Projects

2021: Wikidata:WikiProject COVID-19

2023: Working on source reliability, funded in part by a grant from NYU.

From WDC:

• /SemanticScholar

Notes on potential imports!

• Dataset import/cross-linking hubs

DNB + Europeana: 1k institutions. How to act as a data import hub? We have lots of CSV tables, JakobV's Cokoder tool;

Remembering ALih (2y ago) talking about this.

• Henry Thorsten - Stanford - LD4P, on how to use OpenRefine to import datasets

SPARQL: db tools w/o fixed schemas are freeing. Good to work w/ people who know nothing about [dbs, dbpedia]

Worst people to train are dbpedia experts? used to a very different approach...

• WikiCite devs: much of this work is individual contributors: setting up a pipeline so you can make refs in WP easily hooked into WD items, multilingually &c.

Talk with ESievers, Liam, others.

• GLAM institution estimates: 130k on WD. 3M+ total? most school libraries...

• Integrationg ORefine into WD workflow

allow linking directly to the OR .tar outputs. [fix Commons]

or OR --> Commons Data Table --> back? or explicit plugin that supposrts this via GDrive/IPFS

• Making ORefine a service: can be run on a server, interact via API...

G! is resource-consuming; dropped authentication piece on release; needs to be readded.

• Finishing the FB import

• Datatypes and property-request categories

• Expanding articles to include affiliation + email, noting other needed properties

Q29164671

Q28071746 - wants P:update-date

• Wikidata Subsetting (doc)

Naming subgraphs

tabular data

fusion of graphs from different source contexts.

Discussions

With OSP

Identifiers, pretty and permanent.

Human-curated subtitles or alt titles are essential: as redirects, aliases, indicators. --> OSP discussion

/Open Syllabus Project alignment

Wikibase for OSP data: syllabus itself, citation graph, ?

Wikibase ACLs? How do private wikibases work?

Start with 1M fully-open syllabi!

GLAMping: hoping for a summer gathering in the US
