Press, articles, blog posts, videos

• Blogs
  • Small data, slow data − a SNAIL approach to Wikidata: discusses the value of small, carefully curated datasets in the era of big data. It emphasizes the importance of taking a methodical, "snail-paced" approach to data collection and analysis, which can lead to more meaningful and accurate insights. The blogpost also highlights how this approach can complement the broader trends of big data, ensuring that detailed, high-quality data is not overlooked.
• Papers
  • "WoolNet: Finding and Visualising Paths in Knowledge Graphs" given two or more entities requested by a user, the system finds and visualises paths that connect these entities, forming a topical subgraph of Wikidata (Torres Gutiérrez and Hogan)
• Videos
  • Introductory workshop to Wikidata within the framework of the Latin America Contest in Wikidata 2024 (in Italian)
  • GeoPython 2024: Bridging Worlds: Python-Powered Integration of Wikidata and OpenStreetMap: This talk explores Python-powered tools that integrate Wikidata with OpenStreetMap, allowing users to link entries between the two platforms to enhance geospatial data accuracy while navigating legal and ethical challenges of cross-platform data sharing.
  • LD4 2024 Conference: Wikidata and Open Data: Enhancing the Hausa Community's Digital Presence
  • Dynamic Mapping using Collaborative Knowledge Graphs: Real-Time SKOS Mapping from Wikidata: This presentation introduces a workflow using SPARQL queries to dynamically map live Wikidata data to SKOS concepts, featuring a Python tool that converts CSV outputs into RDF triples for integration into linked data environments and knowledge graphs, emphasizing real-time data retrieval and interoperability.

Tool of the week

• Elemwala (এলেমওয়ালা) (https://elemwala.toolforge.org): is a proof-of-concept interface that allows you to input abstract content and get natural language text in a given output language. There may well be errors with particular inputs, and the text may not be quite as natural as you might expect, but that's where your improvements to your language's lexemes, other Wikidata items, and the tool's source code come in!
• mlscores: Tool for calculating multilinguality score of Wikidata items (including properties). E.g. for Wikidata (Q2013), the scores are - en: 99.66%, fr: 89.49%, es: 84.07%, pt: 68.47%. For instance of (P31), the scores are - en: 99.86%, fr: 87.12%, es: 80.83%, pt: 61.37%.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• Launch of WikiProject Deprecate P642: The goal of this project is to prepare for deprecation, and eventual removal, of the property of (P642). Currently, of (P642) is labeled as "being deprecated", meaning its use is still allowed, but discouraged. From a peak of around 900,000 uses, the property now has around 700,000 uses (see status here). Our goal is to reduce that as much as possible in a systematic way, while ensuring that appropriate properties exist to replace all valid uses of of (P642). The latter is key to officially deprecating the property. Before removing the property, we want to get as close to zero uses as possible.
