Anyway, Sam, please continue the development of the Ws-search. I just played with it a bit, but I find this to be an excellent tool for 1. importing data from WS to WD 2. *maintaining* WD up to date Point 2 is important as point 1. Maintenance is impossible if you can't do queries on WD or a

Hi, Wikidata is a list of facts, so I don't see how any other license would be appropriate. It is similar to copyright on patents and facts, as some commercial entities have tried to impose. I am obviously against that. I am also against copyright restrictions for databases, as they existed in

I've been experimenting with pulling editions' author information in from Wikidata, and it's reasonably easy if wea) look at the immediate page's WD item, and see if it's got an author;b if it doesn't, traverse up via P629 to the work, and see if it's got an author.If neither of those things

Authors from Italian Wikisource have already a lot (if not all) metadata on Wikidata: authors are *easy* compared to books (don't have the whole work-edition issue), so I think that users Candalua, Alex brollo and others solved this problem long ago. When you've copied all the metadata from WS

Yes you definitely need this flow of useful interproject links both ways: as a trigger for Wikidatans to do more with Wikisource pages, and as a trigger to Wikisourcerers to do more with Wikidata items On Wed, Nov 1, 2017 at 10:01 AM, Sam Wilson wrote: > Yup, still true.

Yup, still true. We do at least have a common goal of structured HTML, as defined by http://schema.org/CreativeWork It sounds like Tpt's scraper will do wonders, if a Wikisource just complies to that. I think that's one of the next steps we need to take. I sort of figure from the English

@Sam, Tpt, my personal experience is too that HTML is the way to pull out the Wikisource important metadata, but it's also that every Wikisource has sort of a different way to show them, meaning that you need to tweak your scraper for each Wikisource. Is that still true? Last time I did it was

And I guess that's independent of the actual titles of the editions? I mean, different editions could have different titles, but you'd still list them all on the same Opera page? So, if we were focusing only on pages that are not yet linked to Wikidata, for Italian it'd be easy in that anything in

For the "work" concept, Italian Wikisource decided to create a real and new namespace, "Opera" (which means work). It's the one page where we store the links to multiple editions of a certain book we have. It's not a disambiguation page in the sense that a disambiguation page works with different
