User:So9q/Tool ideas/ImproveWikidata
Improve Wikidata (code, workboard with user stories) is a Python REPL TUI made by So9q that reads from a rule-directory with json-files and semi-automatically edits Wikidata. It's design is based on KISS and YAGNI principles.
In essence it is a TUI frontend to WikibaseIntegrator, that enables users to share json rules using git or other measures and collaborate on editing Wikidata in a semi-automatic way in the terminal with as little hassle as possible.
It could be used to semi-automate an import into Wikidata where many user collaborate simultaneously.
Rules[edit]
v1[edit]
The format of time is the one Wikidata uses ie. "+2021-01-18T07:38:02Z".
Top level is a dictionary of keys. Valid keys are:
- target
- add
- remove
target[edit]
Is a dictionary that has two valid keys:
- sparql :: a query in it's entirety
- predobj :: a list of predicates and objects used to construct a sparql query, see [1]
- narrow :: (optional) list of predobj that narrows down the query
This dictionary has to contain either a sparql query or a predobj list with at least one member to be valid. If a sparql key is found the predobj and narrow in the same dictionary are ignored.
predobj[edit]
List containing:
- p :: sparql predicate string without prefix, e.g. "P1"
- plabel :: dictionary of predicate labels for increased readability of rules
- o :: sparql object string without prefix, e.g. "Q1"
- olabel :: dictionary of object labels for increased readability of rules
- oformat :: can be one of "time", "coordinate", "url", "quantity", "string". For urls, strings and quantities it can be omitted as they are autodetected.
Note: the oformat is subject to get additional values. Move values could include those used by wikibaseintegrator.
add[edit]
List of predobj dictionaries with added support for qualifiers and references:
- p :: sparql predicate string without prefix, e.g. "P1"
- plabel :: dictionary of predicate labels for increased readability of rules
- o :: sparql object string without prefix, e.g. "Q1"
- olabel :: dictionary of object labels for increased readability of rules
- oformat :: can be one of "time", "coordinate". For strings and quantities it can be omitted.
- qualifiers :: list of predobj specifying qualifiers
- references :: list of predobj specifying references, each reference can have qualifiers.
remove[edit]
Same as add, but the object is removed instead of added. If a qualifier or reference is specified only the specified qualifier or reference on the object will be removed, not the object itself.
Examples[edit]
Adding a statement without a reference[edit]
Example adding trade union operative area: Sweden for Swedish trade unions that are missing it.
