Re: [Wikidata-l] Re-enable quick editing in Wikidata please

Hoi Romaine, I am sorry but while I understand your frustration, you are not realistic and you do no justice to the situation. To start with Wikidata is not user friendly at all. It never was because development has been concentrating on basic architecture and basic functionality. At that we are

Hi all, I have signaled to a list of Italian developers/people interested in (Linked) Open Data (known as Spaghetti Open Data[*]) the fact that Wikidata item can be export in RDF/N-Triple: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q1.rdf

You can discuss the general user friendliness, but that is not the topic of this thread. You also miss the problem that is described. All the rest you write is not relevant here at all. There is a problem with the workflow and we (I have seen several users who complaint about it) would like that

Thanks for the pointers, James! I'll try to digest them. Our thoughts on the issue of representing relationships between works are not fully formed yet, but the current idea is loosely that * if the original work has a Wikidata item (according to whatever notability guidelines the community

Gergo One of the big advantages of commonsdata over wikitext is that commonsdata is Internationalised and ready for localisation. For this reason alone I believe it is worth looking closely at all wikitext to see if it can be expressed as a Commonsdata statement. Joe On 10 Oct 2014 17:09,

One case that particularly comes to mind is where we have multiple different scans of the same work -- eg we have multiple (incomplete) sets of the early 1800s colour engravings from Ackermann's Microcosm of London, or Pyne's Royal Palaces, or Audubon's Birds of America etc. It seems a shame

Re: [Wikidata-l] Item both subclass and instance?

So it is clear, instance_of, when translated to OWL, has generally been written as the predicate rdf:type. There is no specific instance_of relation defined as a property in OWL versions. There is still a difference between rdf:type and instance_of, which is that it is ternary temporally indexed
