There’s a new #OpenStreetMap website feature related to #Wikidata!
When viewing objects in OSM that have a Wikidata tag, you can now click the Wikidata icon to turn the opaque QID values into human-readable info (plus a link to Wikipedia if any).

Data Work in Memory Institutions: Why and How Information Professionals Use Wikidata
Wikidata, an open structured database and a sibling project to Wikipedia, has recently become an important platform for information professionals to share structured metadata from their memory institutions, organizations that maintain public knowledge and cultural heritage materials. While studies have investigated why and how peer producers contribute to Wikidata, the institutional motivations and practices of these organizations are less understood. Given Wikidata's potential role in linking …

In our last #ISE2025 lecture last week, we were discussing what makes a node "important" in a knowledge graph. A simple heuristics can be borrowed from graph theory or communication theory: Degree Centrality
Interestingly, in Wikidata In-degree centrality states Jane Austen to be to most "important" female author, while Out-degree centrality claims J.K. Rowling as being…

Explicit vs. Implicit Biographies: Evaluating and Adapting LLM Information Extraction on Wikidata-Derived Texts

Explicit vs. Implicit Biographies: Evaluating and Adapting LLM Information Extraction on Wikidata-Derived Texts
Text Implicitness has always been challenging in Natural Language Processing (NLP), with traditional methods relying on explicit statements to identify entities and their relationships. From the sentence "Zuhdi attends church every Sunday", the relationship between Zuhdi and Christianity is evident for a human reader, but it presents a challenge when it must be inferred automatically. Large language models (LLMs) have proven effective in NLP downstream tasks such as text comprehension and infor…

We need more people from Wikidata on the fediverse, we got some people...but we need more.
Yay to linked data
Yay to fediverse people bragging about their Wikidata edits like I do!

Is SHACL Suitable for Data Quality Assessment?

Is SHACL Suitable for Data Quality Assessment?
Knowledge graphs have been widely adopted in both enterprises, such as the Google Knowledge Graph, and open platforms like Wikidata to represent domain knowledge and support analysis with artificial intelligence. They model real-world information as nodes and edges. To embrace flexibility, knowledge graphs often lack enforced schemas (i.e., ontologies), leading to potential data quality issues, such as semantically overlapping nodes. Therefore, ensuring their quality is essential, as issues in …

is this the new #wikidata timeout error message or is it different from the usual one?

I can imagine a Wikipedian moving to Wikidata...
While on Wikipedia
MY GOD YOU REVERTED ME AGAIN FOR NO REASON.
OK, YOUR FAULT BUT I'M MOVING TO WIKIDATA NOW!!!
...after moving to Wikidata
OMG, NOBODY IS REVERTING ME!!! I FEEL SO ALONE AND MY ONLY FRIENDS ARE ALL THESE PROPERTIES AND VALUES

Quotegraph: A Social Network Extracted from Millions of News Quotations
We introduce Quotegraph, a novel large-scale social network derived from speaker-attributed quotations in English news articles published between 2008 and 2020. Quotegraph consists of 528 thousand unique nodes and 8.63 million directed edges, pointing from speakers to persons they mention. The nodes are linked to their corresponding items in Wikidata, thereby endowing the dataset with detailed biographic entity information, including nationality, gender, and political affiliation. Being derived…

When I'm reading pages on Wikidata like Christian Frates (Q47691741) I'm thinking somebody should make a "social media version" of WikiBase/Wikidata and let people on social media sites like Mastodon and the larger fediverse put themselves into 100% data to be searchable in sparql.
Wikidata would be thankful!
Then I could add "shoppingtonz" Aka "100%/0% TAX" Aka "Lord Gold"(just came up with it)

I can't believe someone made a post with the hashtag (#)CatchyHashtag and then deleted their post...
I wanted to read that post!
As much as you'd like to say (#)Toot and invent new names for things...know this:
posts will always be posts and the fediverse won't have room for making up 1000 names that in any case will still link to the same goddamn Wikidata item cause
ITS THE SAME THING!

I hope I didn't have a Wikidata account cause I just created one.
Felon Musk did not turn up any results, it must have been vandalism.
