Zdałem dziś pytanie podczas dyżuru zespołu Wikidata:
17:06 < Lydia_WMDE> ok last question i have then: [18:57:57] <saper> My question: Suppose I have a pretty good, normalized SQL database like registry of monuments in my country (http://wikilubizabytki.centrumcyfrowe.pl/) or good database of species. All are already imported into MySQL tables. Can I use wikidata to refer to those data sets on my own MediaWiki installation? How would that done? If so, could similar process be applied to WMF wikis? 17:08 < Denny_WMDE1> saper: now to your question 17:08 < Daniel_WMDE_> Lydia_WMDE: in reply to saper: no, that'S not what wikidata is for. use the DataTransclusion extension instead. 17:08 < Denny_WMDE1> i would have phrased it differently, but as Daniel_WMDE_ says :) 17:09 < Lydia_WMDE> ok that is all the questions i have and we have about 20 minutes left 17:09 < Lydia_WMDE> any more questions or things to doscuss? 17:09 < Denny_WMDE1> saper: follow up questions? 17:09 < Lydia_WMDE> how did you like the demo system so far? 17:09 < Denny_WMDE1> saper: my suggestion would be to import the data into Wikidata, and then use it directly from there. 17:09 < Daniel_WMDE_> Lydia_WMDE re saper: the main reason being that wikidata has a very specific and complex data model. superimposing this on a "normal" relational database would be a pain and quite useless 17:10 < Daniel_WMDE_> Denny_WMDE1: but "bulk imports are problematic" :) 17:10 < Lydia_WMDE> ;-) 17:10 < Denny_WMDE1> exactly 17:10 < Daniel_WMDE_> also, wikidata's features are pretty useless for single-source simple-value bulk data 17:10 < Denny_WMDE1> but less problematic than having an external data table that we use instead :) 17:10 < Daniel_WMDE_> it just makes things complex and slow 17:10 < Denny_WMDE1> true 17:11 < Denny_WMDE1> we have history, references, qualifiers, etc. 17:11 < Daniel_WMDE_> if you have data that fites the relational model nicely, wikidata is probably not the best way to manage it :)( 17:11 < Denny_WMDE1> most of which are probably not available in the data table that one might already have 17:11 < Denny_WMDE1> good point :) 17:12 < Denny_WMDE1> i have the feeling we are making people very unhappy with our answers today
