Hi all,

For information, the WikidataCon is this week-end in Berlin. While there is
no talk nominatively around Wikisource, there is some intervention on
relation subjects (inventaire.io, WikiCite, German National Library, FRBR,
and so on).

The event is sold out, but you can follow remotely some of the presentation
(link will be added here :
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2017/Program/Remote ).

I'll be there and I'll be happy to talk about Wikisource, who else will be
there?

Cdlt, ~nicolas

Hoi,
I am actively pushing the inclusion of books that are available from the
Open Library. They will be by authors who are already known to Wikidata and
the books will have either an ISBN or an identifier from for instance the
Library of Congress.

The point to this is that we do not know if readable books are available
from Wikisource. Consequently Wikisource becomes of less relevance to the
Open Library because they DO make it known and knowable what books are
available for readers.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hello Nicolas,
will you "push" for a particular list of properties/book data model?

Unfortunately from the last Wikicite I did not have the time (and the will)
to restart the conversation on Wikidata about the book model: at Wikicite
Tpt, Sam and other had the chance to work a few hours on it, but I don't
know if some of the suggestions we made have been discussed directly on
Wikidata.

Hi Nicolas,

Still my biggest issues/hurdles for good data are
capture of information from WS to WD — it just is hard work, WEF tool is
still not sufficiently alignedthe ever problematic inability to link WP
book to WS edition through Wikidatathat cannot capture information for
Wikidata at archive.org, and relate that through to the file at Commons,
and then the edition at Wikisource (or pick another starting point and
interrelate0the inability to create an edition from a book/work, the
inability to create a work from an edition
Maybe you can even ask what we need to improve to get bots to run
through and autocapture, is our meta-data in headers not suitable? What
is it that is problematic?

Thanks for asking.

That much is solved: You can use Zotero to capture metadata on a
book/ work from IA, and then export commands from Zotero into
QuickStatements, which can be used to create (or update) the
equivalent Wikidata items. See:

Hoi,
A Wikipedia matra is be bold and another is that things are a work in
progress. In my opinion, what we need is the name of a book, its author and
the fact that people can read it. All the other stuff like what "version"
is a particular book pales in comparison. We should not let the quest for
perfection be the enemy of the good.

Also Archive.org and Open Library are two different entities. Both the Open
Library and the Internet Archive have their own identifiers for authors and
they are not necessarily linked. We are talking about books from the Open
Library and they are available as an E-book or a PDF.

My problem is not with Open Library, my problem is that we do not know what
is available from Wikisource as a finished good ready for reading. In the
end what we advertise is the author the book, versions are secondary.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hi,

I am also going to be at Wikidata Con.

In the French Wikisource we started a Wikidata project. https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Aide:Wikidata We plan to do a small hackathon soon to start uploading our book data to Wikidata (I already have a prototype of tools that extract data from Wikisource to upload them to Wikidata but it still needs some work to do the job well).

Yes, we need some specific tools.
Post by billinghurst

What we could do is use the new Wikisource MediaWiki extension to add a piece of code to add links to Wikipedia from Wikisource and to the other Wikisources. We could start prototyping it using lua modules.

In Wikidata you can point to the commons file and to IA [1]

Yes, we should create a UI on top of Wikidata to do such task.

Things about the issue work/edition are simpler for projects like
fr.source, bn.source and other projects with a very high proofread/total
ratio, since there's usually an unique Index page linked with an unique
Commons djvu/pdf page and very often an unique source of that image. Things
are much more confused with "naked" works. I suggest - for simplicity -
that by now any effort should be focused on proofread works/editions
ignoring the case of naked works.

I don't know in detail the work flow into de.source, German language being
a hard obstacle - what's a pity!
