Summarize understanding of the project: What's in a name? Automatically identifying first and last author names for Wikicite and Wikidata
Closed, ResolvedPublic3 Estimated Story Points

Description

Before formally kicking off this project, I want to summarize my understanding of the project based on the Outreachy onboarding meeting/first chat materials below.

Links from our first chat:

Event Timeline

Wikidata "request a query" discussion page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:RAQ

This site can be used for answering questions about queries and questing reviews of queries.

Online Service

With SQL: https://query.wikidata.org/
Without SQL: https://query.wikidata.org/querybuilder/?uselang=en

Questions:

  1. In what way does this tool relate to the project?

Things worth thinking about:

  1. How could I use this query service to handle this project? - To collect data and test the pages on Wikidata.

Wikidata project chat (for general queries): https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat

A place to discuss questions about items and properties related on Wikidata.

Some thoughts from https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Full_name:

P1559, P1477, P735, and P734 are all the names used for describing a person, and possibly P1449?
But in general, most of scientific DBs seems to only list author’s first and last names!

So at the moment, we only can do pulling first and last names from DBs and pushing these to Wikidata, and then the author names can be referred to Wikipedia as a source of truth. Am I correct?

Cite Q: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_Q

This is a middleware transferring Wikidata's data to a citation in the reference section on Wikipedia.

My view on this workflow:

Wikidata -> Cite Q -> Wikipedia

WikiCite: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Source_MetaData

A Wikimedia initiative focusing on citations that are derived from bibliographic data.

Grants & e-scholarships are applied if you are interested in the Wikidata project.

Results can be proposed to Wikimania and WikiCite community.
