✍️ 👩🏻🏫 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

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…)
Week 6, 2026: What @wikidata album languages grew the most this week?
The Indonesians are on a tear lately! Could they be on track to crack the Top 20? 🥇🇮🇩🎉
Apropos nothing: albums on @wikidata with no set language, but where we know the band or artist hails from a German-speaking country (easily swap to a language of your choice): https://w.wiki/HmZg

#TIL: Die #EZB (Elektronische Zeitschriftenbibliothek) hat eine #OAI -Schnittstelle, was mir so bisher nicht bekannt war: https://www.ur-library.de/ezb-oai-pmh/
Die Metadaten zu den Zeitschriften für die Stabi Berlin dürften also so zu finden sein: https://ezb-oai.ur.de/zdb/oai2.php?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&set=ezb:holdings:DE-1

@sabrinkmann Coole Idee, wir sind jetzt auch mit einem Profil auf #Wikidata vertreten
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138026891
Da wir neu in dem Bereich sind, ist die Frage ob das so schon reicht oder noch Details nötig.
The Outer Hebrides area has 33 category A listed buildings on #wikidata. Amhuinnsuidhe Castle has a #wikipedia article. David Bryce was the architect.

That's a list I've been looking for for some time: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Indexing/RDF_Dump_Format#WDQS_data_differences
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.

在 SunoikisisDC's Digital Approaches to Cultural Heritage 課程第二章節【Collaborative Cultural Heritage Geodata 】中展示了 Wikidata 、Wikimedia Commons 以及 Wikipedia 等維基媒體生態系是如何能協助記錄文化資產資料，在課程中也同步說明如何透過 Wikidata 與 Wikimedia Commons 兩個平台的相互標註來達成更細緻的後設資料註錄。
該課程的詳細資訊、簡報以及錄影都已經在線上公開，歡迎社群夥伴到 github 頁面閱讀：https://github.com/SunoikisisDC/SunoikisisDC-2025-2026/wiki/2-Collaborative-Geodata

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.”
