Salut Tpt, where can I find open tasks for the Freebase --> Wikidata mapping + import?
Topic on User talk:Tpt
Hello Sam.
There is no bug/task tracker for the Freebase --> Wikidata mapping. The project is currently on hold. The source code and explanations on how the mapping is done are here: https://github.com/google/freebase-wikidata-converter
For the Primary Sources tool (the UI on Wikidata) there is a dashboard in Phabricator and a big rewriting project is currently in progress. I'm planning to run the mapping scripts again when this rewriting will be done.
Thanks Tpt -- we're talking about this and your good early work at Wikimania at the moment :)
Some of us want to help, are you blocking on any of those dashboard tasks?
I can help update the wiki page w/notes on how non-devs can support the mapping scripts or make progress once they are done.
Hello Sam,
The tasks I see are:
- Finish and deploy the version 2 of the Primary Sources Tool, because version 1 is bad and buggy and so make data proofreading very painful. But it's not for everyone.
- Work on the Wikidata:Freebase#How_to_help tasks (way easier. Many thanks to HeavyTony (talk • contribs • logs) for his work on the property mapping).
- Run again the exportation scripts and update the content of Primary Sources or import some data using bot (it's probably hard to get into this part, I could do it myself if some people are planning to use the data).
- Maybe import safe parts of the big Freebase mapping into Wikidata (big dump). Maybe this mapping could be completed now that Wikidata has more items.
Great, thanks. I wasn't sure that todo list was still valid because the page had been archived.
Does rerunning the export need to wait for the PST update?
I get a 502 error trying to access the big dump...
I could definitely update the current database. It's imho only worth it if the v2 deployment is not for this summer.
The 502 error should be fixed now, I restarted the tool webserver.
Thanks! How to estimate timeline of the v2 deployment?
I am not working on PrimarySources at the moment. The head of the PrimarySources v2 project is Hjfocs (talk • contribs • logs). He would be much more in a position to say anything about than me.
