Very interesting, thanks for posting! The TED dataset is also quite
interesting for Wikidata, because we are missing the generic concepts
behind many Wikipedia articles. Most people complain that Wikipedia tends
to dive into indepth information without giving adequate coverage in an
overview article. Many overview articles have grown beyond normal viewing
capacity on a mobile phone and probably should be split into 2nd and 3rd
tier wikipages giving explanations about branches of the subject. To see
what I mean, try viewing the English Wikipedia article for "Insurance" on
your phone.

The TED talks touch on many of such missing subject items and it would be
nice to crowdsource the creation of them. Your project could be possibly be
a way to direct contributors to quick explanations and/or uses of such
concepts. The fact that many TED talks are transcribed into so many
different languages means we may be able to harness these translations for
use in Wikidata labels. At least that is what I hope. Without labels,
nothing is findable on Wikidata and that is why we still are so slow
interlinking linkable items.

If your initiative takes off, it may be interesting to apply it to our own
set of film media on Commons, but very little of that has been linked to
Wikidata yet.

Yes, and most of those 2000 talks are linked to items about TED speakers.
We also have items for some of the larger TED events. More information
about the breakdown in talks is here:

Indeed; as the article says, we started in early February (indeed, we
did some prepatory work in late January).

Interesting. I just checked, and, lo and behold!, we really have TED 
talk information in Wikidata :-)


http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/view?id=Q23058816

The page shows general statistics on the various types of TED talks we 
have, and let's you browse to concrete examples. Almost 2000 talks in 
total as of last Monday.
