[Wikidata] Request for feedback on CentralNotice banner for Wikidata user diversity survey

Hello, The Wikidata development team at Wikimedia Germany is planning a brief survey of the core demographics that make up the Wikidata community in order to provide us with a baseline for future diversity efforts. To yield representative results, we want to deploy the survey to a broad range of

Re: [Wikidata] Request

Hello! It isn't entirely clear from your email what kind of data you are looking for, or what endpoint you are using to get this data. If you need to extract large amount of data from Wikidata, you should probably start from the dumps [1], not from API calls. Without knowing more about your

Greetings All, Hope this e-mail finds you well. I am currently doing a master project in NLP in JKU under the supervision of Prof. Bruno Buchberger the famous Austrian Mathematician. I am facing a problem where I can’t get enough data for my project. So is there anything that can be done to

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

Federico, Yes they are incompatible concepts. However, one is typically treated as a subclass of the other. Its that https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q26869695 (nutritional diet) is a subclass of https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q474191 (biological needs diet) Which is correctly stated now with that

Thad Guidry, 13/09/2016 19:38: There is no need, therefore, to replicate those same definitions in Wikidata by creating a new Wikidata item (topic / entity) for each external vocabulary class or subclass or property. Instead, the best practice is to simply POINT to those external definitions,

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

Hi Gerard, Good question. lolol. And good point, you did ask about 'how it helps' and I didn't directly answer that, so here it is. Schema.org provides a set of guidelines for publishing structured data on the web in various formats. You can read more detail on our website. The answer Part 1

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

Hoi, Another broken record. I understand how identifiers added to an item make for the item and an external record to be the same. This is helpful because it allows comparison of the statements between Wikidata and the external source. What is the benefit of Schema.org. Why have it how will it

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

All, Vocabularies have their own definitions already hosted. There is no need, therefore, to replicate those same definitions in Wikidata by creating a new Wikidata item (topic / entity) for each external vocabulary class or subclass or property. Instead, the best practice is to simply POINT to

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

Hoi, Please explain how this would make a practical difference. We do not need it unless there is a structural need. Please describe practical benefits. Thanks, GerardM On 13 September 2016 at 12:28, Andra Waagmeester wrote: > Thad, > > I actually don't see how

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

Thad, I actually don't see how using internal properties would go against Wikidata policy. There is the requirement of notability, " 1. It fulfills *some structural need*, for example: it is needed to make statements made in other items more useful." [1] I might be wrong, but I

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

I'm a little confused by this suggestion - surely on Wikidata, the natural thing is for Game (Q11410) should have the subclass of Videogame (Q7889), or vice versa, and each of those items should link out to their equivalents of schema.org/Game / schema.org/VideoGame. I'm not sure why we then need

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

Andra, That type of powerful expressiveness is certainly doable in Wikidata. To blatantly create properties on a whim by pseudo proxy of using Wikidata items to do the heavy lifting. But that idea is against most of what I have seen in Wikidata documentation, policy, and community best practices

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

Hi Thad, Coincidentally I am drafting an abstract on exactly this topic. So yes I am keen on getting more of these properties in place. Bare mind that getting properties proposed can be challenging. I will draft the proposal for close match. Do you have a show case example, I could use to

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

Thanks Federico. Much appreciated, but...besides creating extra layers inside of Wikidata just to expose external data correctly Still, there is a need to have 'external subclass' directly on the parent class of diet https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q474191 One reason is to ease the burden of

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

Thad Guidry, 12/09/2016 21:29: The reason is that our definition in Schema.org is slightly different than which is the biological definition (a mixture of food sources that sustains a living thing) and from that derives the nutritional definition, the one

Thad Guidry, 12/09/2016 15:46: Not sure I understand what you mean by 'item' ? Do you mean a Wikidata topic ? I don't know what a "Wikidata topic" is, no such term is found on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Glossary . Your example Q474191 already has an "equivalent class" link to

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

Hi Andra, Yes, we'll want to have skos:closeMatch availablebut also... We need to help with long-tail domain support, and one way to do that is support more 'external' properties. Wikidata doesn't have all the data in the world yet, or a full understanding of it...but many times external

Re: [Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

Federico, Not sure I understand what you mean by 'item' ? Do you mean a Wikidata topic ? We are performing mapping at the Wikidata property level with a value of URL. Those Wikidata properties have to exist already for us to accomplish our work. Most of them do ,thanks to Denny and TPT... but

Thad Guidry, 10/09/2016 17:03: Does anyone know if a useful property like 'external subclass' is available to use to help us with our mapping ? Why can't you create an item for the subclass and link from there? Nemo ___ Wikidata mailing list

[Wikidata] Request for Property help (Schema.org mapping taskforce)

Hello, We have a small taskforce effort at Schema.org (myself and a few others) that have been adding Schema.org mappings into Wikidata to help with alignment. However, an issue came up where we did not have a complete 'equivalent class' between the 2 topics but had the need to say 'external
