Hi Magnus,
Mix'n'match looks great and I do have a few questions about it. I'd like
to use it to import a dataset, which looks like this (these are the 100
first lines):
<http://pintoch.ulminfo.fr/34f8c4cf8a/aligned_institutions.txt>
I see how to import it in Mix'n'match, but given all the columns I have
in this dataset, I think that it is a bit sad to resort to matching on
the name only.
Do you see any way to do some fuzzy-matching on, say, the URLs provided
in the dataset against the "official website" property? I think that it
would be possible with the (proposed) Wikidata interface for OpenRefine
(if I understand the UI correctly).
In this context, I think it might even be possible to confirm matches
automatically (when the matches are excellent on multiple columns). As
the dataset is rather large (400,000 lines) I would not really want to
validate them one after the other with the web interface. So I would
need a sort of batch edit. How would you do that?
Finally, once matches are found, it would be great if statements
corresponding to the various columns could be created in the items (if
these statements don't already exist). With the appropriate reference to
the dataset, ideally.
I realise this is a lot to ask - maybe I should just write a bot.
Alina, sorry to hijack your thread. I hope my questions were general
enough to be interesting for other readers.
Cheers,
Antonin

If you want to match your list to Wikidata, to

You can upload your names and identifiers at

There are several mechanisms in place to help with the matching. Please
contact me if you need help!

Alina, I just found your bug report, which you filed under the wrong
issue tracker. The git repo (source code, issue tracker etc.) are
here:
https://bitbucket.org/magnusmanske/reconcile
<https://bitbucket.org/magnusmanske/reconcile>
The report says it "keeps hanging", which is so vague that it's
impossible to debug, especially since the example linked on
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-reconcile/
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-reconcile/>
works perfectly fine for me.
Does it not work at all for you? Does it work for a time, but then
stops? Does it "break" reproducibly on specific queries, or at
random? Maybe it breaks for specific "types" only? At what rate are
you hitting the tool? Do you have an example query, preferably one
that breaks?
Please note that this is not an "official" WMF service, only parts
of the API are implemented, and there are currently other technical
limitations on it.
Cheers,
Magnus

Hi,
I'm also very interested in this. How did you configure your
OpenRefine
to use Wikidata? (Even if it does not currently work, I am
interested in
the setup.)
There is currently an open issue (with a nice bounty) to improve
the
integration of Wikidata in OpenRefine:
https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/issues/805

Best regards,
