Feedback loops with data re-users[edit]

Objective:

We want to build feedback loops with data re-users to get them actively involved in improving the data on Wikidata.

Description:

We are developing the Mismatch Finder as a base for setting up these feedback loops.

Upcoming Activities:

Work with data re-users and researchers to get mismatches to load into the Mismatch Finder

Make adjustments to the Mismatch Finder based on feedback we are receiving on the first version

Discussions[edit]

New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)
