> Do you ever use sameAs.org? [First post - hello, everyone!] I hadn't seen sameAs before, but it looks useful, and I will do in future. That said: 1) It doest seem to know about Wikidata. For example, given https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42 (or https://www.wikidata.org/enity/Q42 ) it doesn't return anything other than the input; and given: http://sameas.org/html?uri=http://viaf.org/viaf/113230702 it doesn't include the above Wikidata item in the values returned. 2) It may be that all of sameAs' functionality can be provided by Wikidata, now or in the future. This may be done indirectly - see, for example https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/resolver.php as explained at http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/finding-orcid-wikidata-wikipedia/ and https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/beacon.php as explained at http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/wikidata-beacon-match-orcid-authority-control-identifiers/ 3) You may have data that is not yet in Wikidata. It would be good to look at how this could be imported there. 4) Similarly, you are welcome - and encouraged - to use Wikidata's API and/or dumps; it has a CC0 licence. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk
