Curate Wikidata entries about components of the open science ecosystem about mozilla-sprint-2018 HOT 15 CLOSED

I was looking at the Wikidata items for social movements and thinking about how to make sure that anyone who participates in the "open science movement" can tag their work and get due credit for whatever they do, however great or modest.

I was looking at citation structures and considering what kinds of work get less credit. Using academic conference presentations as a start, I wrote out a Wikidata data model for data of events.
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Event_Metadata

There is more to be developed but this is a start to collecting information about all sorts of events which broadcast information, and might be recorded and published media, but which are currently uncommon to cite. My goal here was to be able to take in conference programs.

I am not there but I made some movement on the issue.

There is a dedicated Mozsprint project for mapping the open ecosystem (so not limited to science) via Wikidata: mozilla/global-sprint#237 .

from mozilla-sprint-2018.

How do I make the connection to open science? Can I say "part of" "Open Science Tools"? How do we connect all the tools? I am quite new to wikidata...

from mozilla-sprint-2018.

I created entries for open science movement and open science tool. Maybe this will help 🤓

Now I can add a tool via: "instance of" "open science tool" (see for example https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q52988856)

And then we can visualise all tools we collect during this sprint, e.g. with the wikidata-graph-builder

Thanks, @HeidiSeibold . I added a bit to these items. For pieces of software and file formats known to Wikidata,
http://wikidp.org/
provides a nice overview, e.g. see
http://wikidp.org/Q52988856 for OpenML and the discussion at
bioSyntax/bioSyntax#1 (pinging @emulatingkat ).

Yes, the graph builder and the Wikidata SPARQL endpoint could be used for some visualizations, so it would make sense to start collecting ideas for questions/ queries.

An example query not yet directly related to open science is Software applications ranked in descending order by the number of writable file formats .

The WikiDigi account on Twitter is tweeting lots of queries like these.

@HeidiSeibold I tried to develop these also. Yes you did something clever by making these and yes you got the idea of Wikidata.

It is still easy to find the limitations of Wikidata's data models. I was looking at your "open science movement" item then cross checked it with other social movements, including women's rights movements, black rights movements, LGBT rights movements, etc. It seems that no one has yet modeled how to manage social movements in Wikidata.

Thanks for raising the issue and yes it would be nice at the end to come up with a data visualization. I will try more tomorrow.

Here's a graph builder query that @HeidiSeibold had shared this morning for open science tools indexed in Wikidata: https://angryloki.github.io/wikidata-graph-builder/?property=P31&item=Q52990223&mode=reverse .

Setting up items for these tools and services is one thing, annotating them with useful properties another. To get an idea of the kind of properties that are being used on items that are instances or subclasses of open science tools, queries like this one could be used:

SELECT DISTINCT ?property ?propertyLabel ?count
WITH {
  SELECT DISTINCT ?property (COUNT(*) AS ?count) WHERE {
    ?item wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q52990223 ;
    ?p [ ] .
    ?property a wikibase:Property;
                wikibase:claim ?p.
  }
  GROUP BY ?property 
  } AS %results WHERE {
  INCLUDE %results.
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
}
ORDER BY DESC(?count)
LIMIT 100

You can try it out here.

The more comprehensive the data, the more useful this query should become.

I guess @fnielsen would like to take a look at that.

from mozilla-sprint-2018.

Having thought a bit more about this, I think instead of classifying tools or services as instances or subclasses of open science tool, it might be better to create a catalog of which the tools or services are a part.

from mozilla-sprint-2018.

@Daniel-Mietchen I am not sure I understand how to do this. Can you clarify? Has there been any work in this direction so far?

from mozilla-sprint-2018.

@HeidiSeibold Catalogs are in use in various contexts, from artworks and astronomy to zoology, and there is a dedicated property for that: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P972 . There is also
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P360 for lists but I haven't looked much into this.

from mozilla-sprint-2018.

For some catalogue examples, see https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/catalogue/ .

We just had a similar discussion here at the Wikimedia Hackathon on how to index such lists of things, and on focus list of Wikimedia project (P5008) came up as an additional and possibly better option than catalogues.
