Wikidata

Velkommen til denne introduktion om det grundlæggende på Wikidata.

Wikidata is a project where people from all around the world collaboratively collect and maintain data in a lot of languages. This data is open and free to use by anyone. For example, Wikipedia and its sister projects use it. The data also can be edited by anyone. This tour will show you how to edit your first item on Wikidata.

Den grundlæggende idé

På Wikidata handler alt om strukturerede data, hvilket gør det muligt for både mennesker og computere at anvende Wikidata, og det åbner op for an masse fantastiske muligheder, som du vil lære mere om på et senere tidspunkt. For at kunne gøre dette, er det nødvendigt at have abstrakte objekter, som repræsenterer de ting, som vi ser i dagligdagen. Disse objekter kaldes emner på Wikidata.

Each item has a unique identifier. It always looks similar to Q12345. This is super useful for machines and helps Wikidata serve people in a lot of languages. But it is not very human-friendly. We will solve this in the next step. Let's fill the item about Paris, the capital of France, now. This will be a page where we will collect all the data we have about Paris.

Etiketter

Each item can have a name in your language (and many more languages). We call them labels here. Here are some general things you should remember about labels:

  • A label is like a page title which describes what the item is about. It should be as short as possible (e.g. "Paris", not "Paris, France")
  • Labels do not have to be unique as they are disambiguated by descriptions - more on this later
  • Use the subject's most common name and only capitalize proper nouns (like London, Jupiter, or Hillary Clinton—but not city, planet, or politician)

Opret en etiket

Klik i boksen og skriv etikken "Paris" for dette emne. Efter du har gjort det, skal du klikke på "gem".

Redigér en etiket

Hvis du nu ønsker at ændre i etiketten, så klik på "redigér", skriv den nye etiket, og klik på "gem" igen.

Beskrivelser

As already mentioned, descriptions are used to disambiguate an item's label and describe it more detailed. The following bullet points are important to know:

  • A description describes and disambiguates the label (e.g. "town in Ontario" or "county seat of Lamar County, Texas" would describe different places called Paris)
  • Keep it short—descriptions are not sentences
  • Be as accurate and neutral as possible—avoid using information that will change with time or is considered controversial
  • Descriptions should not normally begin with initial articles (like "the" or "a")
  • Tip: Wikipedia is a good resource for coming up with descriptions for items—often the first two sentences of a page for an item will provide enough information

Opret og redigér beskrivelser

Descriptions can be edited just like labels. To save the description, click "save"; to edit it click "edit". Now enter a description like "capital of France".

Aliasser

If the item is also known under another name, you can add this as an alias. Note that an item can only have one label and description but several aliases for each language. About aliases you should remember:

  • Aliases are alternative names
  • Make sure to only capitalize proper nouns

Opret og redigér aliasser

Editing aliases is a bit different but also quite similar to editing labels and descriptions. You have to first click the "add" button to add an alias because not all items might have one. It's also possible to add multiple aliases for one item by clicking "edit"—a new text box will appear for you to type in. To remove an alias, click on the "x" next to it. If you have finished, click on "save". A good alias for Paris might be "City of Light" as it is commonly referred to as.

Tillykke!

Congratulations, you finished your first tutorial about Wikidata. Perhaps you want to get back to the overview. Also, as you perhaps already realized, this is not the real item about Paris but only a "sandbox". The real item about the city of love is Q90.

As you may have already seen, there can be stored much more information about an item than only labels, descriptions and aliases. There are for example sitelinks and statements. You can learn more about them in the next tours.
