[Wikidata] External ID URL format

[David Lowe]

NYPL's Photographers' Identities Catalog (P2750) has a new data view that
would be preferable for use in WD (the IDs are, of course, unchanged).  The
current formatted URL is

http://pic.nypl.org/map/?DisplayName=$1

But I'd rather it point to:

http://pic.nypl.org/constituents/$1

I can't seem to edit it (perhaps because I'm on my phone, or more likely
it's restricted for security purposes). How can we get this switched?
Many thanks in advance!

David

[Wikidata] New satellite event for the Celtic Knot: Wikipedia Language Conference - Booking closes 27 June

[MCANDREW Ewan]

Dear colleagues,

How can technology support language communities?

Join us at the Celtic Knot: Wikipedia Language 
conference taking 
place Thursday 6 July 2017 at the University of Edinburgh Business School to 
find out. Booking closes 27 June so don’t delay!
The main objective for Celtic Knot 2017 is the coming together of those working 
to support Celtic and Indigenous Languages in the same room at same time; 
strengthening the bonds into a 'knot' and leading into action. We welcome 
diverse attendees ranging from Wikimedians, linguists, educators, researchers, 
information professionals, media professionals, translators, learning 
technologists and more coming together to share good practice and find fruitful 
new collaborations to support language communities as a result of the event.

New satellite event: Introduction to Wikidata and the Wikidata Query 
Service
 – this event is now scheduled 11am to 1pm on Tuesday 4 July presented by Léa 
Lacroix (Project Manager Community Communication for Wikidata, Wikimedia 
Deutschland). Léa will also be joining us at the Celtic Knot as part of the 
Wikidata workshop on 6 July too. Just one of the many great 
speakers 
and 
presentations
 at the Celtic Knot:

Keynote speakers

  *   Professor Antonella 
Sorace - 
Professor of Developmental Linguistics at the University of 
Edinburgh and founding director of 
Bilingualism Matters will be speaking 
on ‘Bilingualism in minority languages: a resource and an opportunity’.
  *   Jason 
Evans - 
Wikimedian in Residence at the National Library of 
Wales
 will discuss his strategy for working with Wikimedia UK and the Welsh 
Government to develop the Welsh Wicipedia using a combination of community

Re: [Wikidata] Multilingual and synonym support for M'n'm / was: Mix'n'Match with existing (indirect) mappings

[Neubert, Joachim]

Hi Magnus,

the idea was not to search for all labels/synonyms separately, but to 
concatenate everything in one large search string, and let the fulltext search 
do the magic.

E.g., for STW descriptor “CGE model”, search for “CGE model, CGE-Modell, ORANI 
model, MONASH model, Dynamic CGE model, Computable general equilibrium model, 
CGE analysis, Applied general equilibrium model”

When, as in Fuseki, the fulltext search tries to match every word in the 
string, it may return long lists of results. However: When these can be sorted 
by a score value, they can be limited to the best matching 10 or whatever 
results.

An according example query, which works on a GND endpoint, is here: 
http://zbw.eu/beta/sparql-lab/?endpoint=http://zbw.eu/beta/sparql/gnd/query&queryRef=https://api.github.com/repos/zbw/sparql-queries/contents/gnd/search_subject.rq
 I’m pretty sure, that would work as well on our currently unavailable internal 
WD endpoint on Fuseki. Unfortunately, MWAPI fulltext search seems to work 
differently.

Another pattern, which I have applied with a query which looks up person names 
and their name variants from GND, and then searches in the above mentioned 
custom WD instance, is here: 
https://github.com/zbw/sparql-queries/blob/master/wikidata/search_person_by_gnd_names.rq.

For, e.g., “John H. Dunning” (http://d-nb.info/gnd/119094665) all name variants 
are bound  in a fulltext search expression, and a sum of scores is computed to 
rank the total result 
(http://zbw.eu/beta/sparql-lab/result?resultRef=https://api.github.com/repos/zbw/sparql-queries/contents/wikidata/results/search_person_by_gnd_names.wikidata_2016-11-07.gnd_2016-09.json).

I have experimented a bit, but neither of these patterns seems to work with the 
current MWAPI implementation. Since my understanding is very poor here, and the 
implementation is in an early stage, I cc Stas, who perhaps can contribute 
ideas.

Cheers, Joachim

Hi Magnus, Osma,

I suppose the scenario Osma pointed out is quite common for knowledge 
organization systems and in particular thesauri: Matching could take advantage 
of multilingual labels and also of synonyms, which are defined in the KOS.

For the populating STW Thesaurus for Economics ID (P3911), my preliminary plan 
was to match with all multilingual labels and synonyms as search string in a 
custom WD endpoint (Fuseki, with full text search support), and display in the 
ranked SPARQL results of the search with a column with a valid insert statement 
that can be copied and pasted into QuickStatements2.

Since Stas just announced an extension for WDQS with fulltext search (if I 
haven’t misunderstood his mail of 2017-06-12), it is perhaps now possible to do 
this kind of matching in WDQS.

It would be great if such an extended matching could be integrated into M’n’m.
To clarify, Mix'n'match already searches language-neutral, e.g. for automatch.

Storing multiple labels per entry in the Mix'n'match database, and then 
checking all-against-all, would require some large-scale rewiring.

Re: [Wikidata] Running queries on a schedule / How does Constraint Violations Reporting work?

I'd like to echo this one — we recently resuscitated the Heads of
State and Government wikiproject[1], and as part of that made loads of
Listeria based tables to check that data is consistent, e.g.
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:EveryPolitician/Contrast_Report:Head_of_Government

The version of that to list obvious problems is now empty, as we got
it all cleaned it all up[2], but if some people keep that page on
their Watchlist then hopefully any new problems can be spotted and
corrected quite quickly. (Hint, a second bookmark to a Watchlist of
only pages in the 'Wikidata' namespace (i.e. not changes to items),
and with bot edits allowed, even if you've those hidden in your main
watchlist, can be handy for this)
