Hi GerardM,
about “importing from sources”: To be on the save site regarding data licenses and usage, for now we just want to compare existing data in Wikidata instead of importing additional data. But we have thought about a list of additional information in the report, so it can be added manually.
About “changes in the sources”: The plan is to update the data dumps regularly associated with running the cross-check on the latest data.
About imported data from Widar or bots: So far as we understand it, it does not really affect those processes. The cross-check is performed on all verifiable properties (that map to the information of an external source) of verifiable items (that possess an external identifier to an implemented external source), regardless of how these items were created.
Cheers,
the Wikidata Quality Team
GerardMThanks,Hoi,One thought, the majority of statements are not made at Wikidata but are done using Widar or a bot. How will this affect these processes ?_______________________________________________On 20 February 2015 at 12:44, Gerard Meijssen <gerard.meijssen@gmail.com> wrote:GerardMThanks,Hoi,I like where you are going a lot... GND is given as an example and for any source including the GND we know things can be wrong as well. They regularly are and there is a process in place for indicating where GND and WP-DE differ. This works well because in time the GND does look and remedy or comments. So when a source differs, we need a report. Such a report is GOLD. Because it enables us to verify what is right and what differs. The people who care so much about sources will have a field day with this BECAUSE it is actually worthwhile to spend time on such differences.When GND has data and Wikidata does not, we should import from sources. I prefer data over no data any day. Particularly when we strive to have comparisons between multiple sources.. Nonsense will weed itself out in this way.What we need is a process of reconciliation of what is there in the first place, where sources differ and how we deal with eventual changes in the sources (they do include the various Wikipedias, Wikisources, Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wikitravels..)On 20 February 2015 at 11:40, Lydia Pintscher <lydia.pintscher@wikimedia.de> wrote:Hey folks :)
The students team working on data quality is making good progress. For
some reason their emails don't go through to this list so I am sending
it for them below.
Cheers

Hey :)
We are a team of students from Hasso-Plattner-Institute in Potsdam,
Germany. For our bachelor project we're working together with the team
of Wikidata to ensure their data quality.
On our wiki page (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WikidataQuality) we
introduce our projects in more detail.
One of them deals with constraints, for which we need your input since
we want to work on constraints as statements on properties and the
final form of those still needs to be specified.
So far, we hope you like our projects and we appreciate your input!
Cheers,
the Wikidata Quality Team
