[Wikitech-l] Re: Call for projects and mentors for Google Summer of Code 2023 and Outreachy Round 26 is ongoing!

[Susanna Ånäs]

Hi. I am reposting the Wikidocumentaries proposal as I somehow managed to
send it to a separate thread, so here we go!

Thank you for the opportunity, we are excited to join this round of GSoC
with this Wikidocumentaries proposal!

Wikidocumentaries[1] is a website that provides a language-independent way
of browsing Wikimedia projects based on Wikidata items. It displays media
from external repositories and integrates them as part of the pages. The
idea is to allow the users to find relevant open content and contribute it
to the Wikimedia projects by using the content for their purposes.

So far, Wikidocumentaries has not been enabled for contributions to
Wikimedia projects. The goal of the GSoC project is to establish the entire
process for retrieving media from a given media repository related to the
currently viewed topic in Wikidocumentaries, displaying it in
Wikidocumentaries and uploading it to Wikimedia Commons, adding structured
data statements to it.

When this workflow has been completed, it will be possible to make
available further features to match, enrich or organize the data. It is
possible to expand the work to these areas, based on the interests of the
intern.

Tech: The UI code is created with Vue, and the API code is JavaScript. The
work focuses on Structured Data on Commons, therefore understanding of the
MediaWiki API, Wikidata and Structured Data on Commons is needed.

* Mentors: TuukkaH, Susannaanas
* Codebase: GitHub[2]
* Phabricator: Ticket[3], Project[4], Microtasks[5]
* Documentation website[6]

Looking forward to tackling these issues together!

Cheers
Susanna & Tuukka

Hello all,


We are excited to join this round of GSoC with this Wikidocumentaries
proposal!

website that provides a language-independent way of browsing Wikimedia
projects based on Wikidata items. It displays media from external

the users to find relevant open content and contribute it to the Wikimedia
projects by using the content for their purposes.

So far, Wikidocumentaries has not been enabled for contributions to

workflow for retrieving media related to the currently viewed topic in
Wikidocumentaries from a given media repository, displaying it in
Wikidocumentaries and uploading it to Wikimedia Commons, adding structured
data statements to it.

When this workflow has been completed, it will be possible to make
available further features for matching, enriching or organizing the data.
It is possible to expand the work to these areas, based on the interests of
the intern.

work focuses on Structured Data on Commons, therefore understanding of the
MediaWiki API, Wikidata and Structured Data on Commons is needed.

[Wikitech-l] Wikidata properties for a fresh Wikibase

[Susanna Ånäs]

Can you advice how to create equivalent properties to a fresh Wikibase as
exist in Wikidata? Everything cannot be replicated, but having equivalent
IDs would be positive, and as much related information as possible.

Best

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Maps-l] Now live: Shared structured data

[Susanna Ånäs]

Great work!

I'm happy with the new naming, Commons Datasets.

For historical maps we have been waiting to have a way to store data about
the rectification with the map image. Here it is! It brings us one notch
closer to being able to work with zoomable historical maps in Wikipedia.

Some have noted that the datasets are contrary to what Wikidata is about.
Instead, they are complementary! Not all data is either suitable for
Wikidata or licensed openly enough. Or not yet. Many great datasets can be
introduced to the Wikimedia online communities. The data owners will pay
attention to more open licensing, seeing their data being used. The
wikidatans will pick up interesting datasets and work to prepare missing
properties for them in Wikidata and ignite their bots. Sometimes the data
can just be used as is.

This is one part of the puzzle and it will be interesting to see how the
pieces fall into their places and evolve further.

In the coming few days there'll be time to digest and experiment.

Happy holidays
Susanna
