Project parts & components status

Updated 20 June 2019

Completed, evolving

• Topic page
• Navigating via Wikidata items
• Display articles
  • Article translations menu
  • Article placeholder for missing articles or translations
• Reading images via APIs
  • Display images in the Image grid with proper metadata mapping and missing image placeholders
  • Display images in the Image viewer with metadata display, no zoom (media metadata)
• Translations into TranslateWiki
• Gallery of people, works, events (UI html, methods, queries)
• Timeline exists in a preliminary version
• Map component exists and can be developed further
  • Reads historical map layers

Ready to go

• Header content options: Single image, series of portraits, slideshow
• Filter or downgrade extra large images from the Image grid display
• New visualisations using SPARQL data (graph visualisations, geographic shapes and points, family tree, statistics, time series of politicians, rulers etc., containing entity gallery or other type of visualisation)
• Table of contents for a page
• Right to left support in the interface

High priority with blockers (blocker)

• Geolocating tool (local data storage, communicating with sources and Wikimedia Commons)
• User account creation (combatting spam, user data storage modelling in MediaWiki)
• New local item creation (user accounts for editing, federation for using Wikidata properties)
• Local articles (Installing Visual editor, modifying the functions to serve linking, federation blocks linking)
• Allowing user submitted images (define storage location and retrieval, user data)

Low hanging fruit (dependencies)

• Image upload from results to Wikimedia Commons (write methods to Wikimedia Commons, provenance management)
• Image metadata comparison and save into Wikimedia Commons (write methods to Wikimedia Commons, provenance management, local save methods)
• Image curation by making an image action (First actions, methods and data structure to save)
  • First action could be selecting the main image from the results (image save mechanism and metadata mapping)
• Removing from a result set (Persistent menu design, methods and data structure to save)
• Search via selecting text or redlinks (front coding for the selector)
• Medium-like article formatting for reading (Vue code available, design for page behavior.
• Creating the article index for search engines (list of items to include, more mature topic page, link structure settled)
• Create image collections (user data, collection UI)

MVP, minimum viable product for the first iteration will include (this will be discussed with the team and the community):

• Data modelling (corresponding items and properties with Wikidata, API definitions, user generated data, local properties, namespaces)
• Creating topics on-the-fly and one-by-one
• Including articles on the topic page, substituting the links with local links
• Display infoboxes on the topic page
• Display images from external archives on the topic page
• GDPR compliance

The project will start developing this environment first as a plain MediaWiki, but aim for a completely independent front-end during 2018.
