Structured Data Across Wikimedia/ka

სტრუქტურირებული მონაცემები ვიკიმედიისთვის (SDAW ) — პროექტი, რომელიც დაგვეხმარება ვიკიტექსტში (კოდის) მოცემული კონტენტის სტრუქტურირებაში ისე, რომ იყოს მანქანური მოწყობილობისთვის ამოცნობადი და ასევე დაკავშირებული, წაკითხვადი, რედაქტირებადი და უფრო ადვილი და ხელმისაწვდომი ძიებისთვის, პროექტებსა და ინტერნეტში.

იგი მომხმარებლებს დაეხმარება კონტენტის (შიგთავსის) შეკავშირებაში ვიკიმედიის პროექტებს შორის, აგრეთვე დაეხმარება მკითხველებს ვიკიმედიის ცოდნის ეკოსისტემაში ღრმად ჩახედვაში და მომხმარებლებს ინფორმაციის გავრცელებაში პროექტებსა და სხვა სივრცეებში, ვიკიმონაცემების მაგვარი გზით. პროექტი ასევე უზრუნველყოფს ექსპერიმენტების ჩატარებისთვის სივრცეს, რათა რედაქტირება უფრო მარტივი და ხელმისაწვდომი გახდეს მეტი რედაქტორისთვის, მთელს მსოფლიოში.

ზოგადი ინფორმაცია
ეს პროექტი მსგავსია იმ პროექტისა, რომელიც უკვე დასრულდა ვიკისაწყობზე, როგორც „სტრუქტურირებული მონაცემები ვიკისაწყობზე“-ს (SDC) ნაწილი, რომელიც ნაწილობრივ დაფინანსდება „Sloan Foundation“-ის სამწლიანი გრანტით. SDC-ზე მუშაობამ გვაჩვენა, რომ საჭიროა უფრო მოწინავე მეტამონაცემების ყველა კონტენტისთვის და API-სთვის, რათა უზრუნველყოფილი იყოს უკეთესი ძიების შედეგები, რაც თავის მხრივ კონტენტს უფრო ხელმისაწვდომს, აღმოჩენადს, თარგმნადს და სხვა საჭიროებისთვის გამოსაყენებელს გახდის. Work on SDC made us aware of the need for more advanced metadata for all content and APIs to provide better search results, which would make in turn content more accessible, discoverable, translatable and usable for other needs.

პროექტს სამი ძირითადი მიზანი აქვს:


 * 1) მიეცეს მანქანურ მოწყობილობას საშუალება ამოიცნოს ვიკიმედიის კონტენტი (შინაარსი) და შესთავაზოს ურთიერთკავშირი სხვა ვიკიმედიის კონტენტთან. ჩვენ ჯერ კიდევ ვიკვლევთ ამას „რეკომენდაციები გამოსახულებისთვის“ პროექტის ფარგლებში. We are exploring this first via the image suggestion project.
 * 2) To design a way to structure articles and pages to enable new content formats – such as content served in smaller, easily digestible pieces that is more accessible for readers to use and share.
 * 3) To give Wikimedia users a more inviting, more efficient way to search and find content, building on MediaSearch, and exploring new ways to improve search across Wikipedias using Structured Data.

What is changing
The goal of the project is to design and prototype a new system that aims to be flexible enough to serve all the kinds of metadata we might need to support in the near future.

We identified three main projects that we will develop, as part of our work:


 * 1) Image suggestion, a feature for experienced users to help illustrate Wikipedia articles;
 * 2) Sectional metadata, also known as Section topics, in order to describe what a section of a Wikipedia article is about;
 * 3) Search improvements, that will use structured content to give users a more inviting and efficient way to search and find content on the Wikipedias.

Image suggestion
The Image Suggestion UI aims at developing systems for structured data across all Wikimedia projects.

This work will build on the work already begun as part of the “Add an image” structured task project. However, its focus will be shifted towards improving the processes for experienced contributors. In particular, we will target users who have edited or watched a particular article or set of articles, since they are likely to be experts in the topic and to have interest in seeing that article(s) improve.

Section topics
The Section Topics project will identify sections in an article and create topics accordingly for those sections, drawing on several elements, such as:


 * an algorithm that detects Wikidata items based on the section’s blue links (which will be developed in partnership with the Structured Data, Research, and Data Platform teams);
 * the ability to automatically identify sections in an article (which will be developed in partnership with the Structured Data and Data Platform teams).

One of the first use cases we envisioned for section topics will be section-level image suggestions, which will use the blue-links algorithm and section identification infrastructure above, and be delivered both via the newcomer experience and via notifications for experienced contributors. This will build upon the work done on image suggestions and will be developed in partnership with the Structured Data, Data Platform, Research, Search, Android, and Growth teams.

These elements will not change, nor impact the current editing experience for users. All these activities will be automatic and will not depend on any action from editors. Currently, this project is in its development phase, and there are still aspects that may require further investigation and/or feedback from users.

Search improvements
The Search Improvements project will use structured content to give users a more inviting and more efficient way to search and find content on the Wikipedias. By improving Special:Search, we want to enable users to find the information they are looking for, or that they may not have noticed, or previously come across through existing search.

We aim to identify and define incremental “special search” improvements that use structured content, to assist users in finding the content they are looking for, especially in those language wikis that have fewer articles.

What do we not want to do?

 * 1) Leave users out of the process
 * 2) Overwhelm users with too much new content to moderate
 * 3) Add any additional bias to Wikimedia projects
 * 4) Add additional vectors for vandalism
 * 5) Introduce too much complexity into our systems

Feedback
Project feedback is and will always be welcome. We are especially interested in your ideas about the extent to which you want to keep the “human-in-the-loop” throughout the topical metadata creation process. We are looking forward to hearing from you about the following open questions:


 * 1)  Your expectations about the project
 * 2) What do users expect from this project? What are the necessary actions to be addressed?
 * 3) How do you envision this metadata being used? Can you think of ways it would aid in your workflows?
 * 4)  Metadata moderation
 * 5) Is moderation necessary to avoid vandalism and/or bias?
 * 6) If moderation is necessary, how can it be effectively managed?
 * 7)  Adding and confirming metadata
 * 8) Do users want to be able to approve or reject metadata suggested by the automated system?
 * 9) Do users want to be able to add additional metadata beyond what is suggested by the automated system?
 * 10) Do you think it may just be sufficient for users to have the opportunity to send feedback with suggestions on how to improve the machine generated metadata, when necessary?
 * 11)  Privileges for visualising and editing
 * 12) Do we want metadata to be visible for all users or only for certain classes of users?
 * 13) Do we want metadata to be editable for all users or only for certain classes of users?

Also, more specific feedback about related projects can generally be left on the projects' talk pages:
 * MediaSearch on Commons
 * Image Suggestions

Funding
