BTracy-WMF triaged this task as Medium priority.Oct 22 2025, 8:58 PM
BTracy-WMF moved this task from Incoming to Operations/SRE on the Wikidata-Query-Service board.

Bumping it and adding the requested informations at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/Federated_queries/Allowlist :

  • Dataset name : German National Library (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek - DNB)
  • Dataset homepage : https://www.dnb.de/EN/Home/home_node.html
  • SPARQL endpoint URL : https://sparql.dnb.de/api/gnd
  • SPARQL web UI URL (if exists and known) : https://sparql.dnb.de
  • Licensing information (if known) : CC0 1.0 license
  • Short description of the dataset : the dataset include all the bibliographic titles held by the DNB as well as the Integrated Authority File (Gemeinsame Normdatei - GND), which describe persons, corporate bodies, conferences and events, geographic entities, topics and works relating to cultural and academic collections held by GLAM institutions throughout Germany ; more technical information can be foud at https://wiki.dnb.de/spaces/LINKEDDATASERVICE/pages/449878933/DNB+SPARQL+Service+BETA
  • Example demonstrating how the dataset in the requested endpoint can be meaningfully linked to Wikidata : Wikidata entities already link to the GND using property P227 ; it is simple to reconstruct an useful URI in this SPARQL endpoint simply by supplying the formatter URL
  • Summary of your project (if any) : as a librarian, I am interested in comparing Wikidata and the GND in order to find discrepancies in the data and correct them
