Re: [Wikidata-l] Example of Wikipedia infobox generated from Wikidata?
Dear James,
Den 15-01-2015 kl. 01:29 skrev ja...@j1w.xyz:
I read that some Wikipedia infoboxes are generated from Wikidata. Can
someone please point me to an example of this?
It is not so wide-spread. In the Danish Wikipedia we have {{Infoboks
virksomhed}} which can set up part of the infobox fields, see, e.g.,
https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_%28butiksk%C3%A6de%29
https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skabelon:Infoboks_virksomhed
It is only five of infoboks fields that can be set up this way.

Re: [Wikidata-l] test.wikidata.org offers URL datatype now
It is apparently not possible to enter a URL with spaces and have it automatically escaped, e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical University of Denmark should be entered as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical%20University%20of%20Denmark On the other hand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/København works ok for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B8benhavn Also http://københavn.dk works. see https://test.wikidata.org/wiki/Q132 and https://test.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133 cheers Finn Årup Nielsen On 09/06/2013 12:10 PM, Denny Vrandečić wrote: Hello all, in preparation of next week's deployment to Wikidata.org, test.wikidata.org http://test.wikidata.org now has the new datatype URL deployed.

Re: [Wikidata-l] A personal note, and a secret
Dear Denny, I am sorry to hear you are leaving. You have done a great job with Wikidata. Congratulation with Q (a late congratulation) and the new position. best Finn Årup Nielsen On 07/11/2013 03:28 PM, Denny Vrandečić wrote: I am truly and deeply amazed by the Wikidata community. A bit more than a year ago, I moved to Berlin and assembled a fantastic team of people to help realize a vision. Today, we have collected millions of statements, geographical locations, points in time, persons and their connections, creative works, and species - and every single minute, hundred of edits are improving and changing this knowledge base that anyone can edit, that anyone can use for free. So much more is left to do, and the further we go, the more opportunities open. More datatypes - links are on the horizon, quantities will be a major step. I can hardly wait to see Wikidata answer queries. And there are so many questions unanswered - what does the community need in order to maintain Wikidata best? Which tools, reports, special pages are needed? What is the right balance between automation and flexibility? Besides Wikipedia, Wikidata can be used in many other places. We just started the conversations about sister projects, but also external projects are expected to become smarter thanks to Wikidata. I expect tools and libraries and patterns for these type of uses will emerge in the next few months, and applications will become more intelligent and act more informed, powered by Wikidata. A project like Wikidata needs in its early days a strong, sometimes stubborn leader in order to accelerate its growth. But at some point a project gathers sufficient momentum, and the community moves faster than any single leader could lead, and suddenly they might become bottlenecks, and instead of accelerating the project the might be stalling it. Wikidata has reached the point where it is time for me to step down. The Wikidata development team in Berlin will, in the upcoming weeks and months, set up processes that allow the community, that I learned to trust even more during that year, to take over the reigns. I will stay with the team until the end of September, and then become again what I have been for the last decade - a normal and proud member of the Wikimedia communities. I also would like to use this chance to reveal a secret. Wikidata items are identified by a Q, followed by a number, Wikidata properties by a P, followed by a number. Whereas it is obvious that the P stands for property, some of you have asked - why Q? My answer was, that Q not only looks cool, but also makes for great identifiers, and hopefully a certain set of people will some day associate a number like Q9036 with something they can look up in Wikidata. But the true reason is that Q is the first letter of the name of the woman I love. We married last year, among all that Wikidata craziness, and I am thankful to her for the patience she had while I was discussing whether to show wiki identifiers or language keys, what bugs to prioritize when, and which calendar systems were used in Sweden. I will continue to be a community member with Wikidata. My new day job, though, will be at Google, and from there I hope to continue to effectively further our goals towards a world where everyone has access to the sum of all knowledge.

Re: [Wikidata-l] Who to talk to about integrating WolrCat Library Records in Wikidata
OCLC-Wikidata sounds very interesting. I wonder whether the Wikidata people have thought about notability, and if/when there is much lower notability criteria the amount of data that could potentially be stored in Wikidata. In Wikipedia we do not have individual articles on scientific articles. (I complained about this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Finn_%C3%85rup_Nielsen_-_Wikipedia_is_not_the_sum_of_all_human_knowledge_-_Wikimania_2010.pdf :-) AFAIR my library have over 100 million records of journal articles. These could potentially go into the Wikidata together with information extracted from the scientific paper (In my case that would be data related to brain activity). /Finn, http://www.imm.dtu.dk/~fn/ On 25-05-2012 01:41, Klein,Max wrote: Hello Wikidata Wizards, Phoebe Ayers from the Board recommended I talk to you. My name is Max Klein and I am the Wikipedian in Residence for OCLC. OCLC owns Worldcat.org the world’s largest holder of Library data at 264 million bibliographic records about books, journals and other library items. We would really like to partner with you as Wikidata is being built, in incorporating our data into your project. *What we can offer:* ·WorldCat.org metadata http://www.worldcat.org/ . oTypically, for any work we have most of the following: title, authors, publisher, formats, summaries, editions, subjects, languages, intended audience, all associated ISBNs, length, and abstract. ·APIs to this data http://oclc.org/developer/ oAnd some other cool APIs like xISBN which returns all the ISBNs of all the editions of book on the input of any single one. ·Library finding tools oWhen viewing a record on our site, we show you the closest library which has that work, and links to reserve it for pick-up. ·The Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) http://viaf.org/, which is an Authoritative Disambiguation file oThat means that we have certified data on disambiguation of Authors ·WorldCat Identities, an Analytics site http://www.worldcat.org/identities/ oIt gives you for Author metadata and analytics: Alternative names, significant dates, publication timelines, genres, roles, related authors, and tag clouds of associated subjects. *What’s in it for us:* ·We are a not-for-profit member cooperative.
