Hi,
I'm looking into ways to use tabular data like
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:Zika-institutions-test.tab
in SPARQL queries but could not find anything on that.
My motivation here is in part coming from the time out limits, and the
basic idea here would be to split queries that typically time out into
sets of queries that do not time out and - if their results were
aggregated - would yield the results that would be expected for the
original query …
[View More]would it not time out.
The second line of motivation here is that of keeping track of how
things develop over time, which would be interesting for both content
and maintenance queries as well as usage of things like classes,
references, lexemes or properties.
I would appreciate any pointers or thoughts on the matter.
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello all,
The Wikidata and Wikibase ecosystem is a huge galaxy of exciting content,
tools, projects, powered by the communities as well as organisations
working with the software and the data. For seven years, people are
gathering, starting projects, developing tools, improving the editors'
workflows, filling various gaps, working all together to give more people
more access to more knowledge.
The *WikidataCon Award 2019* will reward the greatest projects in a variety
of categories. The …
[View More]awarded projects are selected by the WikidataCon Award
committee, based on nominations by the community. Everyone is invited to
participate and nominate one or several projects. The nomination process is
open until *October 7th*.
What we mean by *project*: a project can be a community gathering or other
initiative that led to great results (WikiProject, event, editathon…), a
tool (gadget, script, external tool…) or any other action that led to
improving Wikidata’s data, the workflow of its editors or the outreach.
To read more about the award and participate, please check out this page

Thanks!

Hello all,
We are about to make some changes to edit summaries that appear when an
edit is made using wbeditentity API, which includes for example editing
terms (labels, descriptions, aliases) from the new mobile termbox. The
summary messages currently contain “Changed an Item” as a comment. The new
summaries will include the message "*Changed label, description and/or
aliases in # languages*", where # is the count of distinct languages that
terms in them have been affected.
This change will …
[View More]be deployed on Wednesday, October 2nd, and the new edit
summaries will start changing from that point. The old edit summaries will
not be changed. More improvements will follow in the future (for example,
more details regarding the terms that have been changed and the languages).
You can see more details in this ticket
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220696>. If you encounter any issues,
please let me know. Thanks,

Dear all,
I thank you for your efforts. As shown in our research paper, many types of Biomedical entities and relations are not supported by Wikidata. When I saw OBO Library known to include many CC0 ontologies related to the medical field, I found that some of the ontologies support missing types of biomedical items and statements. http://www.ontobee.org/. I knew that several OBO ontologies have already been integrated to Wikidata. I ask if there is a work to …
[View More]include all OBO library ontologies to Wikidata. As well, I ask if there is already a work to automatically update Wikidata if OBO ontologies are updated.
Yours Sincerely,

Hey all,
Andra recently mentioned about finding laureates in Wikidata, and it
reminded me that some weeks ago I was trying to come up with a SPARQL
query to find all Nobel Prize Winners in Wikidata.
What I ended up with was:
SELECT ?winner
WHERE {
?winner wdt:P166 ?prize .
?prize (wdt:P361|wdt:P31|wdt:P279) wd:Q7191 .
}
More specifically, looking into the data I found:
Nobel Peace Prize (Q35637)
part of (P361)
Nobel Prize (Q7191) .
Nobel Prize in Literature (Q37922)
…
[View More]subclass of (P279)
Nobel Prize (Q7191) .
Nobel Prize in Economics (Q47170)
instance of (P31)
Nobel Prize (Q7191) ;
part of (P361)
Nobel Prize (Q7191) .
Nobel Prize in Chemistry (Q44585)
instance of (P31)
Nobel Prize (Q7191) ;
part of (P361)
Nobel Prize (Q7191) .
Nobel Prize in Physics (Q38104)
subclass of (P31)
Nobel Prize (Q7191) ;
part of (P361)
Nobel Prize (Q7191) .
In summary, of the six types of Nobel prizes, three different properties
are used in five different combinations to state that they "are", in
fact, Nobel prizes. :)
Now while it would be interesting to discuss the relative merits of P31
vs. P279 vs. P361 vs. some combination thereof in this case and similar
such cases, I guess I am more interested in the general problem of the
lack of consensus that such a case exhibits.
What processes (be they social, technical, or some combination thereof)
are currently in place to reach consensus in these cases in Wikidata?
What could be put in place in future to highlight and reach consensus?
Or is the idea more to leave the burden of "integrating" different
viewpoints to the consumer (e.g., to the person writing the query)?
(Of course these are all "million dollar questions" that have been with
the Semantic Web since the beginning, but I am curious about what is
being done or can be done in the specific context of Wikidata to foster
consensus and reduce heterogeneity in such cases.)
Best,
Aidan
