[Wikidata-l] Tabula: Turn tables within PDFs into CSVs
http://tabula.nerdpower.org/ Tabula: Turn tables within PDFs into CSVs. More information at http://source.mozillaopennews.org/en-US/code/tabula/ . I imagine there are some people on this list who have access to PDFs of openly licensed data they'd like to get into Wikidata (from corporate or government sources who don't provide easy-to-work-with dumps or APIs). I heard about Tabula last night and thought the following flow sounded plausible: 1) get PDFs 2) run them through Tabula to get CSVs 3) use a pywikipediabot script to upload rows to Wikidata Happy adding! -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation ___ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l

Adam has been using the API of Wikidata a lot over the last months and has now also fixed a lot of bugs in it. He'd like to give a tutorial on that. I'll let you two figure out the details. Please let me know if you need anything else. Looking forward to SMWCon!
