-
Alright. Let's do some presents.
-
How this is going to work
-
is that the presenters get
roughly two minutes
-
to show their present.
-
You get to applaud.
-
Questions at the very, very end
if we have time.
-
So, we're going to start
-
with Joachim.
-
Whos going to talk about
-
the 20th Century Press Archives.
-
Thanks.
-
I'm presenting the first part
of a data donation by ZBW
-
from the 20th Century Press Archives,
-
which is to our best knowledge
-
the largest public newspaper clippings
archived in the world.
-
It has existed from 2008 to--
-
from 1908 to 2005.
-
And it evaluated more
than 1,500 periodicals
-
from Germany and from all over the world.
-
The material was organized
in folders
-
as you see here.
-
From a small corner
from a persons archive,
-
and 25,000 folders
-
with more than 2 million articles
-
and digitalized pages
are online now.
-
The integration of the persons archive
metadata to Wikidata
-
has been completed most recently.
-
And all of the more
than 5,000 person folders
-
are accessible from Wikidata now.
-
More than 6,000 facts
-
sourced from the person's archive metadata
-
has been edited Wikidata
-
and this includes rather
complex relations
-
like between persons and companies,
-
and their role in the company.
-
The next big challenge will be
-
the countries and categories archive
-
with more than 9,000 folders
-
which is organized by--
-
Yes?
-
A hierarchy of countries
and hierarchy of categories.
-
It's a whole system
of knowledge organization
-
about the whole world.
-
Materialized in newspaper clippings
-
and to match this in data
is a challenge,
-
so please consider to join
-
the WikiProject
20th Century Press Archives.
-
(applause)
-
Thank you Joachim.
-
Alright.
-
Lucas.
-
Stage is yours.
-
Hello.
-
I'm presenting two things,
-
so I get four minutes--
I've been told I've hacked the system.
-
(laughing)
So...
-
The first thing is
-
on behalf of Wikimedia Germany,
-
which is first version
of Lua support for lexemes.
-
(audience) Whooah!
-
(loud applause)
-
So you can see some Lua code here
-
which is there's probably
not enough time to read that,
-
and I'm not a great Lua programmer anyway,
-
but the result is down there.
-
We have access to the lexemes,
-
forms, the census,
-
also statements which are not
in the screenshot.
-
And it's not deployed anywhere yet
-
so that was just on my local Wiki.
(laughing)
-
But we're hoping to get it
at least to beta soon.
-
Probably to test WikiData
-
pretty soon afterwards
-
and then we'll see
where it goes,
-
and it's a start at least.
-
Thanks.
(applause)
-
And the second thing
I'm doing as a volunteer
-
so there's--
-
I made this tool a while ago
called Wikidata Image Positions.
-
So if you have a statement on item
that it depicts something,
-
for example a paintinng
could depict a person,
-
you can add a qualifier there
saying that this--
-
where in the image this is so--
-
like this person
is in the upper left corner
-
of the image or something,
-
and that is now supporting structured data
on Commons as well.
-
And if the presents page is open
somewhere...
-
No, not like that. I'm very sorry.
-
We can change that.
-
Yes, or read my emails.
(laughing)
-
(audience 1) So much unread media.
-
(laughing)
-
- That one.
- There you go.
-
So, there it is.
-
This is going to be a picture I took
earlier this year,
-
and there's already some
structured data here
-
that says depicts
-
certain pride flags,
-
and once this loads,
-
I can define the region.
-
There we go,
and this also now used the same library
-
as crop tool instead
of my home grown bad thing
-
which I think Andy was
asking for years ago,
-
and now it's finally done.
-
And I say use this region.
-
It's adding a qualifier.
-
Let's do the same thing
over here.
-
Just roughly drawn with a mouse.
-
That should be good enough.
-
And the third one.
-
There we go.
-
Use this region.
-
And now if we check Lydia's contributions
-
- except on Commons.
- (laughing)
-
Media.org
-
She gave me permission
to do this by the way.
-
(laughing)
-
User contirbutions.
-
Where you can see
some new qualifiers here,
-
and if we load this,
-
there's also used script,
which is also hopefully working,
-
- which shows you these regions correctly
- (crowd) Wooah! (applause)
-
on Commons.
(applause)
-
So basically the days of this
old annotation gadgets are numbered.
-
(laughing)
-
And that's it I think we can skip like
dozen back-up screenshots here now
-
and go to the next person.
-
- Thanks.
- (audience) Woohoo. (applause)
-
Which one? This one.
-
Okay,
-
So we have a Lexeme
uploading bot.
-
It's not developed by me.
-
It's developed by Ehuyar Foundation.
-
And it's developed to upload
-
Basque language lexemes
with all its forms
-
because its lexemes has 65 forms.
-
So, it's not something
that we can do by hand easily.
-
And also census.
-
You can download there.
-
I don't even know how it works.
-
(laughing)
-
And all I know is that
it's based in Wikidata Toolkit,
-
so it's a subversion of that
and it's also in the [inaudible]
-
of Wikidata, I think.
-
That's it.
(applause)
-
- (Lydia) Thank you.
- (audience) Woohoo (applause)
-
Hello.
-
I may have to reload this.
Let me just make sure.
-
Does it work? Yes. Present.
-
Great.
-
Now, this is a project
we've been working on for a while,
-
but we are rolling it out
for the first time
-
to a big crowd here
at WIkidataCon
-
and we'll show you some--
a real cool feature
-
that we didn't tell you about
earlier today.
-
So with this is a project called
The Wiki Art Depiction Explorer,
-
and this is an attempt
to try give an interface
-
better than
just editing a raw Wikidata item
-
when it comes
to adding depiction information
-
for artworks,
so this is a project that was funded
-
by the Night Foundation,
and Wikimedia D.C.
-
and the Smithsonian,
we worked together on this project
-
and with the amazing development skills
-
of Edward Betts, right here.
-
So this is an example
of what you'll see,
-
and we invite you all to try it out.
-
art.wikidata.link
is the URL,
-
and the idea here is that
you can see a large version of the picture
-
and we will try to bring in
whatever we can
-
from the object page
of the institution
-
that holds this image.
-
So, we're bringing
in some description information,
-
so that the person trying
to add depict information,
-
has some additional readings
that they can have here,
-
We also bring in some key words,
and the great thing about this
-
when you start typing in the box,
-
you are actually given matches
against whatever's been previously
-
matched in depictions statements.
-
So, this is a much
tighter controlled vocabulary.
-
It gives you a much better direction
of what to do.
-
So here is an example here,
if this works correctly,
-
we should be able to click that.
-
And also make more edits
on Lydia's behalf. (laughing)
-
And we can go in here
and type in ballet,
-
and you'll see that it doesn't match
everything on Wikidata
-
but only things that are relevant
-
based on previous depiction,
statements,
-
so I can say ballet dancer.
-
I can go back in there
and add these different--
-
Oops.
-
Ooh. Not sure
why it's not working.
-
Anyway, let me go ahead
and make those edits
-
and then now that has been committed
-
and you can actually start
browsing other things.
-
So the idea is to keep you
in this universe of paintings
-
and artworks, and not just
punch you back out to Wikidata.
-
But we also have another
bonus function
-
that Edward is going to show you.
-
So, this painting we've got date of birth
and death for this person.
-
So, we do a search
and these are all the people
-
that were born and died in those years
-
and so...
-
are we at Aurora?
-
- Yep. Can you see the match?
- Which one is it?
-
- I didn't see the match.
- Yep, further down.
-
Maria Aurora. Right there.
-
- So, if I click on that.
- So, you click on that.
-
and then scroll down.
-
And then we go-- Oh it's...
(laughing)
-
There you go.
-
Add these to the painting.
-
(audience 2) You need to highlight
word metrics from the title.
-
That... it'll come.
(laughing)
-
So, it worked.
-
It saved it to the painting.
-
So it'll match all humans
with those birth date
-
and the death date,
-
and you can click that automatically.
-
- And that's it. So go ahead and try it.
- (audience) Woohoo! (applause)
-
Oh, those are just some stats.
-
We had a whole bunch
of people try it already today,
-
and we upped this number today.
-
So keep working at it. Thanks.
-
Next one is Bruno.
-
Hello.
-
I'm Bruno from Google
-
and we are open sourcing
-
what we call lexical masks.
-
A Little bit less sexier than the picture
we just saw.
-
It's a config file that specifies
what a lexeme needs to look like,
-
what kind of form,
you expect in a lexeme
-
and what kind of feature you want
on those forms.
-
Example here, it's German nouns
-
that will have a gender inherent,
-
and we'll have a couple of forms
specified here
-
with a couple of features you expect.
-
The mask or the text files
that you see here
-
will be uploaded to Wikidata
so that I can help the Lexeme community
-
to check consistency
and increase the coverage.
-
More details on the talk I gave
earlier today
-
and Lydia's.
-
Thank you.
(applause)
-
Yes, so in the past two years,
-
I have had an hobby
-
because I was not, let's say,
very happy
-
with the current SPARQL implementation
especially Blazegraph.
-
So, during my free time,
I started a project
-
I called Oxigraph
-
so, it's basically like Blazegraph
but different.
-
(laughing)
-
So, it starts getting in those
states that work
-
so SPARQL queries were implemented.
-
But it's not been optimized yet,
currently there is no optimization
-
of how queries are executed.
-
So as you're seeing
this small experiment
-
with some SPARQL queries
the results seem fairly promising.
-
What is nice is I used the rest
to implement it
-
and I managed to get the memory footprint
fairly reasonable
-
as well as some--
Blazegraph origin
-
or [inaudible] so,
I hope that maybe in the future
-
I'm going to get
maybe all the people who can
-
then spend more time to make it
ready working well,
-
we could have something very good
for at least smaller Wikibase [inaudible]
-
with a few million
or ten of million [inaudible].
-
So the repository is here,
so it's not working fairly well.
-
It's a work in progress
and if you want to test it,
-
or contribute,
you are much welcome
-
because it's a big task.
-
Thank you.
-
(audience cheers and applause)
-
I was going to do a live demo
-
but it didn't go well earlier,
-
so this is a video,
(laughing)
-
which...
-
Wait, I can do this on my phone right?
-
Access denied.
-
(singing) Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
-
Two minutes.
-
Well the video is two minutes long.
(laughing)
-
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
-
(audience 3) We have two people here
from Google.
-
I'm sure they can come up
with something. (laughing)
-
Okay, we might just watch
it in this tab.
-
Come on.
-
Da-da-da-da-da
-
Yeah, so I did a live demo
and I thought that would go badly.
-
But--
(laughing)
-
So, this is something I've been working on
-
ever since creating
the doc images two years ago
-
and this is a sort of
shared platform website
-
where you can go ahead
and make an account.
-
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
-
And then you've got a lovely button
on the next page
-
which allows you to create a Wiki.
-
There's lot of features
missing at the moment,
-
so you get to choose a Wiki name,
-
where it is and a user name at the moment.
-
But the possibilities are endless,
-
and it goes and creates a Wiki
in a shared enviroment,
-
saving on all of us
expensive resources
-
that we're all spending
running Wikibases.
-
I recorded this just downstairs earlier
-
so, this is like, kind of real.
-
I sped it up slightly but--
-
You get emailed your media Wiki
temporary password.
-
You can log in with the user account
that you made.
-
Da-da-da-da.
-
Then you have to change your password.
-
This is where I just copy
part of the URL in.
-
(laughing)
-
And then you're logged into your
very own Wikibase
-
that has quick statements,
a career service,
-
everything managed for you
that you don't have to worry about.
-
(audience) Woo! Woo woo woo.
(applauding)
-
So you can go and create
-
all of your items, use tools,
-
and I plan on adding
more tools in the future.
-
All of the complexities are hidden.
-
At the moment this is live
-
on this wbstat.com domain name.
-
But you need an invitation code from me.
-
If you want one to try one out
during WikidataCon,
-
come and talk to me,
and I will give you one.
-
It's full of bugs at the moment,
and stuff so don't rely on it.
-
This is quick statements working,
-
and then on the Saturday
of WikidataCon
-
I'll delete all of the data,
-
and then we'll be using this
for the Wikibase workshops
-
on Sunday if any of you are attending.
-
And then it will get a real test,
-
and so then you can see
the two edits have happened.
-
I'm so glad I didn't do this
as live demo,
-
and then you go to the query service.
-
You type in the query
that shows you all of the triples.
-
Even in the recording, you do it wrong.
(laughing)
-
And then you have all your triples.
-
(audiences cheers and applause)
-
Alright.
-
So, Happy Birthday Wikidata!
-
I started on this last year,
-
actually for the Wiki site meeting
-
which was about a year ago, and--
-
got something running
and got a lot encouragement
-
from Daniel Mietchen
who's probably watching online.
-
Hi Daniel.
(laughing)
-
And he's given me all sorts of ideas
-
for improving it,
and so just in time for this meeting,
-
I've got a new version out
that does more.
-
So basically what this is
is a tool to replace
-
in mostly scientific articles
but any work really
-
where there's an author--
author name string,
-
replace that with an actual
author item which is--
-
pulled from Wikidata using
some various things to match
-
to that properly.
-
So changes are most recently
-
you can log in with your Wikimedia
user account
-
and do the edits directly
rather than previously
-
it all just went through quick statements
-
which I've got about a million
quick statements edits now.
-
laughing)
-
This is a llittle bit past here
-
and bypasses that.
-
Another new thing
is you can actually go in
-
and look at a work,
-
and update all of the authors
on that work at once.
-
So there's a match button.
-
You can also rearrange the author list
if they're out of order or something.
-
There's also---
-
Oh yeah, this is an example
of what that looks like
-
so when you're matching
it up with authors it lists...
-
some information about their affliation
as it is in Wikidata.
-
The other thing that's new
is some automatic filtering.
-
If you go to the bottom of a page
-
that is a search for an author name,
-
you'll see links to coauthors,
-
links to other--
to the topics they've written on,
-
links to their journals
-
and so you can filter,
and narrow down the list
-
of your listed works
that you're looking at
-
to just those things
-
that have those particular
features in them.
-
Anyway, that's what's new there.
-
And that's it. Thank you.
-
(cheers and applause)
-
Hi all.
-
I'm also from WMDE
-
and a volunteer,
but this is volunteer work.
-
It's a tool MachtSinn.
-
A few of them might...
a few might already seen it,
-
but I improved it greatly
in the last week.
-
So we have these lexemes nowadays
-
and on these lexemes
you should add the sense
-
what the word means,
and all the different meanings
-
a word can have,
-
and we have a lot of lexemes now
that still are missing senses,
-
that don't have any sense
and... (laughing)
-
in a lot of cases,
we also have items
-
about the concept that
this sense is about,
-
and so I thought we could mind
the senses,
-
and this is what MatchtSinn does.
-
It shows you for a lexeme
-
and this case the English
word tune,
-
which is a verb
and possible meaning.
-
In this case: short instrumental piece,
-
a melody and you're asked
-
is this a meaning for this word,
-
and if you click the blue button
-
it will save it to Wikidata.
-
And if you click the right button,
-
it will throw it away.
-
And you login to--
-
the tool with your Wikidata account.
-
We are OAuth.
-
And a few people have already using it
-
and added 6,000 senses,
-
and there are currently
about 40,000 senses
-
waiting to be considered,
-
and tested,
and also for writing this
-
I had to first write some Python tool
-
to modify Lexemes because
Pi Wiki bot
-
and the other common tools
don't support that.
-
Yes, thanks.
-
(applause)
-
Hi, Happy Birthday.
(laughing)
-
Happy Birthday!
-
(audience) Woo!
(laughing)
-
Are you eating cake
during my presentation?
-
Okay, what to expect from a Data Scientist
for [inaudible] dashboard, of course.
-
Okay, so this time--
-
well, there's the end product. (laughing)
-
This time something called
Wikidata Languages Landscape.
-
So--it's is a dashboard
as I said
-
so some of the empirical findings
that you present
-
through the Wikidata statistics
were already serviced today
-
in Lydia's talks,
and basically focuses
-
on the structural organization
of languages in Wikidata,
-
on the similarity of Wikidata languages
-
in respect how they're reused across
the Wikimedia Foundation projects, right?
-
And it also combines
some of the external resources
-
with those statistics in order
to provide for a comprehensive view
-
of how different languages cope
in this Wikimedia universe.
-
So, there's a link to the dashboard
-
so I was warned not to do this,
but I will try. (laughing)
-
Sorry.
(laughing)
-
So depending on the--
Yes. Yes! It can be done. (laughing)
-
Okay, so I will be even able
to do a live demo maybe...
-
Okay, come on, come on, come on.
-
It's still computing.
It's a very complicated service.
-
Yep, here we go.
-
Okay, the first thing
that you will be able to see.
-
Okay. Yes alright.
-
(audience) Wow...
-
Wow. As I said a Data Scientist,
so this is not really informative, right?
-
Okay.
-
So here you have all the languages,
or most of languages in WikiData
-
and we're focusing on
those languages
-
that were ever used anywhere
in Wikimedia, okay?
-
So, we're talking about languages
that actually have labels for things
-
that are mentioned in--
-
across Wikipedia, Wikivoyage
and other projects, right?
-
So, and this is only
a subontology of languages like so.
-
This depicts only the instance
of [inaudible] in [inaudible]
-
So that you can actually use
probably these tools here
-
to browse this thing.
-
It's not aesthetically pleasing
but at least it's complete.
-
One of the byproducts
of this work is--
-
sorry, not this thing,
but this thing here.
-
So, this is a small visual browser
-
that can help you
figure out what is wrong
-
with the ontology of languages
in Wikidata,
-
and if you want to fix something
it makes it easier for you to find.
-
So, while working on this thing.
-
I figured out that the languages
ontology's particularly complex,
-
really complicated, okay.
-
And then there's some inconsistency
there for example.
-
Well at least in my intuitive
understanding of semantics,
-
you can't be at the same time
a part of something
-
in a subclass of something.
-
I mean you can,
and Wikidata is really flexible enough
-
to allow you to do that,
-
but probably some things
need fixing in that respect,
-
and here for example,
-
you can find the language,
-
say, for example, Serbo-Croation.
-
It used to be my native language
-
before it fell apart
into Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, etc.
-
Okay, and here you have
all the relations
-
like P31 part of subclass [inaudible]
different marks.
-
So, if anything needs to be fixed
instead of browsing the whole--
-
the whole structure
of the whole ontology
-
you can go here
and just make it shorter, right?
-
And then things like plastering
the language
-
many people like this on Twitter.
-
It actually cost me
half of my life
-
to produce this thing.
-
Okay, it's huge.
-
So yeah, this is the dashboard
-
to go play
many interesting things.
-
Thank you very much.
-
(applause)
-
So, this is--
-
This presenation is called
WikiShape
-
and this is something
that we have been working
-
in the Shape Expressions community group,
-
and the idea of WikiShape is that
-
we want to have like
the Wikidata query service
-
which is I think is something
-
that most of you are using
to do SPARQL queries,
-
but now we want to do
the same thing
-
but for Shape Expressions.
-
So we wanted an editor
-
which is as easy to do,
and to work with it
-
as it is with Wikidata query service.
-
That's what we are going to--
-
that's the world of WikiShape
-
so you have Shape Expressions
editor and validator.
-
You also have syntax highlighting,
-
auto-completion,
schema visualiztion,
-
and search.
-
So this is just a screen.
-
Well, this is--
I could click on that
-
but I prefer not to do that.
-
You can have info about schema.
-
You can have sign information
about the schema.
-
You can visualize the schema.
-
This is--you can autocomplete.
-
For example just start writing work
-
and it finds the schemas for that.
-
Then, you also have the editor
-
and as you can see,
this is for written work.
-
You can have this editor
of the schema of the Shape Expression.
-
If you hover with a mouse,
-
it highlights the name of the label
of the property
-
which is the same
as the Wikidata Query service
-
so the goal is that
-
now that you have Shape Expressions,
-
the goal is that you are
using Shape Expressions
-
to validate your data
to increase the quality
-
of the Wikidata--data...
-
using Shape expressions.
-
And also, you also can visualize
the schemas.
-
Once you have a schema
for example for written work,
-
the author or whatever
you can visualize,
-
and all that.
-
So, that's the goal of WikiShape.
-
(applause)
-
I love Wikidata.
-
I'm very proud of the work I do
and my friends do on Wikidata,
-
and I know most of you are pleased
to work on Wikidata as well.
-
It's come to my attention
over the last couple of days
-
that a couple of you
-
are working on a rival product
(laughing)
-
and undermining what happens
on Wikidata.
-
This product is apparently called,
"Wiki-dah-ta" (enunciates the 'a')
-
(laughing)
-
I've never heard
of this "Wikidata" before.
-
So, in order to get things correct
-
because some of you are doing it wrong.
(laughing)
-
If I can find the mouse pointer,
how do I open this?
-
Here we go.
-
We have here.
(laughing)
-
(computer) Wikidata.
-
You probably can't hear.
-
That is very, very quiet.
Let me do that again.
-
- (audience) No the other one.
- The one next to it.
-
(Andy) Oh yep, I got you.
-
You're not going to hear this anyway.
-
(computer voice) Wiki-day-ta.
(laughing)
-
So, there it is for the record.
(applause)
-
But, okay.
-
Joking aside if those of you
who do have speech impediments
-
would like to make a version
of your pronunciation,
-
then please feel free.
-
Thank you. (laughing)
(applause)
-
So, I thought I was--
-
I had the laziest present
but then Andy beat me to it.
-
(laughing)
-
So, because I literally made this present
an hour ago.
-
Some of you might know VizQuery
-
which is a tool I made
to visually query "Wiki-dah-ta,"
-
and now I saw this tweet from Maarten
just an hour ago
-
saying, "Hey, there's a preview
of the Commons Query Service"
-
so I thought what would happen
-
if I would just change my SPARQL
end point,
-
and my tool to the beta
Commons SPARQL end point,
-
and just add it to my tool,
of course.
-
Now we need to wait for the wifi.
-
I should have made a video
but of course,
-
given that I just had an hour,
here we are.
-
So, for those of you
who don't know VizQuery,
-
it allows you to do things like say,
"depicts"
-
and say, it "depicts a cat,"
-
and so what you get
are all the Wikidata items
-
that depict a cat with pictures.
-
However, what you can do now
is you go all the way down
-
there's a link saying
-
use the Wikimedia Commons SPARQL
endpoint experimental.
-
And now when I say "depicts a cat,"
-
you will actually get
-
- Commons images of cats.
- (audience) Woo!
-
(applause)
-
So, let's say you want a cat
that actually shows its whiskers.
-
Now we're going to get...
-
That's it.
-
So, well. Thank you.
-
(laughing)
(applause)
-
An hour ago well--
(snickers)
-
That was ten minutes ago.
(laughing)
-
So, sometime ago I did this tour,
The Wikimedia hackathon in Prague
-
called inteGraality
-
making dashboards
of property coverage,
-
and I introduced to you
the service pack update 2019.
-
(laughing)
-
So this is InteGraality,
so you haven't seen it yet.
-
It makes things like this--
ah it's cute--
-
or paintings
and their columns of properties
-
and lines or different groupings.
-
So, how to slice and dice the data,
-
and I bring you a couple of improvements
-
that are going to be live-demoed.
-
So some people wanted
to be able to query for qualifiers
-
because some properties
are not top level.
-
So if we do this...
-
(laughing)
-
and...
-
also some people wanted to display images,
-
which is I guess is not
the greatest display.
-
Alright. Loading.
-
It's supposed to be fast.
-
Supposed to be fast (laughs)
-
I know it works
because I already did it.
-
Yes, updated page.
-
Yep and that works.
-
Now the street number.
That worked. (applause)
-
Pictures, maybe
you're going to make it.
-
Ah. Nah.
-
Well, everything [inaudible].
(laughing)
-
really works.
(laughing)
-
Yep. Yep. That worked.
-
Yeah, also works with images.
(audience) Woo!
-
(applause)
-
So there were two picture requests
but they were not the worst
-
and this one was literally done--
-
Oh what could be that link here?
-
I wonder.
-
Okay. Not this one is going
to be too big.
-
Let's go for yeah--
this is going to be fine.
-
Yeah, the reason why I spend
my entire time
-
at the conference doing this
is because I spend the last few weeks
-
writing tests for all the code
that I wrote in Prague,
-
and it's like--
Oh, so what could these links be?
-
Yeah, these are the items
that have the property,
-
and if you go the other one
-
that are the items
that don't have the property,
-
so you can actually make this--
-
dashboard completely blue,
-
if you spend enough time.
-
(laughing)
-
Yeah. That's the service pack update.
(applause)
-
Oh, we're at the end of the slides.
-
Now we're taking the people
who didn't give me slides.
-
(laughing)
-
Alright.
-
Who would that be?
-
I know one.
(laughing)
-
Are there other people?
-
(presenter) I added something
at the back--
-
Uh huh. Two. okay.
-
Alright. Amir, you go.
-
Hello. Sorry for a late minute
presentation.
-
One reason is that
the dashboard was broken
-
but we were able to fix it.
-
So a lot of us use Wikidata,
-
and you see sometimes
it's a little bit slow
-
when you want to load a page
-
especially when the item
is very, very big.
-
So, in the last month--
-
several people
at Wikimedia Deutschland
-
like Rosalie, Jakob and me
started working on it,
-
and improved the performance of Wikidata.
-
So now we have something to show
it to you.
-
So I will go to www.wiki [inaudible]
-
Where is the slash--German keyboard...
(laughing)
-
Ah Shift + 7.
-
Ah yeah.
-
And...
-
you go to--
-
so this is called a--
-
speed index.
-
This is a speed index
of item of Berlin,
-
and you see in the past 40 months
-
it went from 90---
-
which is defined as--
let me read it out loud.
-
The speed index is the average time
of a visible part
-
of a page or display.
-
It's express in miliseconds
-
and depends on the site of--
-
So it used to be around
-
1 second for item of Berlin.
-
Now it's around 800 milliseconds,
-
and this happens not just
on item of Berlin,
-
but all items and not just on all items--
plus all images and comments.
-
All of them got better
-
for 200 miliseconds.
-
(whistles)
(auidence) Woo hoo!
-
(applause)
-
Hi everyone.
-
So you may remember
from a previous presentation the Hub,
-
which is a tool to browse the web
with URLs
-
going through Wikidata
as the hub.
-
So you could do things like
going from [inaudible] identifier
-
to some other identifier.
-
I don't remember what P9,
1,9,3,8 is... (laughing)
-
but, yeah... Gutenberg. (laughs)
-
So... (laughing)
-
So yeah if you know
those identifiers,
-
you can go from somewhere
to somewhere else,
-
and, well, do different things.
-
Go from like can resolve...
-
Twitter username on Wikidata
-
and get redirected to the closest
to Wikipedia article.
-
But not that--
-
not that many people use
URLs to browse the web
-
so I thought if people don't
come to the tools
-
the tools come to them,
-
and so I did a little script,
-
and that you will find there at--
-
da da dum dum
-
This on meta
which basically takes the identifiers...
-
from the Hub
-
to bring them
to your Wikipedia article.
-
So, if you add the gadgets
-
you will have a page
that will,
-
instead of having just those few
things on the side bar,
-
because it's not enough
to browse the web.
-
You will have a collection
of... (laughing)
-
additional links (laughs)
-
to all over the web,
and so here you will find, for example--
-
(grunts)
-
So this is the page for Berlin
-
and you will have, for example,
-
Berlin on an open street map,
-
Berlin on Quora,
-
Berlin on Swedish Anbytarforum.
(laughing)
-
Anything and so all those
convenience links
-
added to every page
that can be resolved
-
to a Wikidata identifier.
-
Thank you.
-
(applause)
-
So I didn't understand
at the beginning quite much
-
the format of this thing.
(laughing)
-
So I just smuggled inside
-
And I will try to improvise a lot.
-
So...
-
No.
-
(audience) It's loading.
-
It's loading? Okay.
-
So... oh yeah it's maybe only a bit slow.
-
So, I mean there is a lot of data
in Wikipedia...
-
so a lot of text which contains
-
in fact information
that you could add to Wikidata,
-
but it's sometimes difficult to find,
-
or difficult to import
so what we did is
-
we used the latest machine
learning algorithm
-
to given a class, for example,
-
newspapers,
-
check which are the newspapers--
-
sorry the most used properties
from newspapers
-
like the owner, the publication date,
-
the language,
-
and we are going to the corresponding--
-
if the statement is missing
-
in the Wikidata item,
-
we are going to the Wikipedia page
-
and we're searching automatically
for this missing statement,
-
and we are proposing to the user
a new fact.
-
So the user has just to say
yes or no
-
to this new fact,
and import it to WIkidata.
-
So, unfortunately,
this web page is too big
-
to load or the internet connection
is too slow.
-
So I'm sorry for that
but we will make a tweet soon,
-
and launch this tool,
-
and I think it would be a very good tool
to very quickly add
-
a lot of statements in WIkidata
about entities
-
that you are not even aware of.
-
Okay. Thank you very much.
I'm sorry for...
-
(applause)
-
How do I get back to the page?
-
Yes. So one thing that I did
earlier this year to--
-
and it's called the Revamp
of Wiki Loves Monuments in Brazil
-
which was the most successful
Wiki Loves Monuments
-
that's happened in Brazil
[inaudible]
-
is create this little box here.
-
So this is pulling information
from Wikidata.
-
It's replacing the old style
monument IDs
-
on Commons which is [inaudible].
-
So it pulls everything from Wikidata,
multilingual of course.
-
You need to define the Q id
in this case,
-
but one thing that changed today,
thank you very much
-
to the Structured Data on Commons team,
-
is that they're been able
to Lua access
-
to Structured Data on Commons.
-
(audience) Yeah!
(applause)
-
It's fantastic.
-
So now what you can do
is you can say,
-
this picture of telescopes--
sorry I like telescopes--
-
and has Mark II Telescope
and Lovell Telescope in the U.K.,
-
and if you go to the file information,
-
and edit the page,
-
you will see that that--
-
sorry you probably can't see it so easily.
-
You just need to do Monument ID/SDC
-
and you get that information
automatically
-
through the Structured Data on Commons.
-
I think this is the first template
-
that I can actually do this so--
-
and because it's only
become available today.
-
So thank you very much
to Structured Data on Commons.
-
(applause)
-
Do we have anyone else
who would like to present something?
-
If not, then thank you so much
just for awesome presents.
-
Thank you so much for putting
all the time in to them.
-
They were really great.
-
(applause)
