IMSLP Forums

Question: We are connecting IMSLP and Wikidata to make this work faster is there a way to get a list of
IMSLP profiles that have a link to WIkipedia/Wikidata?

As Wikidata has more external identifiers also other like VIAF are of interest to easier identify a match

Wikidata
Wikidata is the data layer of Wikipedia ==> one article in WIkipedia has an entry i Wikidata
All different language versions of an article in WIkipedia has the same Wikidata entry e.g.

e.g.
IMSLP Category:Avenarius,_Ferdinand
is the same as
Wikidata Q85155
that has WIkipedia entries

• de: Ferdinand_Avenarius
• en: Ferdinand_Avenarius
• sv: Ferdinand_Avenarius
• ....

In Wikidata we have a Property IMSLP ==> you can on an object in Wikidata say this is the same person as IMSLP
see

• Property P839
• DIscussion page P839
• As we have a query language [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jHoUkj_mKw SPARQL] we easy can query WIkidata
• Map showing Birth/death/burial location for people in Wikidata with IMSLP
• Present a timeline for Timeline] people who died before 1600 and have IMSLP with link Wikidata with filter country of Birth and Link Wikidata

Mix'n'match
Is a tool written for connecting external sources to Wikidata IMSLP is 958 ==> you can see an overview of number of items that are matched/automatched or not matched.....

My thought if we could get a list from you with

• IMSLP id
• Wikipedia URL
• VIAF

this matching will go faster....
