Exploration of how to link WASH enabling environment data and more. Moved to: https://git.washnote.org/WASHWeb/WASHWeb-2019

washweb-2019's Issues

OpenRefine reconciliation API exploration

Look into the OpenRefine Reconciliation API specification to understand if an implementation could be interesting to reconcile WASH organizations

Put initial BF related data into wikidata

We roughly agreed to simply follow existing on how to arrange the hierarchy or the inputted data and also to try and document that in the wiki for our current and future understanding on how to improve the structure for our needs.

Create a project for tracking investigations

Write the blog post

WASHNote as a wikipedia/data actor

OK, I'm going to merge some tickets on related ideas into this one to focus.

• #20
• #16
• #8

Please see comments on those tickets for further information.

This is about creating a plan of action for WASHNote as an organisation starting to be involved and participate in the wikipedia and wikidata ecosystems and what needs to be done.

Scaffold a script that scans template changes

This should re-use existing solutions, approachs and best practices from actors like dbpedia and mediawiki itself (libraries and whatever is available for use in the FLOSS world). We're most interested in discovering when the template is edited. Other things will follow, but that is our first concern. If this script can understand when a template is changed, then we'd like to plugin in notifications of that into a trello (or whatever) through a 3rd-party API binding. We're aiming for very minimial and flexible glue here for the first step.

OpenRefine Web API and Python libraries for automation

Look into the local OpenRefine API and the Undo/Redo extraction / execution to be able to repeat actions

CRS Entity matching

We need a way to start matching organizations across different WASH dataset with wikidata. I'm opening this issue do aside from manual matching, we can discuss alternatives and find better solutions. Such as the approach here:
https://github.com/cwrc/wikidata-entity-lookup

Create Wiki for brain dumping on investigations

Keeping track of relevant IT organisations

Who is relevant? Who works with open and linked data? This is a pretty open ended ticket but let's see how it goes in terms of dropping stuff down and keeping track of who we might look up for specific needs as we go forward.

Transfer notes into the wiki

Script: import into database

Data stores, import pipelines and pre-baked front-ends

ACTION: @lwm to investigate data stores, import pipelines and pre-baked front-ends

• The data store should do the heavy lifting for us (wrt. relationships)
• To move fast, we just want some existing front-end for exploring data
• Overall, let's reuse what is there where possible. Simplicity wins

Define theory of change for wikipedia use of WASH Web content

Before we can really start on our use cases, we need to better define the theory of change.

Identify entity/properties related to the WASH sector on wikidata

Add myself to the slides on dropbox

Create repo for the importer

Gather information about who is working in the space

ACTION: @nickdickinson to review 'who is doing it already'

• This is basically to understand where existing solutions are positioning themselves wrt. value offerings, payment schemes, feature sets and future developments.

How to create a resolver wiki data entry? How to build pages that reference external sources in wiki data? Are we allowed to ref external sources in communities?

Script: Download CRS metadata

Promotion of campaign blog post

Post to RWSN, Susana, WASHNote twitter, IATI community, mediawiki community

Create a communication plan for blog posts

Contact network organizations about their needs

Water point data entity matching

"public badges" idea

Validation criteria for washnote "managed" wiki data.

Deploy IRC "the lounge" for WASHNote IRC access

Track WASH Web contributions

We should have a way to track wiki contributions to WASH Web and track if it improves the data ecosystem. In other words, we should see the data we populate on wikis being updated and maintained by others over time.

Build initial re-usable template for infobox

We talked about minimal set of fields, defining the public of the information and making it a re-usable template so that it can be dragged in from other pages for use. We also wanted to use it from a sandbox so that it can be experimented with from the "edit scanning" script that we'll also work on.

How to add an ID and resolver to wikidata items

Contact IATI community about link to wikidata

Create a milestone for the next meeting

Identify first use case

Idea to focus in on one country to pilot the integration of WASH data sets with wiki data and reduce the amount of manual research and data input required before we can generate a genuinely useful wikipedia page or info box, which people will be able to see.

Datasets and useful relationships

ACTION: @nickdickinson to pick datasets and useful relationships

• We leaned towards would be the most minimal examples of some insight that can be used to talk people through or show in brief demos during talks/visits/calls etc. in order to get a feedback loop going with potential end-users.

Guide on how to update information about WASH organisations you know

People need a simple 3 step guide on how to start to keep WASH Web data up to date on wikidata / wikipedia.
