Spent two hours on Sunday running the Aotearoa New Zealand Wiki online meet up. If anyone is curious as to what Wiki editors in #NewZealand get up to have a look at the "round table" section. My colleagues continue to amaze me with their prolific contributions to #Wikipedia #Wikidata #WikiCommons and #Wikisource. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Aotearoa_New_Zealand_Online/64
heading tomorrow to the InChI Technical Exchange Meeting Summer 2025 in Aachen/DE
Looking forward to it, and particularly talking about the InChI for inorganics and trying that in @wikidata :) See https://doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-53n0w
And also the nano InChI, see https://doi.org/10.3390/nano10122493
There’s a new #OpenStreetMap website feature related to #Wikidata!
When viewing objects in OSM that have a Wikidata tag, you can now click the Wikidata icon to turn the opaque QID values into human-readable info (plus a link to Wikipedia if any).
https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/6127
This integrates the functionality that @ZeLonewolf’s browser extension provided directly into the OSM website.

Great to now be at the session on "Semantic Web Technologies for Historical and Cultural Data" at #DH2025! It's all about #Wikidata, #LOD, #triples, #reconciliation and the like for biographical data, bibliographical data, cultural heritage data, and more!
See the list of presentations here: https://www.conftool.pro/dh2025/index.php?page=browseSessions&form_session=171&presentations=show
The Shetland Islands area has 28 category A listed buildings on #wikidata. Belmont House (dating from 1775) has a #wikipedia article.

Jag skapade nyss ett lexem för "möpare" på #Wikidata Jag hittade inget exempel på hur det används i språket på riksdagens webbplats (vilket är där jag brukar börja). Vilket är den mest "officiella" källa ni kan komma på där det används på ett bra förklarande sätt? https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L1473407
Was lucky and am very proud to collaborate with three colleagues Heidi Meudt, Sabine von Mering and Joaquim Santos to produce a paper on #Wikidata and #botanists A blog about our collaboration can be found here. https://blog.tepapa.govt.nz/2025/07/14/the-power-and-potential-of-wikidata-for-botany/
Chile, Botany and Periodicals: here is what happened around #Wikidata over the past week! https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates/2025_07_14
ever visited somewhere and wondered what the local politics are? well, over at my place you can select a map location to ask wikidata! https://joeldn.srht.site/site/post/local-government-political-party-finder.html #map #mistral #maplibre #wikidata #sparql @mapsmania
@tcdh The workshop on #Wikidata / #Wikibase is getting on the way! Excited to be here. I'll be presenting, for the first time ever, the "Mapping Digital Humanities" Wikibase as a Wikibase.cloud use case.
You can find the slides here: https://dhtrier.quarto.pub/mapping-dh/
Or as a PDF: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15877195
And of course, here's the Wikibase itself: https://mapping-dh.wikibase.cloud
I think I am going to try to recover a bit of #cheminformatics / #chemistry #history, and make the index of the Internet Journal of Chemistry (IJC) FAIR in @wikidata
While the journal no longer exists, many articles are cited quite a few times.
I did some exploration some time ago, and for some I found full text "self-archiving" versions online.
And, TIL that Web of Science has entries for the articles too, which I just added for the 9 articles already in #Wikidata: https://w.wiki/Eide
@mia certainly! I would leave this decision to individual statements: whoever identifies themselves as working in the field of digital humanities is a digital humanist in my book :-)
due to the #Wikidata graph split, the SPARQL will not pick up on indirect identification through publications. But I’ll write the necessary federated query these days …
A global map of digital humanists according to #Wikidata. Obviously heavily biased towards central Europe and a SPARQL query that will return all affiliations for a person in order to avoid running into time outs. But nevertheless, if you add yourself and members of your local community to Wikidata, we can increase the visibility of global DH as #LOD.
