Speaking from DBpedia (not on behalf), we have been always trying to find ways to contribute data back to wikipedia and If licencing is the only issue here I am sure we can make any necessary arrangements. imho the main scepticism so far was trust from the WIkipedia community to load data in

Hoi, Two things to consider; the Wikipedia community and the Wikidata community are two separate entities. As far as I am concerned, Wikidata needs more data to get to the tipping point where it becomes useful to users. I am really vocal about both. The license has traditionally been a sticking

2013-08-26 Thread Markus Krötzsch
Hi Daniel, if I understand you correctly, you are in favour of equating datavalue types and property types. This would solve indeed the problems at hand. The reason why both kinds of types are distinct in SMW and also in Wikidata is that property types are naturally more extensible than

This seems very interesting: maybe, there will be a time when Wikidata (or similar) will host the bibliographic records of thousands of libraries... Right now, I'm not sure if we want to discuss a massive upload of these records in WD, because: * they are in MARC, which is way more complex than

If Wikidata has an ambition to be a really reliable database, we should do eveything we can to make it easy for users to use any source they want. In this perspective, if we got datas with guaranted high quality, it make it easy for Wikidatian to find and use these references for users. Entering a

If the problem is to automate bibliographic data importing, a solution is what you propose, to import everything. Another one is to have an import tool to automatically import the data for the item that needs it. In WP they do that, there is a tool to import book/journal info by ISBN/doi. The same
