Re: [Wikidata-l] Reconciliation of Wikipedia usage data with Wikidata?

Hi Paul, I don't know exactly how your "importance" ranking is defined, but it seems like you are making some "PageRank-y" inferences based on the incoming links, and incoming redirects. Putting aside the unprovedness of redirects conferring PageRank for a moment. Your question as I understan

Hello All, We already do have a freebase ID, similar to the VIAF one- it's P646. I just went back into the email Archives and a discussion started on 6/14/2013 by Google Developer Relations person Shawn Simister[1] first proposed this property. There

Hi Markus and Tom, Markus, I understand that your report does not claim to be research. I actually happen to think it's a really fantastic and mind-expanding idea of what we can do with Wikidata. It's given me much food for thought, not only can we correlate Wikidata fields, but we can use that

Hi all, First of all I think this is fantastic research. It goes to show, it's not just properties that we can correlate, but also the Labels, Aliases, Sitelinks, and the connections between each field. I would like to point out, as Markus does in his discussion - the relative disproportionate

[Wikidata-l] Counting sitelinks of subclasses.

2013-09-23 Thread Klein,Max
Hello All, It struck me that one interesting way to see if subclasses are useful was to test this hypothesis. Let QID_a and QID_b be two Wikidata items. Conjecture: if QID_b is subclass of QID_a, then count_stelinks(QID_b) <= count_sitelinks(QID_a). Has anyone investigated this problem, or can
