[00:00:09] [telegram] in any case, the SPARQL service can only return child categories, not members of those categories [00:00:38] [telegram] so it's not a convenient approach unless you wanted to use it for search in the first case [00:01:47] [telegram] there are a bunch of Toolforge tools for deep category traversal, and it's of course fairly trivial to write a bot or such, if you don't need it to happen in real time [00:38:07] [telegram] I don't know (re @gtisza: is that still true?) [08:17:59] [telegram] Forget categories and start with structured data on Commons (re @Susannaanas: I am trying to retrieve imagery from Wikimedia Commons API for https://wikidocumentaries-demo.wmflabs.org/ based on a root category, just learning the basics still. Can I read images recursively from categories, or do I have to manage that recursion in the code myself?) [11:34:24] [telegram] I sort of deviated that way already... I have to look into your replies, thank you all. [11:49:47] [telegram] Apropos: I would like to develop image search, image upload, and enriching metadata with Wikidocumentaries. I think it would be a very appropriate project for a Wikimedia grant. I wonder if there are people among you who would like to join planning and carrying out that project. There is no draft yet to refer to, we would define the project scope together. [11:49:47] [telegram] Wikidocumentaries navigates Wikimedia content based on Wikidata items. For each item, it creates a page on-the-fly and gathers openly available images from Europeana, Flickr, CC Search, Finna, and others. When the user wants to interact with an image, it will first be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and then linking and tagging can start. We have already created the basic navigation system, but none of [11:49:48] [telegram] Wikidocumentaries will store local data in it's own Wikibase, but it will save everything that possible suits Wikimedia projects directly in them. The project would be heavily based on Structured Data on Commons. [11:49:52] [telegram] https://wikidocumentaries-demo.wmflabs.org/
