Data Gift to Wikidata

This section describes how to export data from the MaRDI portal to Wikidata to make the data better findable for the general public.

Example EuDML prposed by Vladimir Alexiev in 2022, which has currently 17 results.

1. Prepare query for the MaRDI SPARQL endpoint
   1. Find the qIDs P12 = WikidataQId
   2. The thing you want to export, here a part of the external url P205
2. Write the query, example

   SELECT ?qID ?item ?eudmlid WHERE {
     ?item wdt:P205 ?url ;
           wdt:P12 ?qID
     FILTER (STRSTARTS(str(?url) ,"https://eudml")) .
     BIND (substr(str(?url),23) as ?eudmlid)
   }
   LIMIT 10
   

   and investiage the result.
3. Fid the properties in Wikidata, here only P11166 for eudml.
4. Rewrite the query to match the Quickstatements CSV format

   SELECT ?qid ?P11166 WHERE {
     ?item wdt:P205 ?url ;
           wdt:P12 ?qid
     FILTER (STRSTARTS(str(?url) ,"https://eudml")) .
     BIND (substr(str(?url),23) as ?P11166)
     }
   LIMIT 3
   

5. Download the CSV file and test with a few items on Wikidata
6. Remove the limit and do the full import
