May be someone can phone these people in Geneva and ask wether wikidata could at least base its ontology on the ISO Standard. (eventually by purchasing this right) phone number: http://www.iso.org/iso/copyright.htm in that way one would eventually not use their explicit texts and formats but could use at least their structural outline ? Allthough it would of course be better if the formats would be in accordance. The ISO funds itself with selling standards. May be some rich sponsor could buy their RDF classification and make it openly accessible? Whats the ISO opinion on that did someone check? Commercial publishing and open access need not be automatically exclusive i.e. here one could eventually pay for an open access publication in order to prevent the ruin of the ISO. by the way, whats MWF (mediawikifoundation?) and thanks to Fabian Suchanek for the explanations at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.wikidata/331

Hello, is it usual, that some E-Mail-Addresses cannot be verificated for the WikiData test pages? I recently tried again to get access did not succeed. No verification mail was sent to me. Marco

[Wikidata-l] Persondata
by Jonathan Groß 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

At Lydia's presentation in Cologne I talked about using persondata for Wikidata. I guess I'm not the first & only one to think about that, but since I'm new to the list, I thought I should share my opinion with you. In Wikipedia (as well as in the German Wikisource, for one) there are two uses of standardized data affiliated with persons which should be implemented in Wikidata: 1) Persondata http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Personendaten is implemented in a lot of Wikipedias and also widely used (first by the German Wikipedia, then others followed). The template features Name, Alternative Name(s), Short Description (like "Dutch Politician"), Date of Birth, Place of Birth, Date of Death, Place of Death. Somebody should write some code to have this information drawn to Wikidata. Ask APPER ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:APPER), he's an expert on this. 2) Authority Control or "Normdaten" ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Normdaten): Wikipedia is listing Authority Control Numbers from a variety of institutions. This is most widely used on persons, but there are also corporations, events, and so on. Again, this is implemented and used in a lot of Wikipedias but most widely at the German Wikipedia. Since April 2012, it features the type of data (p = Person, k = Corporation, v = Event, etc.) and some authority control numbers, most common GND (Gemeinsame Normdatei) but also LCCN (Library of Congress Control Number), NDL (Web NDL Authorities), and VIAF (Virtual International Authority File). Since 2006, the German Wikipedia cooperates with the German National Library which is working on the GND. Wikipedia has a page where users can report errors in the GND so that the library employees can correct them (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:PND/F). Unfortunately, I'm no programmer and I cannot help with drawing this pile of data to Wikidata. But I think the Wikidata staff should put this item on their agenda. Yours, Jonathan

Currently it is just a json construct that readers probably won't find very useful. It is not wiki text like you're used to. If there is a specific reason why you want to see it I'd be interested in hearing it so we can take it into account.

Anyone knows why Wikimedia's mailman seems to eat so many emails?) > Hi, > > it would be nice to have a view source tab on the demo page for a short > intro look. > Installing from Git seems to be a mutch bigger effort. > > c u stevie Do you mean the source code of the website or the wikitext of an article in the demo?
