@umblaetterer @NanetteRissler I am one of the people behind this #Wikidata-based #ToolRegistry, which we argue addresses some of the major shortcomings of other approaches, famously coined the "Directory paradox" by @quinnanya . An article in which we lay out our argument and the design decisions will be forthcoming with DHQ (The preprint is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15094816).
And, rest assured, many Wikidata entries link to Open SSH Marketplace, Tapor and others.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework for open and community-curated tool registries, posing that such registries provide fundamental value to any field of research by acting as curated knowledge bases about a community’s past and current methodological practices as well as authority files for individual tools. This modular framework of a basic data model, SPARQL queries, bash scripts, and a prototypical web interface builds upon the well-established and open infrastructures of Wikimedia, GitLab, and Zenodo for creating, maintaining, sharing, curating, and archiving linked open data. We demonstrate the feasibility of this framework by introducing our concrete implementation of a tool registry for digital humanities, initially repurposing data from existing silos, such as TAPoR and the SSH Open Marketplace, and retaining the established TaDiRAH classification scheme while being open to communal editing in every aspect.
Was just watching a recording of the second day of #Wikimania in #Nairobi and happened on a #Wikidata presentation. A member of the audience suggested a tool registry to be implemented on top of Wikidata during the Q&A. As comments are disabled for the recordings (on YouTube), I would like to mention our modest effort at building exactly such a tool registry for the #DigitalHumanities.

@forTEXT we moved the #ToolRegistry, including Tapor and SSHOM, to #Wikidata.
Check it out!

@hermes_datenkompetenzzentrum we should talk! Wir haben im Rahmen von #4Memory eine #ToolRegistry in #Wikidata implementiert und pushen auch die notwendigen Infos für #FieldSurveys zu Wikidata. Wäre toll wenn sich die Initiativen ergänzen könnten. Gemeinsam. Offen. Dezentral
@CCeH yeah, another tool registry! Let’s see how they address @quinnanya ‘s directory paradox (https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/read/people-practice-power/section/ca87ec4c-23a0-452d-8595-7cfd7e8d6f0c##ch06). My uneducated guess: not at all.
📯 Neuer Blogpost! 📯
Auf der #DHd2024 stellten wir unser Projekt einer offenen, community-kuratierten #DH #ToolRegistry basierend auf #Wikidata vor, das vom @NFDI4Memory Methods Innovation Lab mit der Kompetenzwerkstatt DH der Universitätsbibliothek der HU entwickelt wurde.
Details dazu könnt ihr ab sofort auf unserem Blog nachlesen! 🤓

Isabell Trilling, Till Grallert, Jascha Schmitz In diesem Blogbeitrag wird das an der HU angesiedelte Projekt zur Erstellung eines offenen, community-kuratierten Werkzeugverzeichnisses für die Digital Humanities als Kollaboration von “Kompetenzwerkstatt Digital Humanities” (KDH) an der UB und des “Methods Innovation Lab” der NFDI4Memory am Lehrstuhl für Digital History vorgestellt. Das Projekt adressiert die fundamentalen Probleme … „Ob Werkzeugkoffer, Werkstatt oder Baumarkt: offene, community-kuratierte Tool Registries mit Wikidata“ weiterlesen
@cmboulanger Great list of resources!
You can easily check if some tool is part of our registry by running the query https://w.wiki/9TAe.
Inclusion into the #ToolRegistry currently works by linking a tool to a controlled list of methods through the "has use" Property. This list implements the #TaDiRAH taxonomy and can be viewed through https://w.wiki/9T9R.
Some tools from your list, such as Gephy and Cytoscape, are already part of the #ToolRegistry. Others, such as NodeGoat, have not been linked to a method supported by TaDiRAH.
[edit: updated link to results of SPARQL query to include more results]
#DigitalHumanities hive-mind, does anyone know if people from the #TaPOR and #DARIAH tool registries are on this platform? we are currently working on reconciling and linking their data-sets to #Wikidata and it would be great to get in touch through informal channels.
I am also writing emails for the more formal query 🙂
