Wikimedia Sweden is looking into roundtripping and using Open Refine is a rumour more information wanted
- Lozan talked about quite a few institutions needing to do more with federation
- Goal is to work toward spqrqle endpoint

- Lozana disagrees: I wouldn't call that federation unless you intent to change the data model
- Q: if the data model keeps changing, synchronising between [missed part] is federation
- Sparql endpoint [missed part]
- Synching data the idea of keeping track across databases so you’ll get notifications to (level of federation beyond synching between wikibases)
- Jarmo mentioned the gnd keeping their original wikibase [missed part]
- Some kind of expert bot [missed part] bring out data from wikibase to differnt format
- Jarmo: Asks if its possible to export data to differnt formats; eg. bibliographical data to be put out in marc format or some other format
- Jeyes I have took a brief look on pywikibot, but I had not noticed that.
- Tried this Python script that makes use of PyWikiBot? https://github.com/SemanticLab/data-2-wikibase/blob/master/add_properties.py
- Discusses differnt output formats: marc
- Lozan to get in touch with Mohammed and Sam to lay out some plans for developoment
- Smithsonian is also interested in SPARQL for WikiBase
- Okko asks whether this page is up to date: https://wikiba.se/fed/?
- Dragan proposed this tool: https://www.question2answer.org/
- This for example is based on question2answer: https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/
- Lydia's presentation at SMWCOn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2J4oSE7krg
- Semantic Mediawiki used as an client interface and WIkibase as the backend on the same host: presentation by lucamauri.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8yJmS2p1Ss
- Connecting Wikibase and Semantic MediaWiki" by Jeroen de Dauw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygvDSlp6cSk
- Johanes asks: about tabula data used in Wikibase...convert the table into item numbers and columsn so its possible to query this tripples just as a table
- Aks whether other people are interested in something like this
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tabular_Data
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Map_Data
- Lozana: this might be moving away from the idea of linked data
