proposals:

Off-topic PS: Wikidata has always been LOD, it just wasn't represented
in the lod-cloud.net diagram. :-)

Andra,

Great Point !  Yes, if that is the general mantra...then it would be wise
to put that kind of tone on that Wiki page about properties.

Thanks !

 Hi Thad,

 properties can be proposed for deletion and, actually, get deleted.

 However, when a property is approved there is usually a reasonable
 discussion showing the potential of its application. If it can be applied
 to multiple items it does not get approved.

 Cheers
 Yaroslav

Why is there a need to delete them? Properties went through a proposal
cycle and I would be very cautious with deleting those properties since
Wikidata properties can be used outside the Wikidata ecosystem. Especially
since Wikidata is now part of the LOD.

I would say if the property has been unused for some time, nominate it for
deletion and see whether there is consensus the property is not needed. I
do not think there are any particular criteria.

Thanks Yaroslav, but ... you didn't answer my question ? :-)   What is the
criteria typically used or kinda agreed upon for "unused properties" ?

Curious,

I notice the listing of "Properties awaiting widespread use", possibly to
try to encourage usage, and I applaud that...but if usage never seems to
happen for whatever reason...

Do unused properties ever get deprecated after a really long time ?  What
is that criteria to deprecate them ?

If that is known... it would be nice to have that mentioned in a section
here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Properties

Thanks in advance !

[Wikidata] Wikidata in the LOD Cloud

[Léa Lacroix]

Hello all,

Thanks to Lucas who filled the necessary requirements, Wikidata now appears
in the LOD cloud graph: http://lod-cloud.net

Currently, the graph doesn't display all the actual connections of
Wikidata. The only connections that show up are the properties that link to
other projects or databases, and having a specific statement on them to
link to an RDF endpoint.

If you see something missing, you can contribute by adding the statement
“formatter URI for RDF resource” on properties where the resource supports
RDF (example ).

You can learn more about the procedure to update the graph and a list of
the existing and missing datasets here
,

Thanks to Lucas and John for making this happening!
