Suggesting new relations in ROR from Wikidata | Biopragmatics

I was looking at the different NFDI consortia in the Research Organization Registry (ROR), and found that the only two that have a parent relations to the NFDI (ror:05qj6w324) are NFDI4DS (ror:00bb4nn95) and MaRDI (ror:04ncnzm65). This felt strange to me, so I started looking around Wikidata to see if I could automatically make a curation sheet to send along to them. I found that Wikidata already has detailed pages for all NFDI consortia, and that they also include relationships to the parent. This blog post is about the steps I took to write a workflow to find relationships in Wikidata that are appropriate for submission to ROR.

Nice!

Have you seen https://github.com/NFDI4BIOIMAGE/NFDI4BI-KG?
Some people in the NFDI4BIOIMAGE community have done been things on that space with Wikidata too.

Also, have you tried QLever?

The query you mentioned timing out on WDQS runs fine there: https://qlever.cs.uni-freiburg.de/wikidata/mMB2eu

SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],mul,en". } is tricky, sometimes it bloats the query in unexpected ways

thanks @lubianat and @egonw for both making the same suggestion :) I just updated my post in ea13c2d to mention this explicitly
