Today I very happily archived a #GitHub repository of mine because a #GitLab fork of it is much more actively maintained. Goodbye little repo! And thanks to Paul and @lozross for giving it a new home :) https://gitlab.com/nfdi4culture/ta1-data-enrichment/openrefine-wikibase

@despens at the learning program for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. He points towards decentralized, federated databases with culturally appropriate standards and communities, augmenting each other. #Wikibase https://rhizome.org/editorial/2022/apr/19/community-centered-knowledge-management/

@edsu @nilsreichert We have an idea about what researchers, in particular historians, want to know, and through the @wbstakeholders have some impression about what other places that use LOD hear from their users. SPARQL is simple, but if you need to connect too many nodes to get basic info (such as person→birth_event→start_time instead of person→date_of_birth) you won't see as much adoption, internally and externally. 1/2

In December Dennis Diefenbach (The QA Company) presented the tool WikibaseSync for https://linkedopendata.eu. We discussed federation & entity reuse, pros and cons of both approaches. We finished our last meeting in 2021 with big plans for 2022: workshops & new extensions. (12/12)🎆

Our first public meeting took place at WikidataCon 2021. In our Miro board we clarified the priorities and action points for future Wikibase development work. This helped us formulate core institutional requirements for Wikibase. https://pretalx.com/wdcon21/talk/PPYGSC (10/12)
Open meeting of the Wikibase Stakeholder Group and interactive roadmapping session WikidataCon 2021

The Wikibase Stakeholder Group (WBSG) commissions production and maintenance of open source extensions to Wikibase, and documentation for institutions that want to operate and maintain a fully-fledged instance of Wikibase. Representative members of the WBSG will hold an open forum session. This session will introduce the group to the broader Wikibase and Wikidata community by presenting the group’s members, its governance structure, and goals. In addition, we will hold an open discussion over the group’s roadmap for technical developments. Attendees of the session will have a chance to learn more about the workings of the group, and enquire about membership if interested. Following this introduction, existing members will have a chance to discuss development projects planned by the Group and get feedback from the broader Wikidata and Wikibase community. The interactive part of the session will involve publicly-shared notetaking and brainstorming tools which will be open to all attendees to view and comment on.

In September we learned a lot from Andra Waagmeester’s talk on classic RDF-based federation. We discussed the meaning of federation, the formatter URL/URI, WikibaseManifest and “sameAs” & “exactMatch” native support for Wikibase.
