Qichwabase: Difference between revisions

Qichwabase is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Quechua language and knowledge. It can be used to learn about Quechua words and phrases, to find translations of Quechua words into other languages, and to explore its usefulness in various escenarios <ref name="HuamanHH23">Getting Quechua Closer to Final Users through Knowledge Graphs, arXiv, https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.12608</ref>, such as Question Answering, Dialogue Systems, Entity linking, Knowledge Validation, and Collaborative Community.

Qichwabase is still under development, but it already contains a significant amount of knowledge, we have started modeling open Quechua lexical data from [https://runasimi.de/runadeut.htm Runasimi Dictionary], and plan to include data from other sources, such as attestations and frequency information from Quechua webcorpora<ref name="HuamanLK23">Huaman et al.: QICHWABASE: A Quechua Language and Knowledge Base for Quechua Communities, arXiv, https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.06173</ref>. Currently, Qichwabase includes:

* Over 1 million triples (or statements) about Quechua words

* Translations of Quechua words into other languages, e.g. English, German, Italian, and Spanish

The Ontology Classes and Properties listed here do not include the Ontolex core classes used by default in a Wikibase. For how lexicographical data is represented in a wikibase, see the [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Lexicographical_data/Documentation documentation pages] at Wikidata.

For hosting the Qichwabase we chose Wikibase, which allows knowledge to be represented as a semantically structured data. For instance, we rely on the SPARQL enpoint for querying and exploiting the knowledge. You can explore the queries in the [https://qichwa.wikibase.cloud/query/ SPARQL enpoint] or try out the following queries:  

See also [[SPARQL queries|SPARQL queries page]].

Wibibase provides a set of tools that we can use for validating the knowledge before it is entered on Qichwabase. For instance, we are defining [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EntitySchema EntitySchemas] in order to create forms to be filled in. The ShEx constraints are defined on [[Project:Cradle]] and/or defined as an EntitySchema wiki page. See some EntitySchemas:
