| === Creating items one by one === | | == I do not have a clue == |
| To create a single item go to "New Item" in the menue (left) and fill in the input mask. You need
| |
|
| |
|
| * a "label" - that is how your item is known and searched in the basic site search (input fiel right on top) | | * If you do not have a clue what this is all about read our blog's '''[https://blog.factgrid.de/archives/1591 FactGrid FAQ – Why should I use the FactGrid for my research project?]'''. |
| * a "description" which will help you to spot your item among others of the same name. If you create a person give * birth and + death dates, at least one place, an occupation or achievement. If your "item" is a document give a brief summary.
| |
|
| |
|
| You can add "aliasses" if your item shall become known under other name variants as well.
| | * If you are here with an account and need first help, click through the chapters above. |
|
| |
|
| === Creating larger numbers of items in a mass input via QuickStatements ===
| | * If you have never edited on a Wikibase platform start with your personal Item or create an Item for a person of your interest using the [[Special:NewItem|NewItem]] menu. Look at a more complex Item on FactGrid set like [[Item:Q1308|Adam Weishaupt]]'s. Once you have created your first triples you will understand what a mass input will do for you. |
| There are YouTube videos available that show how you create inputs with QuickStatements
| |
|
| |
|
| * https://youtu.be/L0TYQ9LRRTQ | | * If you have data for a mass input and wonder how to get started, put them into an open Google spreadsheet and invite the colleagues to help you. The '''[[FactGrid:Project chat]]''' is the forum where you can reach all the others on board. |

|
| The tough part is to prepare your data. If you add individual statements you will always get autocomplete suggestions as soon as the database already has the item which you want to refer to. If you run a mass input your data will have to be precise: the Q-numbers, dates in the exact format definitions, geo-coordinates in the input standard (which by the way differs from the SPARQL output!) - all this will cause extra work. You will have a lot to do if you come from an old database which allowed text input as here you will find that cells have been filled in various formats and with additional statements which you have to transfer into separate qualifying statements...
| | * If you have edited Wikipedia pages or Wikidata items you will realise that the FactGrid help section is not very specific. Use the '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents Wikipedia Help]''' and the '''[https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:FAQ Wikidata Help]''' do get advice on text formatting or the QuickStatements syntax. It would be useless to copy all that excellent work of the Wikimedia community. |
|
| |
|
| Once you have transformed your data in a table format you can run a QuickStatement (left menue) "Version 1" input by filling big blocks of columns into the input field. Press "Version 1" input. As far your data are machine readable you will get a preview of the upcoming input. Look into it to see whether there are "unknown" fields. These will create error message in the input.
| | * If you feel like this or that advice wold have helped you a lot revise the FactGrid help section. Those who follow will thank you. |
|
| |
|
| You can also transform your input lines into comma-separated-values, csv data. The csv input is faster but it is also tricky as soon as you have double quotes " within text passages.

| |
| | |
| == How do I create new properties? ==
| |
| There is a [[Directory of Properties]] in the link list in the menu. Check whether the statement you want to make is already available with a P-number.
| |
| | |
| If you miss a particular P-number you can create it, but it is recommendable to discuss the new property first on [[Talk:Directory of Properties]].
| |
| | |
| If you create a new property make sure that you have considered the data type. Do you want to link Q-numbers to other Q-numbers? Do you want to link them to dates, to URLs, to external identifiers like a GND number? This needs to be decided when creating the P-number for the respective statement.

| |
| | |
| == What do I do with conflicting information ==
| |
| | |
| Wikibase allows the input of conflicting statements. A person can have two different birth dates. That is not undesirable - quite the contrary, it allows you to represent the wealth of documents which you have processed.
| |
| | |
| You can, however, bring clarity into the future handling of the specific situation:
| |
| | |
| # '''If it remains impossible to determine the correct date''' — make both statements with the respective references. They will now both occur in searches.
| |
| # '''If you can decide which of two dates research should continue to use''' — state both dates but upgrade or downgrade the alternatives by setting the arrows before the respective input fields before saving.
| |
| # '''If you can give reasons for your preference''' — use qualifying statements on each date: [[Property:P155]] "How sure is this" - you can add here a predefined statement from [[Proerty:P155|this list]] or you create an new Item which should be included in this list. Use [[Property:P73]] to set additional free notes on the case.
| |
| # '''If the proper answer should be acknowledged as your research''' upgrarde your choice and downgrade the alternatives (as stated in 2). Use [[Property:P155]] to characterise your knowledge and add a [[Property:P196]] "reasoning" link to a new Item which you now create in order to refer to your personal thesis. Let us say this Q-Number is '''Q1234567'''.
| |
| ::* use [[Property:P2]] in order to mark the new Item as a "[[Item:Q22848|FactGrid thesis]]"
| |
| ::* state yourself with [[Property:P21]] as the author
| |
| ::* date your FactGrid thesis with [[Property:P106]]
| |
| ::* set a link to a blank page, which you will open with [[Property:P99]] and the prospective title '''https://database.factgrid.de/wiki/T-Q1234567'''. This will create a page of the respective Q-Number and here will now be free to write a complete article about the problem with your view. Your article can have chapters, it can refer to documents and research done in the field, it can have footnotes and images (format-wise just as any Wikipedia-article). It will be ''your'' article on the problem and people can use the article's Discussion page to offer their views on your work.
| |
| | |
| == How do I state my own research on FactGrid? ==
| |
| * automatically as we have only registered users. Whatever you do it leaves a trace in "Version histories" and "User contributions"
| |
| * Create a research statement like [[Item:Q11305]] and fix that with the [[Property:P131]] on all data sets that have noteworthy work of yours to show
| |
| * Use [[Property:P17]] on any individual statement you cannot yet make with more than the knowledge of present research and risk estimates and working hypotheses!
| |
| | |
| == How do I see who is doing what of FactGrid ==
| |
| Click "Recent changes" in the menu or explore the "Version history" of any item.
