[Wikidata-l] claims Datatypes inconsistency suspicion
by Hady elsahar 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Hello All , i was looking at WikiData dump , specifically this one : wikidatawiki-20130818-pages-meta-hist-incr.xml.bz2 then i came to this statement 1. { 2. "m":[ 3. "value", 4. 158, 5. "string", 6. "Great Seal of the United States (obverse).svg" 7. ], 8. "q":[ 9. 10. ], 11. "g":"q30$D680D948-C2C1-493F-88AC-E4E2FB3764D2", 12. "rank":1, 13. "refs":[ 14. 15. ] 16. }, the property P158 which is the seal flag image . http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P158 and it's DataType should be "Commons media file" ? not "string" ? i'm not sure if it's always the same way and i don't get it , or the statement data is not consistent with property datatypes? another Question : should i usually rely on the datatypes written in the json dumps or should i build and index of wkidata properties and their datatypes to avoid such situation ? thanks Regards ------------------------------------------------- Hady El-Sahar Research Assistant Center of Informatics Sciences | Nile University<http://nileuniversity.edu.eg/>

[Wikidata-l] Data acccess for Wikivoyage and bugfixes plus testing needed for the URL datatype
by Lydia Pintscher 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Heya folks :) Wikiyovage now has access to the data on Wikidata - meaning they got phase 2. With this the first sister project is fully supported \o/ The next sister projects will follow. More information on this soon. We've also just updated the software here. This brings a number of bug fixes and other improvements. The ones that are probably most important for you: * The copyright warning no longer pops up again when you change your language * There is now a new special page to list items/properties without a description in a given language. Thanks for the patch by Bene*. * The message that pops up when you want to add a link to an item which is already in use in another item has been improved. Thanks for the patch by Nemo bis. * Broken links to set sitelinks for Wikivoyage in the non-JavaScript version have been fixed. ([[bugzilla:51914]], [[bugzilla:52095]]) * The automatic comments for edits have been improved. They are more detailed now. * API: You can now provide custom edit summaries for edits via the API. * API: You can undo a revision via the API. * API: Bot edits via the setclaim API module are now marked as such ([[bugzilla:50933]]). * API: Precision and globe parameters are now required for geocoordinate data. * Starting in a few days a Wikidata edit that shows up in recent changes and watchlist on the client (Wikipedia/Wikivoyage) is going to be marked with a "D". Thanks for the patch by umherirrender. Unfortunately we were not able to put the URL datatype on the test system on time for this deployment. It didn't get enough testing so we couldn't deploy it today with a good concious. We know you're waiting for this but it's better to give it a bit more testing and roll it out in 2 weeks with the next deployment. The URL datatype is now live for real on test.wikidata.org for you to try. Please give it a try and report any bugs you encounter. Please let me know if there are any issues. Oh and one more thing: Abraham, Denny and I sat down for an evening trying to captchure what Wikidata is about in a video. Hope you like it :) http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/File:Wikidata%27s_World.webm Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Community Communications for Technical Projects Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

[Wikidata-l] Open tabular data
by Dario Taraborelli 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

I'd like to hear from the people on this list on a proposal to create a dedicated namespace to host open (tabular) data and make these datasets persistently identifiable, version controlled and easily embeddable into other wikis. While this use case is currently not within the scope of Wikidata (and could potentially live on other Wikimedia wikis, like Meta or Commons), I'd appreciate input from the wikidata community on this draft: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/DataNamespace Some interesting discussion on the talk page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:DataNamespace Dario

[Wikidata-l] LoCloud and Wikimedia
by John Erling Blad 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Have anyone heard about a LoCloud project in Europeana? Its about integration of Wikimedia services and content in a cloud service for local glam institutions. It seems like the project was started officially in March 2013. LoCloud is a cloud service for small and medium sized institutions. It seems like WLM will be part of this through work package 3, and then as a micro service (!) in a larger system based on SaaS. John

[Wikidata-l] URL datatype needs testing
by Lydia Pintscher 25 Aug '13

25 Aug '13

Heya folks :) The URL datatype is now available on test.wikidata.org. It'd be amazing if you could give it some testing. We hope to roll it out on Monday however there are a few things outside our hands that still need review. It might happen that we have to delay it because of that until the next deployment in 2 weeks. Either way some testing would be great and useful. When testing please be aware that URLs are right now not checked against the spam blacklist and that there is an issue with too long URLs.
