Projekt

Tento projekt sa skladá z dvoch častí: Abstraktná Wikipédia a Wikifunkcie.

Abstract Wikipedia is a conceptual extension of Wikidata and the aspirational reification of a more accessible Wikipedia. Its goal is to let more people share more knowledge in more languages by automating translation, both linguistically and conceptually — that is, abstractively.[1] In Abstract Wikipedia, people can create and maintain Wikipedia articles in a language-independent way. With the help of functions and code, any non-English language Wikipedia would be able to have this language-independent article translated into their respective language.

Wikifunctions is a new Wikimedia project that allows anyone to create and maintain code. This is useful in many different ways. It provides a catalog of all kinds of functions that anyone can call, write, maintain, and use. It also provides code that translates the language-independent article from Abstract Wikipedia into the language of a Wikipedia. This allows everyone to read the article in their language. Wikifunctions will use knowledge about words and entities from Wikidata.

This will get us closer to a world where everyone can share in the sum of all knowledge.

Čo je to funkcia?

A "function" is a sequence of computer program instructions that makes a calculation based on data you provide. Functions are a form of knowledge that can answer questions, such as how many days have passed between two dates or the distance between two cities. More complicated functions can answer more complicated questions, such as the volume of a three dimensional shape, the distance between Mars and Venus on a certain date, or whether two species were alive at the same time. We already use functions in many types of knowledge inquiries, such as asking a question to a search engine. The templates known as {{convert}} and {{age}} in English are also examples of functionalities that are already used in many Wikipedias, written in wikitext and Lua and manually copied to each wiki where it's wanted.

Ďalšie príklady funkcií nájdete na stránke príklady prvých funkcií a veľmi hrubé náčrty možného vzhľadu rozhrania na stránke prvej mockupy.

In short, functions make a calculation on the data you provide, and answer a question you have about it.

This new Wikimedia project will build a library of functions, written by volunteers, to help answer questions like these across languages. By building out our library of functions, we can enable more people to access and explore free knowledge in new ways.

Čo je to Abstraktná Wikipédia?

Vizuálne vysvetlenie projektu Abstraktnej Wikipédie a Wikifunkcií

The term “Abstract Wikipedia” itself refers to the long-term goal – that this library of functions will someday enable the creation of language-independent articles. Once more pieces of this project are in place, this will mean that any wiki – especially small to medium wikis – will be able to dramatically increase the number of articles available in their language. It also means that editors can share knowledge from their culture and contexts with a larger and more global audience.

The new wiki of functions, Wikifunctions, will develop the coding infrastructure to make this vision possible. The Abstract Wikipedia part of the project has started with our shared work on natural language generation functions, such as morphological functions.

Inými slovami: budeme môcť kombinovať funkcie z novej wiki s údajmi a jazykovými informáciami vo Wikiúdajoch, aby sme mohli generovať vety v prirodzenom jazyku v ktoromkoľvek podporovanom jazyku. Tieto vety sa potom môžu použiť v ľubovoľnej Wikipédii (alebo inde).

Pozadie

An article in the Signpost provides a more detailed introduction to the idea. The material below – research papers, videos of talks, prototype software – offers a lot of detail. A detailed draft plan for the development of Abstract Wikipedia is also available.

See the Historic proposal page for the long list of related discussions, papers, videos, and comparable proposals.

Originally, the project was code-named Wikilambda, derived from Lambda calculus. The name is still referenced in the name of Extension:WikiLambda and in the Wikifunctions logo which contains a lambda character.

  1. The new components (listed in the development plan for Abstract Wikipedia) include extensions to Wikidata, whose integration (in the second year of the project) requires the agreement of the Wikidata community before storing the “abstract content” there or on another wiki (such as the new Wikifunctions wiki developed in the first part of the project, or another multilingual wiki).
