Welcome to Wikidata! I am very much looking forward to see the results of your work. The demo looks very promising and the results are already so much better than what we currently have. And also the answers are very fast, which is promising.

Awesome work, and welcome!

Hi,

 

first of all we would like to introduce ourselves.

We are students from the wikidata.lib bachelor project at the chair of Prof. Dr. Naumann "Information Systems". We will work on Wikidata from October 2013 until June 2014. Our mentor is Anja Jentzsch. Every member is a student of the Hasso-Plattner-Institute in their fifth semester of Bachelor.

 

We aim to provide an extension for wikidata, that simplifies adding statements by suggesting properties which fit to the item.

BugZilla Ticket we relate to: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46555

Our Project Documentation: https://github.com/Wikidata-lib/Wikidata.lib/wiki/Intelligent-Forms

 

Status:

At the moment we have API functionality to return property suggestions ranked by correlation with an item or a set of property ids. You can try it out yourself here:

http://suggester.wmflabs.org/wiki/index.php/Spezial:PropertySuggester

Alternatively you can use the underlying api module "wbsgetsuggestions"

 

The next step will be to integrate that functionality with the entityselector input field when adding statements to some item. 

 

We are looking forward to your feedback and ideas.

 

Moritz, Christian, Virginia, Felix
