Wikidata:WikiProject Invasion biology/Task Force Hi Knowledge

From Wikidata
Jump to navigation Jump to search

About[edit]

This Task Force assists in integrating Wikidata with the Hi Knowledge platform that hosts structured information on key hypotheses in invasion biology, enriched with information between these hypotheses and between them and related pieces of information, like specific publications, datasets or research questions.

The integration is taking place in close collaboration with WikiProject Invasion biology and WikiProject Philosophy as well as with WikiProject Datasets, WikiProject Data Quality and the WikiCite initiative, particularly its Wikidata home at WikiProject Source MetaData.

Two approaches are being pursued for visualizing the integrated knowledge: Scholia and Open Knowledge Maps.

Activities[edit]

Data modeling[edit]

Key elements of invasion biology — species, habitats, ecological factors and changes thereof — as well as the components of Hi Knowledge — chiefly hypotheses, research questions, publications and datasets — need to be represented in Wikidata in a consistent fashion that will then form the basis for building tools to assist in the process.

Elements of invasion biology[edit]

These will be modeled in collaboration with WikiProject Invasion biology as well as with WikiProject Biology and documented there.

Taxa[edit]

Taxa will be modeled following practices established by WikiProject Taxonomy and documented there.

Habitats[edit]

Habitats are not yet modeled as such in Wikidata, and WikiProject Ecology is not functional yet, so initial data modeling will take place here but the intention would be that it would move over there eventually.

Ecological interactions[edit]

Only some ecological interactions are currently modeled as such in Wikidata, and WikiProject Ecology is not functional yet, so initial data modeling and documentation will take place here but the intention would be that it would move over there eventually.

Ecosystem dynamics[edit]

Habitats are not yet modeled as such in Wikidata, and WikiProject Ecology is not functional yet, so initial data modeling will take place here but the intention would be that it would move over there eventually, in coordination with related initiatives like Wikidata:WikiProject Climate Change.

Hi Knowledge components[edit]

Hypotheses[edit]

Main item: hypothesis (Q41719)  View with Reasonator View with SQIDView profile on Scholia: proposed explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem

Hypotheses will be modeled in collaboration with WikiProject Philosophy — see documentation there.

Research questions[edit]

Research questions will be modeled in collaboration with WikiProject Invasion biology and WikiProject Philosophy, with initial documentation taking place here. A simple but not very precise way to get a list of research questions is to look for publications with question words and question marks in their titles, e.g. as per

The following query uses these:

  • Properties: title (P1476)  View with Reasonator View with SQID
    SELECT 
  DISTINCT
  ?item ?title

WHERE {
  hint:Query hint:optimizer "None".
  
{  SERVICE wikibase:mwapi {
    bd:serviceParam wikibase:api "Search";
                    wikibase:endpoint "www.wikidata.org";
                    mwapi:srsearch "\"why\" the haswbstatement:P31=Q13442814".
      ?page_title wikibase:apiOutput mwapi:title.
  }
 }
UNION
{  SERVICE wikibase:mwapi {
    bd:serviceParam wikibase:api "Search";
                    wikibase:endpoint "www.wikidata.org";
                    mwapi:srsearch "\"why\" -the haswbstatement:P31=Q13442814".
      ?page_title wikibase:apiOutput mwapi:title.
  }
 }
  BIND(IRI(CONCAT(STR(wd:), ?page_title)) AS ?item)
  
  ?item wdt:P1476 ?title.
  FILTER REGEX(LCASE(?title), "why").
  FILTER REGEX(LCASE(?title), "\\?").
  FILTER REGEX(LCASE(?title), "invasi(on|ve)").

}
Try it!
Publications[edit]

Publications will be modeled as suggested by WikiProject Source MetaData — see documentation there.

Publications about invasion biology[edit]

See the Scholia links in the following list.

Publications about hypotheses[edit]
Datasets[edit]

Datasets will be modeled in collaboration with WikiProject Datasets — see documentation there.

Lexemes[edit]

Words, phrases and technical terms relevant to hypotheses in invasion biology will also be handled. The idea here is to facilitate the creation and curation of suitable Wikidata lexemes (see Wikidata:Lexicographical data) as well as the linking between lexemes and items, e.g. to facilitate activities like semantic annotation or entity recognition.

Properties[edit]

Based on the data models, a set of Wikidata properties will be defined as being in scope of the Task Force, and workflows will be built around them to facilitate curation of the properties and of items where they are being used. Whenever a suitable WikiProject exists, priority will be given to document things there. Should this not be the case, documentation will take place here.

Communication channels[edit]

We will start by using the Discussion page of WikiProject Invasion biology, i.e. Wikidata talk:WikiProject Invasion biology.

Queries[edit]

As the project develops, we will build queries to monitor progress and to facilitate exploration of invasion biology knowledge via this fledgling resource.

Participants[edit]

Funding[edit]

The integration between Hi Knowledge and Wikidata is supported by the VolkswagenStiftung as part of the enKORE grant (grant number 97863), which runs from September 2021 until February 2024.
