that might interest you
by Luca Martinelli 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Hi there, I'm sorry - I really, properly am - for this spamming, but it's also something that might interest the Wikidata developing team. I and a couple of other users (if selected) are going to hold a presentation at Wikimania 2014 about a project conducted by Wikimedia Italy and the Europeana network of Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy (EAGLE). The full description is here: https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/W%28iki%29B%28ase%29_l… TL;DR: Wikimedia Italy and EAGLE are using Wikibase extensions for building up a database about Ancient Greek and Latin epigraphy, getting the data from various universities and institutions... and the thing is working! :) Of course, those data are in CC0, and there are also plans to donate those data to Wikimedia community when the Commons-Wikidata integration will be completed. This should also be the first project outside the WMF perimeter to use Wikibase for such a project (GerardM, please correct me if I'm wrong). If you're interested in it, you might want to take a peek at it. :) Sorry again for spamming! Cheers, -- Luca "Sannita" Martinelli http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:Sannita

We’ll start concentrating on other areas of the user interface now. - Fixed faulty selection handling when adding a property using the keyboard (bugzilla:62868<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62868> ) - Worked on fixing issues with handling of spaces in quantities ( bugzilla:62567 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62567>) - Fixed miscount of Wikidata changes on the client watchlist ( bugzilla:45812 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45812>) - Wrote new browser tests for special pages using the Cucumber and Selenium frameworks - Improved error formatting, localisation and handling. We will work on error message wording next to make them more understandable. - Worked on the code which propagates page moves from the clients into Wikidata as a preparation for allowing page deletions to appear on Wikidata - Made the Wikibase extension work with the new “Compact language links” Beta feature and a bit more independent from the UniversalLanguageSelector in general - The student team working on the entity suggester has finished the first version of it. The code is being reviewed now and is hopefully ready for deployment soon. Once it is deployed it will show you what new properties you could add to an item. See current sprint items<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=218716&resolution=---&re…> for what we’re working on next.

[Wikidata-l] Pubsubhubbub
by Sebastian Hellmann 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Hi all, some weeks ago Anja asked me to send an email to this list with requirements from DBpedia regarding the Pubsubhubbub feed. We are really happy that finally somebody started working on this. The main thing DBpedia needs is the software to create an up-to-date mirror of each language version of Wikipedia . All other requirements can be deduced from this one.it would be bad for us, If this is out of scope or not working correctly at the end of the project. All the best, Sebastian -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
