Re: [Wikidata] Help needed: a project to pull data from the World Bank

Hi, I really like where this conversation is going! This is very much duplicating the (good) GLAM model for other types of content. ​ Formalizing a Wikidata-Scientist/WIR status beyond GLAM gives us access to broader pool of organizations who generate/own good sources of content. I see great valu

Re: [Wikidata] Help needed: a project to pull data from the World Bank

Sorry for being late to this great thread - I am definitely interested in pursuing the integration of Wikidata workflows with those of organizations hosting in-scope data. That was actually the gist of the Wiki4R proposal [1], and while it did not get funded, I think it contains a number of nuclei

Actually they can. All it needs is a little JSON file somewhere on the web that has one or multiple entries. Manual is on the directory page. On Wed, May 27, 2015 at 2:23 PM Lydia Pintscher < lydia.pintsc...@wikimedia.de> wrote: > On Wed, May 27, 2015 at 3:20 PM, Ricordisamoa > wrote: > > In wha

Re: [Wikidata] Help needed: a project to pull data from the World Bank

I agree with this point considering that I am experiencing personally GLAMs that can donate their huge datasets of metadata while the content is protected by copyright because their digital assets are the metadata and not the content itself. I am speaking mainly about digital archives of media. F

Re: [Wikidata] Help needed: a project to pull data from the World Bank

After having a chance to chat (at different times and in different conversations) with Sylvia and Lydia, I find this project very interesting. Being able to feed Wikidata with referenced data gathered periodically from the World Bank database sounds useful already, but I think we could take this in

I would really stress the concept that these data have three dimensions: a) quantity b) objects c) time And may be the dimensions can be extended to four or to five or to six... these are the cubs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLAP_cube). The discussion can be longer as we want but if a data st

Dear Markus, It is true, however it is not mandatory for the participants to join the event physically. It will be possible to present remotely, and if that is not possible in the short timeframe (which is due to Nordic Open Data Week happening and the external funder), someone from Wikimedia Sver

Re: [Wikidata] Wikidata Visualization Challenge

Dear Jan, I just wondered about the timeline you have for this event. Is it true that the submission deadline is 1 June 2015, and that the ten finalists are then expected to present their work in Sweden on 4 June 2015? Or is this a typo? Three days seem to be a very short time to select finali

Re: [Wikidata] Help needed: a project to pull data from the World Bank

Just skimming through the list of World Bank data, it looks like most of this would require unit support for quantity properties, which is not yet available. (See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T77977 . Unit support is currently listed in the development plan right after access for remaining sis
