Motivation[edit]
Connect Wikidata to the Microsoft Academic Knowledge Graph. Like the proposals above for Dimensions properties, this will help to disambiguate authors and identify related items. Microsoft Academic (Q28136779) is free and offers API access to the graph. Simon Cobb (User:Sic19 ; talk page) 06:41, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
Support David (talk) 07:14, 19 November 2018 (UTC)- Support I didn't know they had such id's, that sounds useful. ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:55, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Oppose identifier scheme seems to be the same for all four proposals. Just make one for all four. --- Jura 08:25, 20 November 2018 (UTC)- Support very interested to see how this compares with our existing institution ids for scholarly affiliations. Having distinct identifiers for each type is good practice and will help enforce more meaningful constraints, keep track of coverage for each type, add third-party resolvers which might only work for a given type. − Pintoch (talk) 11:56, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
- I suppose you mean properties, not identifiers. No it's not good practice to split an identifier among different properties merely because one doesn't want to use complex constraints. --- Jura 09:04, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
Comment looks like the website is having issues - all the examples lead to error pages for me (for a few days at least) − Pintoch (talk) 22:26, 25 November 2018 (UTC)- Comment The Power of Semantic Search: between the Top 10 Institutions in Philosophy, Bosch is the 6th and Siemens the 7th. --Gerwoman (talk) 10:13, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
