[Wikidata-l] new features available for testing (ranks, ordering, table of contents and more)
by Lydia Pintscher 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hey everyone! We deployed a bunch of new code to test.wikidata.org for you to test. Based on your feedback for the initial version of quantities I have decided to not release them to wikidata.org next week. We have been working on a good part of the feedback and most fixes are now also live on test.wikidata.org. This means quantities are now scheduled to come to Wikidata in the middle of January. I'm sorry for the delay but your feedback was very valuable. In addition to that we have rolled out a new batch of features to test.wikidata.org for you to test and give feedback on. The first one is ordering. You can now change the order of statements and statement groups. There are still a few usability issues with it that we need to solve but I want to get this out to you now. The second one is ranks. Ranks are there to indicate one or more statements are preferred or deprecated. This is especially useful for things like indicating that someone was the major of a city many years ago. The third one is a table of contents that was developed by Bene*. This should come in handy especially on large items. The forth one is that the data type of a property is now also added to the JSON and API output. And last but not least we've worked on improving performance so things run a bit faster for you. These should go live on wikidata.org on Tuesday next week. So how's that for a Christmas present, people? ;-) Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

[Wikidata-l] Italian Wikipedia complements search results with Wikidata based functionality
by Gerard Meijssen 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hoi, The Italian Wikipedia is the first project where people who use search will find results added from Wikidata. As you may know, Wikidata knows has more items with a label in a language than a Wikipedia has articles. With the Wikidata based functionality people will gain several functionalities that are new to them - a link to Commons categories for a subject - a link to Wikipedia articles in other languages - a link to the Wikidata item - visualisation care of the "Reasonator" When there are multiple items found in the search request, disambiguation will be provided based on the statements available on the items. Obviously as more labels are available in a language for statements, the experience will improve. This is a really exciting new development and I want to thank Magnus and Nemo for making it possible. I hope and expect that many Wikipedias will follow the example of the Italian Wikipedia. Particularly the smaller Wikipedias have much to gain from this new functionality. Thanks, GerardM

[Wikidata-l] Collaboration with scholarly resources?
by Daniel Mietchen 05 Dec '13

05 Dec '13

Dear all, I am exploring options of interaction between Wikidata and scholarly resources. While my focus here is on biodiversity research (and I'd be very happy to hear about your activities along these lines), a more concrete route for collaboration now becomes visible with PubChem, as mentioned at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry#Collabora… . Cheers, Daniel

[Wikidata-l] Update on the Wikidata based search functionality
by Gerard Meijssen 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Hoi, The Polish Wikipedia has implemented the Wikidata based search functionality as well [1]. It is really exciting that a second top 10 Wikipedia in pageviews has adopted this functionality I do not have to remind you that this will stimulate them to add statements and labels to improve the provided disambiguation. It is beyond my wildest dreams that two such diverse big communities have taken this path. For optimal results I would like Chinese, Russian and Arabic adoption as well. Then again this party will not be complete when the functionality is not adopted by any and all Wikipedias. Thanks, GerardM [1] http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2013/12/wyniki-wyszukiwania-w-wikidata.h…

[Wikidata-l] Fwd: [Commons-l] Please join the Wikimaps design & developer meeting!
by Gerard Meijssen 01 Dec '13

01 Dec '13

Hoi, I received this in my mail. I think that many opportunities in combination with maps can have maybe even should have a Wikidata dimension. The three things that Wikidata has to offer are: - support for multiple languages - support for geo locations - support for dates of events The maps of battle fields in the USA is a Wikidata best practice, the map that is being compiled with railway stations is another.. Another important reason why Wikidata and Commons could / should cooperate is because in six months time (hopefully) the Wikidata team will start working on integrating Wikidata technology in Commons. At that time good cooperation will become even more relevant. So, I think Wikidata may have a place in the coming talks, deliberations and, that is why I forward this mail to the WD list.

Hi Alex, must the bot be written in python? There are also frameworks written in other languages which I would prefer. Best regards, Bene

[Wikidata-l] Need help of Python developers
by Alex Peek 30 Nov '13

30 Nov '13

We are looking for a python developer to create bots for uploading economic statistics into Wikidata. Economic data is usually from non-controversial sources such as the World Bank, IMF and other government sources. Statistics include GDP, GDP by industry, employment by industry, government budgets, inflation, etc. The python developer who builds the bots will be paid as part of this newly proposed IEG: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Global_Economic_Map If you have the python skill and want to be apart of this project, you can just send me a message here. Thanks in advance for your help, Alex
