Motivation edit

This looks like a useful and fairly stable identifier for Australian legal items, which as far as I know do not have any other wikidata identifier. 99of9 (talk) 07:32, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, what Wikidata conference? --Canley (talk) 11:17, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Canley: Maybe I'm overselling it a little by calling it a conference, but this is the event I'm talking about. Part of this Tour put on by WMAU and User:Pigsonthewing. --99of9 (talk) 23:03, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I thought it might be that, but you got my hopes up for a minute there! --Canley (talk) 23:31, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That Sydney event does look very conferency. Wish I could attend but don't think I'll be able to. --Canley (talk) 23:46, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Canley: - as part of the Austraian tour there should be something organised for Melbourne as well... JarrahTree (talk) 10:28, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - FYI I used to work there and am friends with the founder. I’ll make sure he knows about this and perhaps he can join at the conf too. Wittylama (talk) 00:38, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Wittylama: I had a vague memory of this. It would be great to chat with someone in the know. Am I right that they currently don't store much metadata around each item apart from the source and year (e.g. defendant, plaintiff, judges)? If they have such info, it would be nice to get it onto wikidata, if not, perhaps there's a way of automatically extracting it and storing it on wikidata. --99of9 (talk) 01:00, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put you in touch with them directly, 99of9. I'm actually hoping to meet up with the Austlii folks, and indeed others from other countries' services, at the forthcoming "Law Via the Internet" conference quite soon, which is happening near to where I now live.[1]. So, I'll mention this there, and we'll see what happens :-) Wittylama (talk) 10:48, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
