Advice: best practice data structures
Changing entities and cuts through time
The Publishing House of Moritz Georg Weidmann becomes eventually the Olms Verlag - if we treat this as one company - how do we create different references for different times? Books have different imprints decade after decade with changing owners who give the company names. Our system must be able to make sense of practically any imprint - and it should at the same moment understand how the changing imprint information is actually connected to one and the same company. Munich does not have 57 companies from 1500 to 1850 but six under changing names in this genealogy Münchner Buchhandel 1500–1850 - and this is an image we want to give on a clear sighted SPARQL-search.
- Should we create different items under each name and state how these items are related?
- Should we create one idem and state the changing names with begin/end information (sound better because a lot of information like the location might be stable)?
The same problem occurs with addresses. A city quarter can be torn down, the new quarter gets old street names - but are these still the same addresses? (They might have new geographic coordinates).
- Daran scheiden sich die Geister... Das ist ein klassisches Ontologieproblem. Man kann es so oder so machen. Denny könnte eine gute Person sein das mal für deinen genauen Fall durchzudiskutieren und zu schauen ob eins mehr Sinn macht. --User:Lydia Pintscher
What should we do with our 1500 transcripts of documents?
We have started to put the transcript of Item:Q22976 on D-Q22976. Was that a good idea? (we want the transcript to appear in full text search), yet we would rather have it on one page with all the meta data.
Could the reasonator (as a standard unser interface) grab transpripts from such wiki pages?
Could we use the Wikisource extension to offer scans side by side?
- Ich kenne mich leider mit Wikisource nicht aus. Tpt (thomas@pellissier-tanon.fr) hat davon und von Wikidata sehr viel Ahnung und kann wahrscheinlich am sinnvollsten was sagen. --User:Lydia Pintscher
Scholia
Daniel Mietchen hinted at Scholia https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/ and how that could change many of our problems. We could here use a software solution that embeds SPARQL queries. It could also embed the transcripts of texts which we have to present. We would basically decide how many sorts of database objects we have and compose templates of the searches they are supposed to embed. Question remains: who would compose this for us. (On the design front: it is not as cohesive as Magnus Manske's Reasonator.) --Olaf Simons (talk) 16:34, 27 November 2018 (CET)

Specific problems of our Wikibase Installation
"Item:Q123" or direct "Q123"
Unlike Wikidata FactGrid states Items as "Item:" in the URL. This might be the cause of incompatibilities as we see them in our Reasonator interface. (Reasonator apparently expects the Q123 link where we have the "Item"-link
- https://database.factgrid.de/reasonator/#/Q123 click the link into the database item to see the problem.
- Dafür habe ich dir ein Ticket aufgemacht: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223548 --User:Lydia Pintscher
In the headline of item pages that Item ID is shown, but not the name space, e.g. "human (Q7)". In the project name space the name space is shown "FactGrid:Troubleshooting Range", in the main name space and special name space it is not.
"Item:Q123" or "Item:123"
The "Q" is present in every item ID and therefore does not contain extra information. It should probably be removed. Also, it would be easier for international use to only have numbers in the item ID.
GND Identifiers do not link
See Item:Q133. Why does the GND number not linkt to the GND as in Wikidata?
We have the same problem with PND book numbers that should refer into to GBV catalogue.
Dafür habe ich dir ein Ticket aufgemacht: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223552 --User:Lydia Pintscher
Wikidata has a function that allows quoting items via {{}} template, can we do that as well?
- We can set a Q123 link (that refers to a non existing page.
- We can set an Item:Q123 link - and sometimes we get the title on the ink - but not necessarily (works wel after moving a page and ends after saving it again)
- A {{}} template does not work.
- Hast du ein Beispiel auf Wikidata, wo es so funktioniert wie du es haben willst? Dann schau ich es mir an. Das sollte gehen. --User:Lydia Pintscher
Description 250 character limit
Many imports failed since they had descriptions of more than 250 signs. Daniel Mietchen said we can modify the character limits on our own Wikibase instance - would be good to allow perhaps 500-1000 characters.
- Die Descriptions sind vor allem zur Disambiguierung gedacht zum Beispiel im Suchfeld rechts oben oder wenn du ein anderes Item in einem Statement verlinkst um sicherzustellen dass du den richtigen Fritz Müller auswählst wenn es 10 davon gibt. Deshalb sind die sehr kurz gehalten und die Beschränkung ist von unserer Seite aus gewollt bisher. Kannst du etwas genauer erklären was du machen willst mit den Descriptions und was da rein soll? Vielleicht ist es besser als ein Statement aufgehoben aber das kann ich noch nicht sagen.
- Soweit ich weiß ist das im Moment nicht konfigurierbar. --User:Lydia Pintscher
Time: Hours and Minutes cannot be stated
We could actually give events (like conference papers) on individual days. The software has the option but it does not work in Wikidata or on our platform.
- Die Eingabe von genauen Zeiten ist noch nicht möglich weil das eine Menge Komplexität mit Zeitzonen mit sich bringt. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T57755 ist das Ticket dafür. Dem müssen wir uns mal annehmen. --User:Lydia Pintscher
Time: Format
Currently it says on the bottom of that page "This page was last edited on 6 July 2019, at 18:05." and on in the history "18:05, 6 July 2019" - two different formats no statement found what for. Furthermore in the FG blog and other places formats based on ISO 8601 appear. Proposal: standardize on ISO 8601.
Time: Seconds not shown in page history
In the contributions lists seconds are not shown, so one cannot see in which order edits have been made, even worse, a change that is labeled "current" comes before another one on the same page:
18:05, 6 July 2019 (diff | hist) . . (+236) . . FactGrid:Troubleshooting Range (→"Item:Q123" or "Item:123") 17:50, 6 July 2019 (diff | hist) . . (+63) . . Example (Q...) (Added [en] description: human) 17:50, 6 July 2019 (diff | hist) . . (+64) . . Example (Q...) (Added [de] description: Mensch) (current) 17:49, 6 July 2019 (diff | hist) . . (+1) . . Property talk:P163 (...)
pdf and other uploads
that should be a switch in the LocalSettings but might also be a database issue to be resolved in Erfurt:
Uploads fail with this note >Could not open lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/6/65/test.jpg".<
- Bin nicht sicher was da das Problem ist. Da kannst du Lucas glaube ich kurz ansprechen und ihn fragen ob das was ist was im Rechenzentrum gemacht werden muss oder in den Einstellungen. --User:Lydia Pintscher
Wikidata context help when creating an entry not available on FactGrid
Wikidata offers complex context help when users want to create items like a biography - questions one would like to answer as well. Can we have the same?
- Da weiß ich nicht was du meinst leider. --User:Lydia Pintscher
Ich gebe hier eine Person ein und Wikidata is in der Lage mir die relevanten nächsten Aussagen vorzuschlagen - das ist eigentlich weit besser als ein Formular zu erstellen (wie wir das zuerst vorhatten). Kann man die Vorschläge lenken? Kann man einen Vorschlagpfad generieren? Wenn Du eine Persion hast, dann geht es mit diesen Fragen los. Wenn die schon beantwortet sind, dann gehe mit folgenden weiter... Bei uns jedenfalls erscheint bei Eröffnung einer neuen Aussage kein Vorschlag in irgendeine Richtung. --Olaf Simons (talk) 08:42, 23 May 2019 (CEST)
Commons images not displayed on FactGrid-Item Views
...though we can integrate them in Wiki pages we create - the item-pages won't offer them.
- Hast du ein Beispiel das ich mir anschauen kann? --User:Lydia Pintscher
Foreign Language Labels
Our database is on English as the default language. Those who feed data into the base are - presently - mostly German. An English label is visible and searchable in German. Can we have the same additionally vice versa: i.e. that a missing English label is automatically substituted by an existing German label?
- Da bin ich mir nicht sicher. Muss ich rausfinden. --User:Lydia Pintscher
SPARQL Script Requests
QueryService gives January 1 as default answer for full year dates
If we give a full year (e.g. on "date of birth") the Query Service will state January 1 as the date instead of leaving the day and month unspecified.
- Das Ticket dazu ist https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T159160. Ich weiß leider gerade nicht was da der letzte Diskussionsstand ist. --User:Lydia Pintscher
QueryService gives output with wd:Q123 numbers
though the links do actually go into the FactGrid resource. This problem occurs on all levels: our Q-numbers are displayed in SPARQL searches as wd numbers. Tiny-urls open when activated with a Wikidata welcome page before we get the FactGrid results: http://tinyurl.com/y8zwjosq
- Der erste Teil ist glaube ich https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T194180. Ich habe ein Ticket für den zweiten Teil aufgemacht: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223582. --User:Lydia Pintscher
QueryService example searches are actually Wikidata searches
...and do not help you on our database.
- Das ist seit kurzem konfigurierbar. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223586 habe ich aufgemacht um das für Factgrid zu konfigurieren. --User:Lydia Pintscher
Weird Results No.1
The following search should show us where Gotha's bakers were living
works fine with the master bakers but here the same on merchants with a totally messy result...
- Ich habe keine Ahnung. Lucas könnte helfen. --User:Lydia Pintscher
Weird Results No.2
We are trying to step from "given names" as string Property:P88 to given names as individual items Property:P248. In order to get the names which we have to change we need a search for all P88 names with place in sequence information Property:P101 information. Our searches fail:
- list all the names which are registred as strings and note the place in sequence
- different search script now with weird link-statements
- Ich habe keine Ahnung. Lucas könnte helfen. --User:Lydia Pintscher
Tools/features one would like to have
Our Reasonator as Standard Interface
We would like to offer our Reasonator-Installation as standard interface for people who are just looking for information. So far it does not really seem to work...
One of the problems is that our instance looks for Item:Q969 instead of Q969
- Das genannte Problem können wir hoffentlich mit dem Ticket von 2.1. lösen. --User:Lydia Pintscher
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223548 Ticket gelöst, klappt aber dennoch nicht.
A tool to grab and import (selected) Wikidata information
If we have data on a FactGrid Item on Wikidate - could on think of a tool that can be used to grab these data as a set and to convert selected statements into FactGrid statements?
A multilingual interface to just offer information
The ideal development would be an additional tab on all wikibase-items. If you search for "Johann Sebastian Bach" you get a person's page that extracts information from the J.S. Bach data set and through additional searches. Bach's works will be listed on request - not from the information the specific Q-item is providing but from a database search: list all items with Bach as composer. List all documents with J.S. Bach as author. List all documents with J.S. Bach as receiver... Users get these lists only on request. The J.S. Bach display tells us that we can run this search and feed the information under the present header.
An option to feed information into historical maps
One would love to offer links to Gotha addresses of different centuries and decades and one would have to use different maps for this purpose. Gotha today has housing areas for about 50.000 inhabitants. Gotha in 1800 ended basically with the city walls that were just torn down. We do not yet have the expertise to present visual information on maps other than the default Open Street Map interface.
A recipe how to create Info-Boxes based on FactGrid Information
We need these Boxes for pages like this one (imported from our old Wiki): Q6611. The header information on author, title, source etc., is here handwritten so far. The cool solution will be a standard table with central metadata from the respective data set (of the same Q-number), so that changes of information will only be done in the database and spread from there to pages.
- Das sollte jemand gut machen können der sich mit MediaWiki Templateprogrammierung und Wikidata auskennt. --User:Lydia Pintscher
Requests for search scripts
It would be interesting to get an idea of organisations and their vicinity or adversity - also: their potential to succeed each other.
Cumulative personal Timeline
A cumulative timeline that which pieces together all the information we have on a person: Documents by this person per day, letters sent to this person, mentionings, meetings he/she took part in, events he/she witnessed etc.
Specific FactGrid wishes
Logo
Important in joint ventures.
Skin
Important gain a more independent position in the eyes of university, library and archive people.
We would need someone with Skin expertise...
An interface to move the The Gotha Illuminati Research Base into the FactGrid
The The Gotha Illuminati Research Base was/is a conventional media wiki and we should win a superior functionality here on the FactGrid.
- Old media-wiki https://projekte.uni-erfurt.de/illuminaten/Main_Page
- New (and we are still looking for a better concept here on FactGrid): https://database.factgrid.de/wiki/The_Gotha_Illuminati_Research_Base
A clearer idea of how we would like to be quoted
FactGrid datasets have specific research statements - but how do we want them to be referred to in footnotes? See Item:Q11305
Website security
https://observatory.mozilla.org/analyze/database.factgrid.de : "D-", CSP, HSTS, XFO, XSS missing.
Data we should like to have
- Matrikel of German universities
- Logis-Verzeichnisse Göttinger Studenten (halbjährlich)
