== How do I state my own research on FactGrid? ==
The FactGrid primarily wants to be a research body. The attraction in the structure between the GND and Wikidata to run such an instance lies primarily in the fact that the "no original research" clause falls on its "relevance criteria". We allow data to be published for the first time in the resource and are more interested in the listing of primary sources such as archival material than in providing information from an already published source.
* 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 ==
If a research project is to record infant mortality in a historical location, there is nothing in our instance against biograms about people, of whom no more than ages, surnames and locations as well as dates have been handed down.
Click "Recent changes" in the menu or explore the "Version history" of any item.


In the FactGrid, relevance means relevance for the research project that collects the data. At the same time, it is important that the research projects that generate the data gain contours on the platform and that - as is customary in the scientific field - named persons represent their own research interests.


== What do I do with conflicting information ==
== Make your own research project visible in the Directory of Properties" ==
The project area identified for this can be found in the menu under:


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.
* [[FactGrid:Projects]]


You can, however, bring clarity into the future handling of the specific situation:
Here you should write down larger projects in order to provide clarity about incoming data - we will generate individual project areas for a larger number of projects to ensure clarity.


# '''If it remains impossible to determine the correct date''' &mdash; make both statements with the respective references. They will now both occur in searches.
== Run your own project pages in the factGrid project namespace==
# '''If you can decide which of two dates research should continue to use''' &mdash; state both dates but upgrade or downgrade the alternatives by setting the arrows before the respective input fields before saving.
Set up your own project area for your own research project and subdivide it as required
# '''If you can give reasons for your preference''' &mdash; 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.
To briefly present your project in the project directory, you can open sub-pages at any time, in which you present your project as you wish, and on which you can present search results or coordinate work steps of an staff. The " Gotha Illuminati Research Base " provides the first sample with individual such pages - on search offers, on those involved , on projects .
# '''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.


== Creating larger numbers of items in a mass input via QuickStatements ==
It is important that pages that you open for your project begin with FactGrid and colon ("FactGrid: My project"). Without the specific assignment, the reference to the "namespace", which can be searched separately, is lost.
There are YouTube videos available that show how you create inputs with QuickStatements

== Link your own "FactGrid Research Item" of your project to data objects ==

Each editing process is versioned in detail in the Wikibase instance with date and editor link. For each item, property and page there is a version history (under the tabs on the right) that lists the editing processes chronologically - an important feature that allows you to say precisely when they published a finding in the FactGrid, but an insufficient, when it comes to showing your own work in the database.


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...
Datasets are also assigned to research projects in the FactGrid. Item: Q2080 is a typical database object . With property: P131 "this FactGrid data set was enriched by", the research contribution is assigned to the data set on a project-specific basis:


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.
  Item: Q11305 : "Hermann Schüttler / Reinhard Markner, research on the correspondence of the Illuminati order (1998-2007)."
The data set for this item is complex: It names the authors, the project supervisor, the science funding involved and the publications that were created in this project.


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.
A database query can now be used to record the individual data records to which the project contributed - the option with which the project participants can present this part of their work to the sponsor.

The FactGrid primarily wants to be a research body. The attraction in the structure between the GND and Wikidata to run such an instance lies primarily in the fact that the "no original research" clause falls on its "relevance criteria". We allow data to be published for the first time in the resource and are more interested in the listing of primary sources such as archival material than in providing information from an already published source.

If a research project is to record infant mortality in a historical location, there is nothing in our instance against biograms about people, of whom no more than ages, surnames and locations as well as dates have been handed down.

In the FactGrid, relevance means relevance for the research project that collects the data. At the same time, it is important that the research projects that generate the data gain contours on the platform and that - as is customary in the scientific field - named persons represent their own research interests.

Make your own research project visible in the Directory of Properties"

The project area identified for this can be found in the menu under:

Here you should write down larger projects in order to provide clarity about incoming data - we will generate individual project areas for a larger number of projects to ensure clarity.

Run your own project pages in the factGrid project namespace

Set up your own project area for your own research project and subdivide it as required To briefly present your project in the project directory, you can open sub-pages at any time, in which you present your project as you wish, and on which you can present search results or coordinate work steps of an staff. The " Gotha Illuminati Research Base " provides the first sample with individual such pages - on search offers, on those involved , on projects .

It is important that pages that you open for your project begin with FactGrid and colon ("FactGrid: My project"). Without the specific assignment, the reference to the "namespace", which can be searched separately, is lost.

Link your own "FactGrid Research Item" of your project to data objects

Each editing process is versioned in detail in the Wikibase instance with date and editor link. For each item, property and page there is a version history (under the tabs on the right) that lists the editing processes chronologically - an important feature that allows you to say precisely when they published a finding in the FactGrid, but an insufficient, when it comes to showing your own work in the database.

Datasets are also assigned to research projects in the FactGrid. Item: Q2080 is a typical database object . With property: P131 "this FactGrid data set was enriched by", the research contribution is assigned to the data set on a project-specific basis:

 Item: Q11305 : "Hermann Schüttler / Reinhard Markner, research on the correspondence of the Illuminati order (1998-2007)."

The data set for this item is complex: It names the authors, the project supervisor, the science funding involved and the publications that were created in this project.

A database query can now be used to record the individual data records to which the project contributed - the option with which the project participants can present this part of their work to the sponsor.

If you contribute to a research data object in which another project is already claiming research work, simply add your own "research item".

Position a specific thesis in the FactGrid

If you make a controversial change in the state of research with a statement that you make a database object in the FactGrid, but have not published your question independently, you can open a database object for your thesis.

In this case, refer to Property: P196 "Recital" to a separate item that you generate for your thesis and for which you specifically claim authorship. Assign statements to this item as follows:

Property: P2 "is a" " Item: Q22848 " FactGrid Thesis " Property: P21 "Author" - link here to the personal data record (or, if you work in a team, to the authors. Property: P106 "Date" - write down the current date with which you have just made the thesis public. Property: P99 "Thesis" - give a brief summary of your thesis here After this preparation, use the discussion page of the item to go into detail. The page should offer you space to explain your thesis in more detail. Secondly, you should put a "Discussion" heading under which others in the database can comment on your claim if you are interested.
