Wikidata weekly summary #622

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week. This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2024-03-11. Translations are available.

Discussions

  • New requests for permissions/Bot: MONA.artpublic.bot (Task: The bot's function is to add information about artists specializing in public artwork in Québec, Canada. The bot will initially only add that an artist's genre of work is public art for a set of known public artists in Québec compiled by MONA Montréal from open data sets.)

Events

  • Upcoming:
    • Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group call April 2, 2024: Come join us for fun data modeling discussions! We'll create breakout rooms in Zoom for people to discuss 4 examples of cultural heritage items to contribute to Wikidata. Each group will choose categories, brainstorm properties for basic and enhanced description, and discuss challenges. Then we'll have some quality time at the end to compare notes and discuss our processes! Agenda
    • Wikidata Leveling Up Days, everything you need to know about Wikidata: 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14 April. The event is taking place online and the videos are already available on the program page.

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

  • Blogs: Galerij der Groten op Wikidata (Dutch) - Wikimedia NL hosted an Edit-A-Thon on the Baroeg project, the task was to document and archive on Wikidata all of the bands that have played at the live music venue, the idea born from a stack of band flyers and posters hung in the bathroom(!) Join the next one Sunday April 14th.
  • Papers: Understanding Wikidata - Wikidata is extremely valuable as a data source to supplement, validate and extend existing knowledge bases and applications. To effectively utilize Wikidata in a Semantic Web application, one must understand its design, terminology and correspondence with ontological concepts (especially RDF and OWL). This paper attempts to explain and position this information. (by AWesterinen)
  • Videos
  • Notebooks: Gender differences in the number of sitelinks among members of the European Parliament, a statistical analysis based on Wikidata about the number of sitelinks by gender.

Tool of the week

  • Wikidatalite : Search, browse, and navigate Wikidata items with a mobile-friendly, simplified user interface.

Weekly Tasks

A barnstar for you!

The Editor's Barnstar
For hitting 100k edit count :) The Herald (Benison) (talk) 13:15, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much for this! I'm mostly on wikidata right now, but hope to get back to en-wp :) Your username prompts vivid childhood memories for me. My father once had a Triumph Herald which (as a political candidate in the early 1970s) he painted fluorescent orange and attempted to supercharge. The result was that for a while it was embarrassingly distinctive in appearance, made extra noise and broke down sporadically. I have vivid childhood memories of this Herald, though by my time the paint had softened with mildew. A panel in an entirely different colour also appeared for a while...
