Updating Wikidata with data from Artsy

edit

After spending some time familiarizing ourselves with the process of manually creating and editing Items, we moved onto some basic QuickStatement updates.

By the end of the day we were able to enter basic biographical facts from Artsy's CSVs into Wikidata in one fell swoop, by batching up several QuickStatement instructions as follows:

# COMPACT VERSION -- see below for annotated version
CREATE
LAST	Len	"Amina Benbouchta"
LAST	Den	"Moroccan contemporary artist"
LAST	P2042	"amina-benbouchta"
LAST	P106	Q483501	S2042	"amina-benbouchta"
LAST	P106	Q1281618	S2042	"amina-benbouchta"
LAST	P21	Q6581072	S2042	"amina-benbouchta"
LAST	P27	Q1028	S2042	"amina-benbouchta"

Using pywikibot to update Wikidata

edit

We created a PAWS Python script that would take metadata from the CSVs Artsy provided on Genes and added that data to existing Wikidata documents. You can get our bot on GitHub.

This should provide enough structure for further expansion to multiple genes, and recurring uploads.
