Yelagiri hills: WUaS is planning to matriculate students this autumn 2017, and would like to get our new Wiki up and working emerging from Wikidata (with CC MIT OCW added for a beginning "course catalog" - and even a "You at WUaS" site up and running) and with a MediaWiki (or possibly Wikiversity) "front end," As you know WUaS seeks to be a growth story for the Internet, and to become major universities in all countries' main and official languages, as well as to create eventually wiki schools in all 7,097 known living languages for open teaching and learning. WUaS seeks to become the Harvard / MIT / Stanford of the web in each of all languages, "What World University and School would like to add to Wikidata, And WUaS also has another planned wing, which should benefit Wikidata pragmatically, around WUaS's 14 planned revenue streams, How best to begin this process?

What World University and School would like to add to Wikidata[edit]

I don't understand what you are proposing - you want to add "opencourseware" to wikidata? You mean add items for each course? I suppose that's reasonable. Please bear in mind wikidata is CC-0 (other wikimedia sites have different rules) so in particular no copyrighted material should be placed in wikidata. ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:06, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes and great - WUaS would like to add CC "opencourseware" to wikidata, and probably items from each course, each course to become a wiki subject page at WUaS, and eventually for translation into each of all 200 countries' main languages, building upon the open licensing of MIT OCW Translated Courses (https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/) . Thanks for the heads' up about CC licensing consistency: MIT OCW is CC 4.0 - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ (https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm) - so we'd have to work out the licensing further. Scott WUaS (talk) 20:41, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

@Scott WUaS: What do you mean by "adding opencourseware"? Do you mean adding links to the videos/materials? It would be easier if you would create some test items on https://test.wikidata.org/ , there you can create all the properties that you need and show an example. After that you can propose the missing properties on WD:PP.--Micru (talk) 10:03, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

@Micru: In addition to adding the main OCW URL, particularly from MIT OCW in its 7 languages (but also Yale OYC), to Wikidata so that each course can appear in each of the Subjects here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects - (and also so that any given course can be listed in the top 1/3 section of, for example, the Economics' wiki subject pages (both macro and micro) - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Economics - emerging newly in probably MediaWiki), WUaS would also like to explore creating a wiki page for each MIT OCW course, based on the SUBJECT TEMPLATE - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE - which informs all ~720 WUaS Wikia pages, and also anticipate/plan for translation of MIT OCW into all countries' main languages for credit. This may include adding all the links from any given MIT OCW course, for example, newly to an individual WUaS MIT OCW course page in Wikidata/Mediawiki. Thanks very much for letting me know about https://test.wikidata.org/ which I didn't know about. Could we possibly please develop this together in https://test.wikidata.org/, since I don't know coding in Wikidata very well? Thank you. Scott WUaS (talk) 00:20, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

@Scott WUaS: Perhaps it is better that you take a look first at how Wikidata works here: Help:Contents. Then you can see other items and properties to see how it is done. And finally use test wikidata to practice with creating items and properties to model your data.--Micru (talk) 10:56, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

- The mission of Wikidata is all knowledge, and multichill: World University donated itself to Wikidata in October 2015 per Lydia and other Wikidatans. (See, too https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page and https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Mission_statement). In World University's knowledge generating mission, and having donated it to Wikidata, and in our CC MIT OCW in 7 languages' centricity, WUaS seeks to create knowledge generating universities and schools in all 8k languages. Building on beginning WUaS in MediaWiki on January 6, 2016, in both English and German (but not in Wikidata at the time), CC WUaS seeks to accredit on MIT OCW in its 7 languages https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm & https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ and Yale OYC http://oyc.yale.edu/courses to create major wiki universities, and offer free CC degrees, in all countries' main languages. WUaS also seeks to become a growth story for Wikidata. WUaS also has another planned wing, which should benefit Wikidata pragmatically, around WUaS's 14 planned revenue streams - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html. Wikidata, which seeks to be a platform of all knowledge, will further this with World University. WUaS also dovetails with Wikidata's "Welcome" - "Wikidata is a free and open knowledge base that can be read and edited by both humans and machines.Wikidata acts as central storage for the structured data of its Wikimedia sister projects including Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Wikisource, and others. Wikidata also provides support to many other sites and services beyond just Wikimedia projects! The content of Wikidata is available under a free license, exported using standard formats, and can be interlinked to other open data sets on the linked data web" - for one.

@Micru: Thanks very much. I'll seek to begin building World University and School in https://test.wikidata.org to practice creating items and properties to model WUaS's, MIT OCW's and Yale OYC's data. Scott WUaS (talk) 17:57, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
