[Wikidata] Re: web reference

[Markus Bärlocher]

I understand the very urgent desire that after a name change it is also 
tracked on the web. And I understand that if after 18 years of struggle 
this is undone again, the suffering is great.  A person's name is one of 
the most important identity-forming characteristics. And if something 
goes wrong, it leads to lasting psychological damage.


Since our work at Wikidata played a negative role in this, could we help 
to write an appropriate short Wikipedia article? The Joliot-Curie prize 
for nuclear physics should provide enough relevance for the French, 
English and German Wikipedia. That would certainly help to correct the 
Google hit as well.


Greetings, Markus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ir%C3%A8ne_Joliot-Curie_Prize

PS: That the wikidata entry will be corrected and of course not deleted 
is in my opinion self-evident (even if the name bearer wished it - it is 
not in her sense)

Is the issue that you prefer to be known as "Marie-Claude Lemaire"?

Re: [Wikidata] Wikidata-powered COVID19 Dashboard

Hi, looks very nice!
Big amount of data, nice layout! Thanks :-)

But:
The absolute number of persons is not very useful.
Please use the relative number per 100'000 people.
Or add at least the relative number.

[Wikidata] Terms - search for corresponding WD-item and WP-article

[Markus Bärlocher]

Dear Wikidata specialists,

I have a list with 5000 English terms,
which are translated to several languages (including the corresponding
WP-language-shortcut).
Now I look for the corresponding WP-article (as URL).

How can I search the corresponding *WD-item*?

As result I need a table with the columns:
- Term in English
- WD-item

How can I build the *WP-URL* for the language-specific WP-article?
Input:
- Term in Englisch
- WD-item
- WP-language-shortcut

Best regards,
Markus

Examples:
Aberration of light
Abyssal hills
Aerial photograph
Age of diurnal inequality
Aperture of antenna

Languages can be all WP-languages.

Re: [Wikidata] Elevation

[Markus Bärlocher]

Hi Daniel,

Yes.

Yes.

> The "elevation" property we have (P2044) is defined to refer to NN

It is not a good idea, to define 'elevation'
like it is "defined" in P2044:
there are hundreds of reference-levels (not only NN)...

NN was used from 1879 to 1992 in Germany.

Now in Germany we use NHN !

In other countries there are different reference levels
changing in different epoches ...

> you would need a more general "elevation" property,
> and a "reference level" property to use as a qualifier.

Yes, every elevation needs a reference level.
(without a elevation measurement is not usable)

> Then you could express something like "elevation: 28.3m;

In WD there is a confusion between altitude and elevation?
(may be in American and British English?
or geographic and aviation and astronomy?)

> reference-level: Q6803625".

_reference-level_ could be:
'NN'
'NHN'
'LAT'
'MSL'
'MHWS'
and a lot of others...

But this is a combination of unit and reference-level:
'm ü.M.'

We should not mix or confound this modellings...

What will be the WD-way?
(you should discuss this with a geodetic specialist...!)

Additionally we need an expression for 'accuracy' and 'source':
If the hight unit is 'meter' and the source value is in 'feet',
the new value could have a lot more/less digits than the source,
but no better/worse accuracy...

Bests, Markus

Hallo Daniel,

nein, ich suche nicht einen WP-Artikel über MHWS,

MHWS wird verwendet, um Brückendurchfahrtshöhen über Wasser zu

Re: [Wikidata] List of WP-languages and language short code

[Markus Bärlocher]

Hi Nemo,

>> I need the relation between ISO 639-3 and WP-shortcuts
> 
> I still have no idea what you mean by WP-shortcuts

I'm not a programmer nor a language specialist.
Sorry for my Swiss school English...

I have found this:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Liste_der_Wikimedia-Wikis?uselang=en
Contains 400 languages - but WP says that WP has 293 languages,
see: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sprachen

From there from column "Language" I extracted two columns
- language name local in local writing system
- language name English :-)

In the first list there are eight columns with
Wiki-language-abreviations (2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 characters).
But ISO 639-3 should have exact 3 characters?

I don't have a full ISO 639-3 list, and I don't like to try a matching
between a such list and the WP-language-abreviations by hand ;-)

> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Language_code has all the pointers you
> need and 

Here I read that ISO 639-3 is required:
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translatewiki.net_languages#Policy_on_enabling_translation_into_a_language
but I can't find a such list.

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes has most
> of the equivalencies between ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-3.

Here I count 185 languages.
And I have no idea how to merge this with the other tables with 293 or
400 languages...

I hope that there is somewhere in the Wikimedia-space a table of all
used 293 WP-languages with:
- ISO 639-3
- language name local in local writing system
- language name English

I hope my needs are more clear now?

Bests, Markus

Hi Nemo,

We work on an international dictionary for nautical terms.
ISO 639-3 is the international code used for software.
I need the relation between ISO 639-3 and WP-shortcuts,
because we think about integration to WD/WP.

Re: [Wikidata-l] OpenStreetMap + Wikidata for light houses

[Markus Bärlocher]

Hi Thad,


I helped with the Lighthouses schema in Freebase.


:-)

We have imported the LoL into OSM (40'000 lights),
and show them on OpenSeaMap:
http://map.openseamap.org/?zoom=13lat=54.47933lon=10.27177layers=BFTFFFTFFTF0

It would be great to have a popup in the chart which shows:
- Wikipedia-link to the lighthouse
- Commons picture of the lighthouse
- list of all data about (character, range, sectors, hight, etc.

It would be great to have an infobox in Wikipedia,
filled with data from Wikidata.

It would be fine to find somebody family with Wikidata,
who can build the structure :-)
and has an idea how to get the databases congruent (OSM and WD).

Best regards,
Markus

PS: 3 Mio Wikipedia articles we have already in the chart:
http://map.openseamap.org/?zoom=12lat=54.449lon=10.23044layers=BFTFFFTFFTT0
also some lights - but no systematic

[Wikidata-l] Lighthouse

[Markus Bärlocher]

Liebe WD-Spezialisten,

OpenSeaMap möchte die Leuchtfeuer-Daten in WD verbessern :-)

Test:
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q1821432uselang=de

_Quelle_
Habe eine neue Quelle für die Koordinate eingefügt.
Da steht jetzt die neue Koordinate, und als Quelle OSM.

Wie kann ich die Quelle genau angeben:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/330119702

_neue Aussage_
Mit Name und Koordinate und Bauwerk
ist das Objekt unzureichend beschrieben ;-)

- Wie kann ich weitere Aussagen hinzufügen?
- Wie definiere ich die Struktur einer Aussage?
  (z.B. range=Tragweite in Seemeilen)
- Wie kann ich dafür sorgen, dass diese Aussagen /allen/ Objekten
  in der Kategorie Lighthouse zur Auswahl angeboten werden?
- Wie erzeuge ich eine Kategorie Lighthouse bzw. Nautical light?
- Wie erzeuge ich Unterkategorien?

Vielleicht kann das hier jemand nachvollziehbar erklären (deutsch)
und am Beispiel Kiel exemplarisch umsetzen?
Wäre super!

_Verlinkung_
Wie kann man automatisch einfügen:
- WD-Link in das korrespondierende OSM-Objekt
- WD-Link in WP (ist vermutlich über WD automatisch verlinkt?)
- OSM-Link in WD
- OSM-Link in WP (ist vermutlich über WD automatisch verlinkt?)
- WP-Links in WD (ist vermutlich über WD automatisch verlinkt?)
- WP-Link in OSM (ist vermutlich über WD automatisch verlinkt?)
Wie findet WD alle relevanten WP-Versionen?
Wie findet WD die relevante Commons-Kategorie?
