Dear all,
I asked myself a series of questions about the links between Wikidata and other knowledge/data bases, namely those of OCLC and DBpedia. For example:
- Why Wikidata has no property "
Worldcat
Identities" while the English edition of Wikipedia systematically mentions this identity (when it exists) in its section "Autorithy control" ?
- Why do VIAF links to all editions of Wikipedia, but not (simply) to Wikidata ?
-
Why is there no link to DBpedia when the opposite is true ?
These questions may seem very different from each other, but they ultimately concern a common subject and are all very basic. I suspect they had to be discussed somewhere, maybe at the dawn of Wikidata. However, I find nothing in the archives of this Newsletter,
nor in the discussions on Wikidata.
Could someone point me to some documentation on these issues ?
Cheers,
Ettore Rizza
