Constellations Data

Description

This repository contains data related to the Constellations project.

Wikidata Lists

These files can be edited to exclude images, exclude properties, and rename properties.

• all_properties_list.csv: A list of all the properties in wikidata for the all the entities. This list can be used to create include_properties_list.csv by removing the unwanted properties.
• include_properties_list.csv: A list of all the properties to include in the site. This list can be created using all_properties_list.csv by removing the unwanted properties. You may also rename the properties in the include_properties_list.csv for any property id.

Biographies

The biographies are in biographies/.
(e.g. biographies/Q102293564.md)

They are in markdown format for easy and safe convertion to HTML.

Publication Markdown

The publication markdown files are in publications/.
(e.g. publications/Q102293564.md)

Images

Images are in images/.
Only image files in that directory will be included. Wikidata references to images are not used.

Property Value Overrides

The property value overrides are in property-value-override/.

(e.g. property-value-override/Q102293564.json)

This will override the data in wikidata for a property. If a value in wikidata is not wanted or needs to be edited it can be overridden using these files. To suppress a value for a specific entity, set the property to null. (You can suppress a property for all entities by removing it from the include_properties_list.csv.)

Wikidata Changes which Require Intervention

The Wikidata ID Changes

The Wikidata ID for a student may change for various reasons. (For example, Wikidata merges duplicate records.)

• Open the record in Omeka and edit the "Same as" field to match the new ID
• Make sure the "main subject" of the Wikidata biography points to the new ID for this student and verify that the student is in the results of this query: https://w.wiki/EFK4
• Rename the biography, publication, and image file from the old to the new ID and merge into main.
• Run a build from Jenkins, review and merge the PR from the build
• Run a deploy to Omeka from Jenkins
• Check the data and image for the subject in Omeka

This may also occur with a Places and Educational Institutions. In those cases, the Same As property should be updated before the new data is deployed to Omeka. If the new data is deployed before the Same As is updated, there may be 2 instances of the same place/institution. Delete the one with the old Same As.
