Released wikibase-cli v20.0.0 ✨

It includes a new command – `wb graph-path` – to find the path between a subject and an object via a given property, on the entities relations graph.

Package: npmjs.com/package/wikibase-cli
Changelog: github.com/maxlath/wikibase-cl

#wikibase #wikidata #sparql #qlever #taxonomy

A screenshot of my terminal, demonstrating the use of the new "wb graph-path" command, part of the wikibase-cli tool:

- Printing the help menu by entering "wb graph-path"

- Running "wd graph-path Q336 P279 Q5891 --sparql-endpoint https://qlever.dev/api/wikidata" returns "science (Q336) → epistemology (Q9471) → theoretical philosophy (Q2166096) → philosophy (Q5891)"

- Running " wd gp Q107635454 P279 Q2509280 -e qlever" returns                                       
"Critical Mass Berlin (Q107635454) → Critical Mass (Q318702) → cycling advocacy (Q5198304) → advocacy (Q2509280)

Critical Mass Berlin (Q107635454) → Critical Mass (Q318702) → direct action (Q506259) → activism (Q203764) → advocacy (Q2509280)

Critical Mass Berlin (Q107635454) → Critical Mass (Q318702) → cycling advocacy (Q5198304) → activism (Q203764) → advocacy (Q2509280)

Critical Mass Berlin (Q107635454) → Critical Mass (Q318702) → direct action (Q506259) → protest (Q273120) → demonstration or protest (Q130260549) → activism (Q203764)"

Hey can someone tell me what's the process nowadays to tell #viaf they are linking to the wrong #wikidata item? (it's clean wikidata side now)

✍️ 👩🏻‍🏫 Use Cases: So können Forschende in den Digital Humanities Wikidata nutzen

In über 30 Forschungsberichten im Journal of Open Humanities Data zeigen Wissenschaftler*innen, wie sie Wikidata als Plattform nutzen, um Datensätze aus den Digital Humanities zu verknüpfen, erforschen und zu visualisieren.

Dabei sind unter anderem Aufsätze von @JensB @KlausBulle @HannaMeiners

Hier geht's zum Journal: openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com

Intro to Editing Wikidata on Mobile

Once again, I'm thinking about the possibility of creating a collaboratively maintained pool of data about fediverse software projects, working with the Free Software Directory and the WikiData team.

A data pool could used to keep SFD entries and Wikipedia articles about them up-to-date. As well as serving as a reference for software lists on reference sites like fediverse.party, joinfediverse.wiki, and delightful.coding.social (formerly delightful.club).

Wow, that was a mess and a half (three different people named the same have been sharing the same #Wikidata item since early 2013…)

#TIL: Die #EZB (Elektronische Zeitschriftenbibliothek) hat eine #OAI -Schnittstelle, was mir so bisher nicht bekannt war: ur-library.de/ezb-oai-pmh/

Die Metadaten zu den Zeitschriften für die Stabi Berlin dürften also so zu finden sein: ezb-oai.ur.de/zdb/oai2.php?ver

@sabrinkmann Coole Idee, wir sind jetzt auch mit einem Profil auf #Wikidata vertreten
wikidata.org/wiki/Q138026891

Da wir neu in dem Bereich sind, ist die Frage ob das so schon reicht oder noch Details nötig.

That's a list I've been looking for for some time: mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/In

It shows the differences between the RDF source of a Wikidata item and the way it's stored in the RDF actually used in #Wikidata Query Service #WDQS (and in #qlever as well, apparently).

I'd stumbled over the fact that "?item a wikibase:Item" doesn't return any results. The link above explains why.

A paper of mine was published in the Journal of Open Humanities Data: "Developing a Data Model for Theatre Productions in a Wikibase Instance: A Case Study Approach" ☺️ 🎭

I developed a data model that can map #productions, #costumes, spatial settings, and interactive audience elements. Implemented in a #Wikibase instance, it enables #SPARQL queries on these elements of productions as well as roles, and casts.

You can read it here: doi.org/10.5334/johd.434

Maps Mania: Introducing GeoCards – A Wiki Labeled Map. “GeoCards is a new interactive web map designed to turn geographic exploration into a lightweight discovery experience. Instead of simply viewing places on a map, GeoCards lets users instantly uncover Wikipedia knowledge about the world around them – whether that’s a major city, a small town, a local landmark, or even a road.”
