Tècnic

Wikimedia Enterprise és un servei de la Fundació Wikimedia disponible a enterprise.wikimedia.com. L'objectiu del servei és construir serveis per a reutilitzadors comercials de gran volum de contingut de Wikimedia. El servei va ser anunciat el març de 2021 (blogpost, article a WIRED) i es va posar en marxa l'octubre de 2021 (Nota de premsa, article a OpenFutures).

L'objectiu se centra en les organitzacions que volen reutilitzar el contingut de Wikimedia en altres contextos, tot proporcionant serveis de dades a gran escala, de manera que siguin més ràpids i més complets, fiables i segurs. Wikimedia Enterprise té com a objectiu millorar l'experiència d'usuari dels lectors de Wikimedia més enllà dels nostres propis llocs web; augmentar l'abast i la visibilitat del contingut; i millorar la consciència i la facilitat d'atribució i verificabilitat de les organitzacions que reutilitzen més les dades dels projectes Wikimedia, mitjançant serveis d'autofinançament.

Hi ha una barrera d'entrada molt elevada per utilitzar les dades de Wikimedia, fora dels casos d'ús habituals de lectura o edició. Això es deu al fet que el contingut és difícil de segmentar i comprendre per les màquines, cosa que al seu torn afecta fins a quin punt les dades dels projectes Wikimedia arriben més enllà del nostre propi ecosistema, i l'escala d'impacte que pot tenir.

En les recomanacions de l'Estratègia del Moviment per augmentar la sostenibilitat del nostre moviment i millorar l'experiència d'usuari hi ha les següents recomanacions, respectivament: "Explorar noves oportunitats tant per a la generació d'ingressos com per a la difusió gratuïta del coneixement mitjançant els convenis i els ingressos obtinguts, per exemple [...] Construint una API empresarial" i "feu que el paquet d'API de Wikimedia sigui més complet, fiable, segur i ràpid, en col·laboració amb usuaris de gran escala [...] i millorar la consciència i la facilitat d'atribució i verificabilitat per als reutilitzadors de contingut".

És ben sabut que algunes empreses massives utilitzen les dades dels nostres projectes. Aquestes empreses reconeixen que sense els projectes de Wikimedia, no podrien proporcionar una experiència tan rica ni fiable als seus propis usuaris. Des de fa temps hi ha la sensació entre els membres de la comunitat que aquestes empreses haurien de fer més per reinvertir a les comunitats de Wikimedia pels avantatges que obtenen del contingut i els recursos que utilitzen.

Això va dur a la idea de desenvolupar un nou enfocament que sigui més sostenible a llarg termini i que proporcioni una relació molt més clara entre Wikimedia i els usuaris empresarials. La majoria dels beneficis financers per a Wikimedia probablement només provindria d'un grapat molt reduït d'usuaris intensos amb ànim de lucre, i es retroalimentaria al moviment Wikimedia.

A mesura que es va desenvolupar aquesta idea, va quedar clar que hi ha la responsabilitat de democratitzar les nostres dades per a les organitzacions que no disposen dels recursos d'aquests usuaris més grans, per assegurar-nos que estem igualant el terreny de joc i ajudar a fomentar una Internet sana sense reforçar els monopolis. Els avantatges d'aquest servei no només haurien de ser per a empreses emergents o alternatives als gegants d'Internet, sinó també per a universitats i investigadors universitaris; arxius i arxivers; juntament amb el moviment Wikimedia més ampli.

Resum

L'atenció de Wikimedia Enterprise se centra en empreses que reutilitzen el nostre contingut, normalment a gran escala, per exemple, integrades en gràfics de coneixement, cerques, assistents de veu, mapes, notícies, eines de la comunitat, aplicacions de tercers i estudis de recerca de corpus complet. Augmentar els nombrosos conjunts de dades de Wikimedia per posar estructura darrere del nostre contingut no estructurat permetrà que tots els nostres reutilitzadors de contingut satisfacin els seus requisits individuals, alhora que permetrà construir noves eines i serveis en el futur, disponibles per a tothom. Els usuaris que reutilitzen el nostre contingut busquen tres components crítics:

  • Freqüència: captures actuals i regulars de projectes de Wikimedia
  • Fiabilitat: una nfraestructura fiable i accessible
  • Qualitat: la "darrera millor revisió"

Cal fer èmfasi en què un conjunt autofinançat de casos d'ús específics permet a l'equip d'API de Wikimedia centrar-se en els voluntaris, els equips i les organitzacions que volen accedir als nostres conjunts de dades (i, sobretot, interactuar amb ells). Això inclou la majoria de les eines d'edició de la comunitat, que estaran fora de l'abast d'aquest servei. Per a més informació sobre les millores de les API de Wikimedia existents, vegeu la pàgina del servei sobre la iniciativa API Gateway.

Objectius del programa:

  • Contingut: fer que el contingut del nostre moviment estigui disponible en formats coherents llegibles per màquina, disponibles de manera gratuïta per a tots els investigadors i reutilitzadors.
  • Càrrega de recursos: reduir la necessitat de scraping de llocs d'alta intensitat per part dels reutilitzadors de major freqüència i volum, que actualment s'orienten als nostres servidors de producció.
  • Finançament: proporcionar una manera més clara i coherent perquè els reutilitzadors més grans reinverteixin els beneficis derivats en el moviment, en lloc de fer donacions altruistes ocasionals que varien de mida.

Trobades públiques passades: març 2021 #1 & març 2021 #2, abril 2021, juny 2022, febrer 2023

...i també a la conferència EMWCon Spring 2021 (video); les trobades del març i juliol de 2022 de l'Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network (SWAN); la Wikimedia Clinic del maig de 2021; i a Wikimania 2021.

A continuació, es troben els paràgrafs d'introducció d'un assaig comunitari molt més detallat.

L'assaig complet cobreix els temes següents:

En anglès, la paraula "free" té dos significats, que en català són dues paraules molt diferents: lliure i gratuït.

Els projectes de Wikimedia són, sempre ho han estat i sempre romandran lliures. Els principis de les obres culturals lliures signifiquen que qualsevol persona pugui utilitzar Wikimedia sense restriccions, inclús comercialment. Com a moviment, ho acceptem. És per això que rebutgem les llicències no comercials, ja que limitarien els tipus de reutilització possibles. I és per això que considerem la reutilització comercial com un mitjà important de distribució de coneixement al públic.

Igualment, els projectes Wikimedia són, han estat i seran sempre gratuïts. La capacitat d'accedir lliurement al coneixement disponible a tots els projectes de Wikimedia sempre ha estat el nucli de la missió de la Fundació i del moviment. Proporcionem aquest accés no només a les persones que visiten els nostres llocs web, sinó també a les màquines programades perquè el nostre contingut pugui ser reutilitzat en altres entorns. El corpus complet del contingut de Wikimedia sempre ha estat, i continuarà estant, disponible per a la seva reutilització en diverses formes (incloent-hi, però no limitant-se, a bolcats de bases de dades, API i scraping) sense cap cost.

Com a resultat, el nostre contingut és reutilitzat amb freqüència per organitzacions comercials que en depenen per donar sostenir els seus models de negoci, i que en conseqüència, n'obtenen ingressos. Fora de les donacions corporatives voluntàries a la Fundació Wikimedia, el moviment no ha rebut beneficis de cap d'aquests ingressos a través de la inversió de retorn. Tot reconeixent aquest fet, sota el títol d'Augmentar la sostenibilitat del moviment, el procés d'Estratègia del Moviment va demanar a la Fundació Wikimedia que explorés, entre altres coses, "API a nivell empresarial [...] models per als reutilitzadors comercials a escala empresarial, tot intentant evitar les dependències dels ingressos o una altra influència externa indeguda en el disseny i desenvolupament del producte". A més, sota el títol Millorar l'experiència d'usuari, una altra recomanació deia: "Fer que el conjunt d'API de Wikimedia sigui més complet, fiable, segur i ràpid, en col·laboració amb els usuaris a gran escala on s'alineï amb la nostra missió i principis, per millorar l'experiència d'usuari tant dels usuaris directes com indirectes, augmentar l'abast i la capacitat de descobriment del nostre contingut i el potencial de retorn de dades, i millorar el coneixement i la facilitat d'atribució i verificabilitat per als reutilitzadors de contingut".

L'equip del projecte Enterprise està desenvolupant un nou recurs adreçat als reutilitzadors de continguts amb ànim de lucre, que tenen requisits de producte, servei i sistema que van més enllà del que oferim gratuïtament. Utilitzar aquesta oferta no serà necessari per a reutilitzar continguts comercials; les empreses poden seguir utilitzant les eines actuals disponibles sense cap cost. Tots els ingressos de l'API Enterprise s'utilitzaran inequívocament per donar suport a la missió de Wikimedia, per exemple, per finançar els programes de Wikimedia o ajudar a augmentar la dotació dels projectes.

Aquest projecte representa un nou tipus d'activitat a la Fundació. El projecte es troba en una fase molt primerenca que s'ha de considerar un període d'aprenentatge. Tindrem èxits, cometrem errors i haurem d'adaptar les nostres estratègies. L'equip es compromet a escoltar, participar en diàlegs i, en la mesura del possible, integrar els comentaris que rebem sobre el nostre treball. Aquest document és orgànic i reflecteix el pensament actual de l'equip; estem intentant documentar tot el treball possible de forma oberta. Fins ara, el nostre treball ha estat modelat per una sèrie d'entrevistes inicials amb membres de la comunitat, la Junta Directiva i el personal de la Fundació Wikimedia, investigadors i reutilitzadors de contingut.

...continua llegint la resta de l'assaig. Vegeu també les preguntes freqüents i els principis.

Donada la naturalesa del servei, la presa de decisions primària correspon a la Fundació Wikimedia. Cerquem aportacions de la comunitat, en particular de la comunitat tècnica i de les persones que han participat en el procés d'estratègia, durant tota la vida del servei. S'han recopilat comentaris tècnics de companys de la Fundació Wikimedia, socis de la indústria i de la recerca, socis tècnics de tot el moviment i de les comunitats tècniques més àmplies mitjançant Phabricator. Les aportacions al desenvolupament del finançament del servei seguiran un patró similar. Continuarem recopilant aportacions mitjançant entrevistes de recerca i grups de discussió, així com comentaris aquí a Meta segons el document dels nostres principis.

Accés

The primary use case of the suite of APIs is paid access for large commercial organisations, with associated Service Level Agreements and dedicated customer support. Nevertheless, and in accordance with the project's project's principle of access for all, there are also various ways to access the Wikimedia Enterprise APIs for free.

Freely access Wikimedia Enterprise APIs by:

For the vast majority of use cases, these three options are more than sufficient.

Exceptional access

If you have a Wikimedia mission-aligned use case and your requirements exceed what is offered at no cost, you may request free exceptional access to the higher rate of the APIs.

If you would like to request this, please contact <techpartnerships(_AT_)wikimedia.org> with a response to the six criteria described below.

Requests will be reviewed by Wikimedia Foundation staff in accordance with the following criteria, and granted at the Wikimedia Foundation's discretion. If the request includes substantive access to Wikidata content, the request will be reviewed in coordination with staff from Wikimedia Deutschland.

Exceptional access criteria

1. Who (individual or organisation) is requesting exceptional access? Please list the contact person’s name, organisation (if applicable), email address, and Enterprise API account username.

2. What is the request for? Please specify what specific exception is being requested, and for what purpose. Please link to any documentation, existing service or project, research proposal, etc. that shows the use-case.

Notes

All users of Wikimedia Enterprise services must abide by the copyright licenses on Wikimedia content. They are inherent and cannot be waived. Please also note the API Usage guidelines (in particular regarding sub-licensing) and any Wikimedia Foundation policies which may apply to the proposed use-case – including the Terms of Use, the User-Agent Policy.

3. Need. Can the intended use-case be fulfilled via any of the existing free access methods? Please specify how the existing public services (e.g. public database dumps, APIs, or bots, etc.) are insufficient for your needs.

Notes

Exceptional free access to a paid account can only be granted when all standard options are exhausted – including the free account of the Enterprise services. Possible examples include:

  • Persistent need for access above the Enterprise API requests/second, or datasets/month, free thresholds
  • Creation of a new feature/dataset
  • Formal customer-service or Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements

4. Obligation. Would the intended use case require custom development to support or maintain? What is the duration of the requested exception?

Please specify if the proposal can be fulfilled using the features of the existing APIs and datasets. If necessary features or datasets are not already available, please clarify with reference to the published documentation.

Notes

Providing exceptional access is effectively a form of in-kind support. The value includes any initial and ongoing development support, and infrastructure expense (in particular, data transfer costs). Contributions back to the Wikimedia movement (e.g., through content donations and data reports, tools, infrastructure, volunteer support and activities, and technical collaborations) could be understood as reciprocal in-kind contributions.

In accordance with the Wikimedia Enterprise operating principles regarding non-exclusivity, any newly developed software feature or dataset must be made available to all. This might raise the financial cost of operating the service considerably, or decrease the strategic value of the proposed use case.

5. Mission alignment. Is the intended use case aligned with any of the needs identified in the Movement Strategy Recommendations?

Please explain how the intended use will help the Wikimedia movement reach at least one of these goals.

Notes

There is no perfect definition of “mission alignment”. Nevertheless, the Movement Strategy recommendations (2020) represent the culmination of wide-ranging consultation across the Wikimedia community and stakeholders about our future. Its recommendations are broad in scope, stable, and independent of any one stakeholder’s needs.

Special consideration would be given to organizations serving marginalized communities, underrepresented languages, or Wikimedia sister projects. The proposed use-case should not deliberately create or reinforce closed knowledge silos, proprietary forks of the content, or circumvent community norms or policies.

6. Values alignment. Do the requester’s professional practices or business model align with Wikimedia’s values? Please explain how the request (individual or organization) is in support of these values.

Notes

A human rights assessment is undertaken by the WMF for certain users of paid accounts for the Enterprise APIs (regardless of payment or exceptional access), in accordance with the Human Rights Policy and Commercial Sales and Contracts Policy.

However, in order to receive free access to a paid account, the user should also be able to demonstrate a commitment to open knowledge, transparency, and/or public-benefit mission (such as education, cultural heritage, intergovernmental agency).

If requesting from a commercial organisation, specify if the lack of exceptional access would significantly jeopardize a public-benefit mission – essential for research, accessibility, public information or safety, for example.

The business-model should at the very least not be in conflict with Wikimedia’s values – for example by being built upon harmful misinformation, disinformation, human rights violations, extractive data use, unethical generative AI, or undisclosed paid-editing practices on Wikimedia sites.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the Talkpage or email <techpartnerships(_AT_)wikimedia.org>

Tècnic

Per obtenir informació completa sobre el treball del producte, consulteu la pàgina de documentació a MediaWiki.org i la subpàgina de la documentació de l'API.

Amb el temps, el "producte" que s'ofereixi anirà creixent i millorant. Aquesta informació és precisa a febrer de 2023.

Overview

All of our APIs return the same structured JSON (or ND-JSON) response format making it easy to augment one API with another. Three APIs; same data with different retrieval methods:

  • Retrieve bulk data with the Snapshot API
  • Retrieve single articles with the On-demand API
  • Receive changes instantly with Realtime API streaming

API responses payloads include article data such as summary, image, Wikidata QID, license, and metadata specific to the last revision such as editor, size of change, and credibility score with revert probability. All data fields and schema are explained in detail on the project's Data Dictionary website page.

API Instantània

Per als reutilitzadors de gran volum que actualment confien en els abocadors de Wikimedia per accedir a la nostra informació, hem creat una solució per ingerir contingut de Wikimedia gairebé en temps real sense excessives peticions a l'API (API sota demanda) ni haver-se de mantenir connectats a la nostra infraestructura (en temps real).

The Enterprise Snapshot API allows users to retrieve entire Wikimedia projects as a database dump file.

  • Download a compressed file containing everything in any supported project, in any language
  • Article body in HTML as well as Wikitext
  • Up to a daily snapshots cadence
  • 24-hour compressed dumps (with both wikitext and html) of supported "text-based" Wikimedia projects
  • A wide range of commercial and consolidated schemas under SLAs
  • SLA and Support

API sota demanda

Els reutilitzadors de gran volum que utilitzen una infraestructura depenent de la plataforma EventStream depenen de serveis com RESTBase per extreure l'HTML dels títols de les pàgines i de les revisions actuals per actualitzar els seus productes. Els reutilitzadors de gran volum han sol·licitat un mitjà fiable per recopilar aquestes dades, així com estructures diferents d'HTML quan incorporen el nostre contingut als seus KG i productes.

The Wikimedia Enterprise On-demand API allows users to retrieve single articles from any supported Wikimedia project at anytime.

  • Make standard HTTP requests to retrieve documents by name from all supported projects and languages with filters available to limit response
  • Request the latest page data anytime to augment your Realtime or Snapshot API data
  • A wide range of commercial and consolidated schemas under SLAs

API en temps real

Actualment, els reutilitzadors de gran volum depenen molt dels canvis impulsats des de la nostra comunitat per actualitzar els seus productes en temps real, utilitzant les API d'EventStream per accedir a aquests canvis. Els reutilitzadors de gran volum estan interessats en un servei que els permeti filtrar els canvis que reben per limitar el seu processament, garantir connexions HTTP estables per assegurar que no es perdin dades i proporcionar un esquema més útil per limitar el nombre de peticions necessàries a l'API.

The Enterprise Realtime API allows users to stream updates in real-time from any supported Wikimedia project.

  • Streaming: Receive streaming (firehose) updates of every change as they occur in real-time
  • Batch: Download compressed snapshot files of incremental updates every hour
  • Instant updates for new content, any edits, deletions, and breaking news events including community-curated visibility changes
  • Filtering of events by Project or Revision Namespace
  • A wide range of commercial and consolidated schemas under SLAs with guaranteed connections

Contracted accounts receive 99% SLA and support response-time guarantees. All accounts have access to our introductory onboarding resources and help center faqs.
