Re: [Wikidata-l] [Multimedia] Inclusion criteria for Wikidata items for paintings, engravings, illustrations, manuscript folios, photographs, old postcards, etc ?

2014-10-27 Thread Daniel Kinzler
Hello John I'm not sure that Wikidata is the right place for this kind of information, due to it's high granularity. As Zolo points out, maintaining a large directory of small things may be quite a burden for the community. However, Wikibase is by design well suited for representing research

Hi Ben, Note that the item-less form of this query also works for string, time, and coordinate properties. means that if you ask it simply for CLAIM[486], with no colon, you'll get all items which have any kind of value for the 486 property, regardless of whether it's a string, a coordinate, etc.

That would make sense.. though its a strange behavior. The one odd case there was this result https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1495661 but on a second look at has both a string D046152 and *unknown value* hanging off of it. thanks -Ben On Mon, Oct 27, 2014 at 1:37 AM, Andrew Gray

[Wikidata-l] Wikidata RDF

2014-10-27 Thread Martynas Jusevičius

Hoi, Hell no. Wikidata is first and foremost a product that is actually used. It has that way from the start. Prioritising RDF over actual practical use cases is imho wrong. If anything the continuous tinkering on the format of dumps has mostly brought us grieve. Dumps that can no longer be read
