Operator: Sharmeelaashwin (talk • contribs • logs)
Task/s: Bot which talks to EaaS(Emulation-as-Service) to store and retrieve the rendering software and OS for a file format. This helps in opening the files used in Digital Preservation
Code:
Function details: It contains following APIs:
- . This Bot contains an API to store the file formats in WikiData. This API will be called when the user decides to save this file format information in EaaS
- . This Bot contains an API to read the rendering software's information from WikiData to open the file formats in EaaS

- Which statements do you plan to add? As far as I know there isn't yet a "rendering software" property. --Pasleim (talk) 19:40, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I would like to add a new page which stores all these information(file format, rendering software and environment). When an user opens a file format with a particular software, we will store this information in Wikidata and when another user tries to open the same file, we will fetch data from Wikidata and open the file with the software name retrieved from Wikidata. I will also store the environment(OS and dependent softwares) information in Wikidata. --Sharmeelaashwin (talk) 11:08, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- There is readable file format (P1072), but I don't quite see how you'd store here which one gets used if several render the same format.

- How much data do you plan to add? ChristianKl (talk) 07:20, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Jura: "Readable file format" stores the list of file formats that can be opened in a software. I would like to do just the opposite i.e, if I have a file format, I would like to have a list of softwares that can open this file format and also the OS. This has the following advantages
- If a user tries to open a file is EaaS(Emulation as Service) application, then from the file format, EaaS can query Wikidata and get a list of softwares that can open the file requested by user.
- If any Wikidata user knows that a particular file format can be rendered by a software, then he/she can directly update it in Wikidata which is much easier when compared to updating it i@n PRONOM.
- @ChristianKl : I will manually add example items and let you know. In the initial phase I am intending to add a major file formats like .doc, .jpeg, .ppt, .tx but the final goal is to store all the file formats to be stored in Wikidata. I plan to create a table in a Wikidata page and keep updating the same. -- Sharmeelaashwin (talk) 09:16, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
