Hoi,
The tooling that Magnus has developed is gaining in maturity. It now has
the functionality to enrich and visualise the data in Wikidata from the
content of categories and lists in Wikipedias.
It is possible to make sure that the subjects of *YOUR* project includes
all the statements implied by categories. Adding statements to Wikidata
items in this way is something that you can iterate over the many
Wikipedias (the content of the categories is different in the many
languages).
Reasonator, the tool that makes information from the Wikidata data, is now
able to show the content of that list in near real time. Such a list makes
it exceedingly easy to add labels in *YOUR* language; it only takes a
click, writing the label and one more click.
Obviously, you will develop *YOUR* project and consequently Wikidata will
be biased towards your data. The alternative worse; it is not having data.
I have been adding information to Wikidata in this way and frankly it is
really compelling to add this category or that category as well and
consider consequences.
What I am curious about is:
- what you would like to see for your project.
- how this works when many people work together in this way on Wikidata
- how this translates to other Wikimedia projects.
Thanks,
GerardM
