Could "aspects" be documented better? What are possible values and what do they mean? "D.en"? "S"? "T"? Where do those links to additional entities come from in the first place?
Topic on Talk:Wikimedia Enterprise/Documentation
Sorry, but I’m not sure what you’re referring to. There isn’t a subheading called “aspects” and I can’t see the values you’ve mentioned. This page could do with updating though, and it’s likely that we will be creating and publishing much more elaborated usage documentation (either here on MediaWiki or on the project’s website itself) within the next few months as we release the next round of feature improvements. ~~~~
In the JSON, additional_entities has aspects with some string values. Find it in the Data Dictionary section.
The example on the documentation page itself, has string C.P1630. How can one know what does this string mean?
Thanks for the pointer, that was very helpful.
Let me see if I understand correctly. So a Wikipedia article can use (how?) multiple entities, if it does, all of them are listed under "additional entities", with every entry having a list of aspects to clarify in which way those entities are used in the Wikipedia article?
I think the main confusion to me is how is use defined. I know that each Wikipedia article has exactly one corresponding Wikidata entity. But how are those additional entities used on the article to get this link?
Yes you understand it correctly. Aspects clarify usage of entities in the article. Single article has only one corresponding entity (QID) but if it references or uses data from other entities inside the article those are listed as additional entities. So basically main entity is corresponding entity in Wikidata and additional entities is a list of other entities that are used inside the article.
