[Wikimediauk-l] Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] Using Wikidata for your projects

From: Gerard Meijssen &lt;gerard.meijssen(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: 22 February 2014 10:48:23 GMT To: Wikimedia Mailing List &lt;wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Using Wikidata for your projects Reply-To: Wikimedia Mailing List &lt;wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Hoi, The tooling that Magnus has developed is gaining in maturity. It now has the functionality to enrich and visualise the data in Wikidata from the content of categories and lists in Wikipedias. It is possible to make sure that the subjects of *YOUR* project includes all the statements implied by categories. Adding statements to Wikidata items in this way is something that you can iterate over the many Wikipedias (the content of the categories is different in the many languages). Reasonator, the tool that makes information from the Wikidata data, is now able to show the content of that list in near real time. Such a list makes it exceedingly easy to add labels in *YOUR* language; it only takes a click, writing the label and one more click. Obviously, you will develop *YOUR* project and consequently Wikidata will be biased towards your data. The alternative worse; it is not having data. I have been adding information to Wikidata in this way and frankly it is really compelling to add this category or that category as well and consider consequences. What I am curious about is: - what you would like to see for your project. - how this works when many people work together in this way on Wikidata - how this translates to other Wikimedia projects.
