I have been developing a bilingual #Wikibase for archive name authority control. The aim was to create a #linkeddata space managed and controlled by archivists and trusted researchers, to act as a bridge between our internal data about people and places and the rich network of 3rd party data on Wikidata and beyond.

It's still a bit rough around the edges but feel free to take a look!

New #blog post describes how I shut down the #Wikibase Registry and replaced it with Wikibase World, including the process of meticulously mapping the old identifiers with the new ones. Useful if you want to shut down an old Wikibase and migrate it somewhere else.

Domain names are not #PersistentIdentifiers; their referent can change over time as people stop paying for domains and new owners come in.

The Internet Domains #Wikibase is an editable database tracking domain names, datasets regarding them, and other features like their ownership over time.

As an example, see this newly created item on the domain "x.com" https://domains.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q312716 #Twitter #X

Oooh there is a #Wikibase and #reconciliation blog post by @Addshore and I could not agree more with the conclusions! https://addshore.com/2023/07/wikibase-and-reconciliation/ @wbstakeholders @WikibaseCommunity @wikidata #Wikidata #OpenRefine

Bonus:
If anyone is interested in federating #wikibase [ #wikipedia, #wikidata etc. pp.] more, take a look at the work for inventaire.io

For a #Fediverse client to call cabs in DE, we made an #ActivityPub Atlas of the 1.9 mio. `Place` from wikidata and mapped it with OSM.
Or come by @ https://fedi.camp

@pintoch @daieuxetdailleurs Comme dit sur l'aspect technique je ne sais pas en juger, je pointe plutôt ce que ça laisse entendre "Un scénario visait à proposer un projet alternatif basé sur la construction, a posteriori de la production, d’une base de données agrégative." et même cela n'est pas possible. Pourtant un long POC sur #Wikibase avait déjà été fait. Si je suis pessimiste je me dis qu'on rêve de faire des bases qui ne sont pas encore possible ?

@macgraveur @daieuxetdailleurs #Wikibase n'est pas franchement une solution pour la fédération/décentralisation: les fonctionnalités qui vont dans ce sens sont encore assez expérimentales et récentes. Aucune idée si les alternatives sont meilleures à ce point de vue mais ça me semble difficile de dire qu'abandonner Wikibase est un pas vers la production en silo.

@egonw Seems a bit overkill: who's going to to crosslink proprietary identifiers other than Wikidata? (They could even be personal data, so it helps to have some indication of notability to override that.)

But maybe someone who's already collecting them (or has and doesn't mind losing #TwitterAPI access) could try #Wikibase (https://socialblade.com ?). Waive the #DatabaseRights on the SPARQL endpoint and see how long it takes until the source of 99 % of the PD data sues. Useful precedent!

@wikidata
If anyone is in Germany in July, come to https://fedi.camp - currently preparing board game cards for a workshop. Then we can sketch how #wikidata #wikibase and #ActivityPub can play together. Or let's have a virtual event around that.
PS
AP Confs are here https://redaktor.me/ and in the morning very much enjoyed this nice interview about the redesign https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2023/06/behind-curtains-wikipedia-redesign/

How should #OpenRefine display errors when uploading data to #Wikibase? Would it work for you if they were included in a dedicated column in the project?

The Biblissima iconography thesaurus of #BNF (https://bartoc.org/en/node/20432) has been published in #SKOS this month. It is managed in a #Wikibase instance! https://data.biblissima.fr/

Manually reposting from
@wikidatatw@liker.social :

World’s biggest @wikidata event #Wikidatacon is now calling for proposals!

Five different URIs referring to `skos:exactMatch` on #Wikibase World. Who wants to add another URI to join the Exact Match Club? https://wikibase.world/wiki/Property:P4

I have imported the contents of the old #Wikibase Registry and wrote queries for reviewing this data.

@daieuxetdailleurs Quelle classe d'avoir sa propre cotation en Fi, la #Wikibase des photos de ses ancêtres et la dataviz qui va avec ! 😍
Mais aussi quel boulot de dingue 👏

[#Web3MW] "Mordue de #Wikidata, elle décide de gérer sa #photothèque #genealogie en #Wikibase"...
Il y a encore plein de choses à créer, importer, stabiliser, améliorer (notamment le manifest #openrefine) ... Mais j'adore déjà le résultat

I have launched "Wikibase World," a spiritual successor to the #Wikibase Registry: a Wikibase of Wikibases. Contributions welcome: https://wikibase.world/wiki/Project:Home
