[Wikidata-tech] Tracking internal uses of Wikidata Query Service

[Stas Malyshev]

Hi!

We are seeing more use of the Wikidata Query Service by Wikimedia
projects. Which is excellent news, but somewhat worse news is that the
maintainers of WDQS do not have a good idea what these services are,
what they needs are and so on. So, we have decided we want to start
tracking internal uses of Wikidata Query Service.

To that point, if you run any functionality on Wikimedia sites
(Wikipedias, Wikidata, etc., anything with wikimedia domain) that uses
queries to the Wikidata Query Service, please go to:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata_query_service/Usage
and add your project there. That is both if your project runs queries by
itself on the background, or if it uses queries as part of user
interaction scenario.

We do not include labs tools currently unless it is absolutely vital
infrastructure (i.e. if it went down, would it substantially degrade the
main site functionality or make some features unusable?) If you still
feel we should know about certain lab tool, please leave a note on the
talk page.

What's in it for you?

We want to know these in order to better understand the scope of
internal usage and as preparation for T178492 (creating internal WDQS
setup) - with the goal to provide internal users more robust and more
flexible service. Also we want it to ensure we do not break anything
important when we do maintenance, and we know who to talk to if some
queries do not work as expected and we want to fix it.

What we want to know?

- We'd like to have general description of the functionality (i.e., what
the service is for)
- How to recognize queries run by it - user agent? source host? specific
query pattern? some other mark? It is recommended that it would be
possible to recognize
- What kind of queries it runs (no need to list every possible one of
course but if there are typical cases it'd help to see it)?
- How often the queries run - if it's periodic, or what is
expected/statistical usage of the tool if it's user driven tool?
- Where could we see the code at the base of it and who maintains it?
- Feel free to add any other information about anything you think would
be useful for us to know.

What was that page again?

Re: [Wikidata-tech] Order of claims on entity page

[Vladimir Ryabtsev]

Hey Lydia,

We have NLP system that processes news articles, and a part of the system
is named entity linking module which works with both our own entities and
imported from Wikidata. Our internal users work with entities data in our
system for purposes of editing, modifying and merging of entities data. At
some moments entity data is displayed on user's screen and it would be
convenient for him/her to have the same data layout as on Wikidata page for
cross-checking or editing procedures that could not be automated. To display
it like this, we need information about how Wikidata site works to sort and
group properties. This thing would improve productivity of users,
especially when working on large entities with plenty of properties.

Best regards,
Vlad

I'd like to understand a bit more about what you are doing/trying to
do. Would you mind sharing a bit more about what you are working on
either here or with me off-list? Then I can better tell you if there
are good ways to get what you want, if we can add some or not.


Cheers
Lydia
