| ===Wikidata as Hub=== | |||
| One way of looking at Wikidata relates it to the ] concept, around for about as long as Misplaced Pages, and realised in dozens of distributed Web institutions. It sees Wikidata as supplying central, encyclopedic coverage of ], and looks ahead to greater support for "federated queries" that draw together information from all parts of the emerging network of websites. | |||
| ] | |||
| Another perspective might be likened to a photographic negative of that one: Wikidata as an already-functioning Web hub. Over half of its properties are identifiers on other websites. These are Wikidata's "external links", to use Misplaced Pages terminology: one type for the DOI of a publication, another for the VIAF page of an author, with thousands more such. Wikidata links out to sites that are not nominally part of the semantic web, effectively drawing them into a larger system. The crosswalk possibilities of the systematic construction of these links was covered in Issue 8. | |||
| ] speaks of them as kept "minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article." Here Wikidata finds more of a function. On viaf.org one can type a VIAF author identifier into the search box, and find the author page. The , these days including Open Street Map, Scholia etc., allows this kind of lookup. The by {{noping|maxlath}} takes a major step further, allowing both lookup and crosswalk to be encoded in a single URL. | |||

| ===Milestone for mix'n'match=== | |||
| Around the time in February when Wikidata clicked past item Q50000000, another milestone was reached: the tool uploaded its 1000th dataset. Concisely defined by its author, {{noping|Magnus Manske}}, it works "to match entries in external catalogs to Wikidata". The total number of entries is now well into eight figures, and more are constantly being added: a couple of new catalogs each day is normal. | |||
| Since the , mix'n'match has gradually come to play a significant part in adding statements to Wikidata. Particularly in areas with the flavour of ], but datasets can of course be about practically anything. There is a catalog on skyscrapers, and two on spiders. | |||
| These days mix'n'match can be used in numerous modes, from the relaxed gamified click through a catalog looking for matches, with prompts, to the fantastically useful and often demanding search across all catalogs. I'll type that again: you can search 1000+ datasets from the simple box at the top right. The drop-down menu top left offers "creation candidates", Magnus's personal favourite. ] for more. | |||
| For the Wikidatan, a key point is that these matches, however carried out, add statements to Wikidata if, and naturally only if, there is a Wikidata property associated with the catalog. For everyone, however, the hands-on experience of deciding of what is a good match is an education, in a scholarly area, biographical catalogs being particularly fraught. Underpinning recent rapid progress is an open infrastructure for scraping and uploading. | |||

| ===The 100 Skins of the Onion=== | |||
| , with its eminently guessable hashtag, is upon us. We should be utterly grateful that in the past 12 months, so much data on which papers cite which other papers has been made open, and that Wikidata is playing its part in hosting it as "cites" statements. At the time of writing, there are 15.3M Wikidata items that can do that. | |||
| Pulling back to look at ] papers in the large, though, there is is less reason for celebration. Access in theory does not yet equate to practical access. A puts that issue down to "heterogeneity". A useful euphemism to save us from thinking that the whole concept doesn't fall into the realm of the ]. | |||
| Some home truths: aggregation is not content management, if it falls short on reusability. The PDF file format is wedded to how humans read documents, not how machines ingest them. The salami-slicer is our friend in the current downloading of open access papers, but for a better metaphor, think about skinning an onion, laboriously, 100 times with diminishing returns. There are of the order of 100 major publisher sites hosting open access papers, and the predominant offer there is still a PDF. | |||
| ] | |||
| From the discoverability angle, Wikidata's bibliographic resources combined with the ] query are superior in principle, by far, to existing keyword searches run over papers. Open access content should be managed into consistent HTML, something that is currently strenuous. The good news, such as it is, would be that much of it is already in ]. The organisational problem of removing further skins from the onion, with sensible prioritisation, is certainly not insuperable. The CORE group (the bloggers in the LSE posting) has some answers, but actually not all that is needed for the ] purposes they highlight. The ], or in other words the onion heart when it has become fiddly beyond patience to skin, does call for a '']''. But the real knack is to do more between the XML and the heart. | |||
