Re: [Wikidata] Photographers' Identities Catalog (& WikiData)

Actually, Nemo, I haven't yet added them to mix-n-match (though we've discussed previously). I turned all my focus back to preparing the site for launch, thinking it better to engage WD once the site was actually live. I did just submit a proposal for a external ID property. I'll look at

Nemo, Thanks, I will. There's not a good way currently to link to each of my entries* so it would be the IDs without links currently. *You can use the PIC ID in place of the Name in the URL to link directly to the photographer, like this:

Re: [Wikidata] Photographers' Identities Catalog (& WikiData)

There are some pretty good methods for optimizing the match process, but I have not seen any implementation for that against Wikidata items. Only things I've seen are some opportunistic methods. Duck tests gone wrong, or "Darn it was a platypus!" On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 11:19 PM, André Costa

Re: [Wikidata] Photographers' Identities Catalog (& WikiData)

I'm planning to bring a few of the datasets into mix'n'match (@Magnus this is the one I asked sbout on Twitter) in January but not all of them are suitable and I believe separating KulturNav into multiple datasets on mix'n'match maxes more sense and makes it more likely that they get matched.

Re: [Wikidata] Photographers' Identities Catalog (& WikiData)

Magnus, Yes, I'm curious to run the data through mix-n-match to see what it catches that I didn't (and vice versa). I've finished an initial matching and have all but about 700 names from WD to either enter into PIC, or reject (sorry Spiderman , PIC is only

Re: [Wikidata] Photographers' Identities Catalog (& WikiData)

Since no one mentioned it, there is a tool to do the matching to WD much more efficiently: https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/ On Wed, 9 Dec 2015, 01:10 David Lowe wrote: > Hello all, > The Photographers' Identities Catalog (PIC) is an ongoing project of > visualizing

In case you haven't come across it before http://kulturnav.org/1f368832-7649-4386-97b6-ae40cce8752b is the entry point to the Swedish database of (primarily early) photographers curated by the Nordic Museum in Stockholm. It's not that well integrated into Wikidata yet but the plan is to fix that

Re: [Wikidata] Photographers' Identities Catalog (& WikiData)

Thanks, André! I don't know that I've found that before. Great to get country (or region) specific lists like this. D On Wednesday, December 9, 2015, André Costa wrote: > In case you haven't come across it before >

Re: [Wikidata] Photographers' Identities Catalog (& WikiData)

Happy to be of use. There is also one for: * Swedish photo studios [1] * Norwegian photographers[2] * Norwegian photo studios [3] I'm less familiar with these though and don't have a timeline for wikidata integration. Cheers, André [1] http://kulturnav.org/deb494a0-5457-4e5f-ae9b-e1826e0de681

Re: [Wikidata] Photographers' Identities Catalog (& WikiData)

I think the Norwegian lists are a subset of Preus Photo Museums list. It is now maintained partly by Nasjonalbiblioteket (the Norwegian one, not the Swedish one) and Norsk Lokalhistorisk Institutt. For examle; Anders Beer Wilse in nowiki,[1] at Lokalhistoriewiki,[2] and at Nasjonalbiblioteket.[3]

Re: [Wikidata] Photographers' Identities Catalog (& WikiData)

Yep, thanks! Wilse there in duplicate (here's the correct one). The other will be gone in an hour or so when I update. I look forward to looking at these lists, thanks! It will

Re: [Wikidata] Photographers' Identities Catalog (& WikiData)

Thanks, Tom. I'll have to look at this specific case when I'm back at work tomorrow, as it does seem you found something in error. As for my process: with WD, I queried out the label, description & country of citizenship, dob & dod of of everyone with occupation: photographer. After some cleaning,

Re: [Wikidata] Photographers' Identities Catalog (& WikiData)

Can you explain what "indexing" means in this context? Is there some type of matching process? How are duplicates resolved, if at all? Was the Wikidata info extracted from a dump or one of the APIs? When I looked at the first person I picked at random, Pierre Berdoy (ID:269710), I see that both
