Hi David,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.  I don't really want to launch a specific request for property, but rather to point out that your tool - if successful - will provide a great avenue to expose all kinds of interesting knowledge that will require many more properties than I could think of..  Just one quick example.  Browsing this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdsourcing , I noticed the following interesting little tidbit of knowledge: "Domino's Pizza, Coca Cola, Heineken and Sam Adams have thus crowdsourced a new pizza, bottle design, beer or song, respectively".  I wanted to add statements such as "Domino's Pizza --- crowdsourced -- pizza design".

Obviously not the most important statement in the world, but a collection of many statements like that would give a picture of what the new action of "crowdsourcing" can be used to accomplish and hence might be interesting and useful to some people (at least a few people in the long tail such as myself).  

Again though - the plea here is not for a specific property, but a better/faster mechanism for expanding the property collection and for engaging larger numbers people in creating wikidata.  And I think your tool or its descendant could be a great step in both of those directions.

-Ben

Benjamin, if you could point out which properties you missed maybe we could try to request a couple more at:

Thanks

Thanks for feedback Benjamin, 

I am really looking forward to feedback from Wikidata community.
On the issue of smarter search, I will see what I can do about that, maybe more parameters can be passed to Wikidata API, rest about more properties that is really in Wikidata's hand, current properties are fetched from Wikidata database and showed to the user. I can give option to user to purpose a new property if one doesn't exist.

Thanks a lot.

Very cool project!  It really shows some great potential for wikidata. In quickly playing with it I found it difficult to find properties that matched my intention most of the time.  I think this is not the fault of the tool but an indication of an area where wikidata could be improved (e.g. property hierarchies, perhaps smarter property search, basically a lot more properties in general..).  Perhaps the tool could be extended to support property suggestions?

great GSOC project

Hi all,

Aman finished his GSOC of this year with a tool for annotating web pages and pushing the annotations to Wikidata:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_annotation_tool/project_completion_report

It uses the Pund.it as basis:
https://thepund.it/

I hope you can give it a try and give him some feedback.

Cheers,
Micru
