Wikidata:GLAM/Metropolitan Museum of Art/Tools/SDC

Structured Data on Commons (SDC) allows for Wikidata-like statements to describe Commons files, providing for very precise search using the "haswbstatement" directive in the search box.

For example, these directives can search for Met images from The American Wing that depict cats:

All cat depictions, including those by Wikimedia community: haswbstatement:P3634 haswbstatement:P195=Q67429123 haswbstatement:P180=Q146
- Run the search live
Only cats from official Met tagging initiative: haswbstatement:P3634 haswbstatement:P195=Q67429123 haswbstatement:P180=Q146[P459=Q106429444]

Maintenance searches edit

Query all Commons files for Met ID but have no depiction info from The Met.

These would be good candidates to iterate through and check against the Met API. If the primary image from the Met API matches the filename fragment, then the keyword info can be added with confidence.

# Met images and official depiction info from Met API
SELECT ?file ?filename ?thing ?thingLabel # ?url
WHERE {
  ?file wdt:P3634 ?metid .
  MINUS {  # FILTER NOT EXISTS does not work as well
  ?file p:P180 [
          ps:P180 ?thing  ; 
          pq:P459 wd:Q106429444 
        ] . 
  }
  ?file schema:url ?image .
  ?file schema:contentUrl ?url .
  BIND (wikibase:decodeUri(CONCAT("File:", substr(str(?url),53))) AS ?filename)
#  service <https://query.wikidata.org/sparql> {
#    service wikibase:label {
#      bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en".
#      ?thing rdfs:label ?thingLabel.
