List missing parties and fill out in Wikidata

[MansMeg]

We should start filling out parties for those MPs who are currently missing this. We will do that in the following steps:

• @BobBorges updates the file delivered by Lirre to wiki data
• @BobBorges creates a file with the historical MPs that are missing party
• @BobBorges setup a Google sheet (and share it here) so everyone can help out
• @Lottabrorsson , Mattias, @fredrik1984 , @liamtabib and others help out to fill out the list with missing parties based on the biobook
• @BobBorges makes an update of the wikidata metadata to the corpus
• @BobBorges include the manually checked parties as a unit test in the corpus (i.e. to check that this has not changed when updating with data from wikidata)

Example odd thing that I marked depreciated and contemporary constraint issue

• Q5813810

says in Tvåkammar Riksdagen (h) that I thought was Högerpartiet Q111033682 but my understanding is that this name started in 1952 and more correct is Högerns riksorganisation Q122599272

My try in Wikidata

• Q5813810?uselang=sv#P102

• see also WD items marked as Q120143028 Welfare analytics - party - also explained on issue #324

To get something started I mark those WD records were I see a potential problem with P5008 on focus list of Wikimedia project = Q120143028 - Välfärden analyserad - parti

SPARQL list - > 200 items right now

[BobBorges]

Have we settled on using historical party names?

On the file I got back from Lirre, a handful of rows have party lmb with party_id:Q110843 and historical_party_id:Q10554125.

[fredrik1984]

Yes. We discussed this last Friday. We will focus on adding the actual historical party names. Then researchers can create aggregated party names based on our work.

However, it might be that we will do something like this anyway. But the priority should be to focus on the empirical data.

[MansMeg]

Yes. We should only store the historical data. Ie the party they belonged to for a given date.

[BobBorges]

Here's a google sheet with MPs missing at least one party affiliation in our metadata:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bywraAUEoRy-XPNjfk-7rpMhnQKLJc1EvSQyP3S9GII/edit?usp=sharing

It should be open for anyone with the link, but lmk if any of you have trouble opening it.

[fredrik1984]

Excellent! I just asked for permission to edit. I can divide the list between @Lottabrorsson, Mattias, and me.

The principle is to follow the bio books. If a MP never belonged to a party this should also be noted. Also if the MP was a "vilde"

[BobBorges]

I've just added columns start and end (should've been there from the start), so when that info is in the books, pls add it too. And if you find people with multiple affiliations, just duplicate the row and add different parties separately (w/ start/end if possible).

[BobBorges]

I just asked for permission to edit.

I guess the others also have to do that. I didn't get any notice of this request, so Lotta, Mattias, just DM on slack or email me if I don't grant your permissions within a reasonable amount of time :D

[fredrik1984]

Hm, should an MP that does not belong to a party be linked to this: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q327591 ?

I write "no party" in the Google Excel file.

[MansMeg]

Whatever is easiest, I think. But @BobBorges might have other thoughts.

[BobBorges]

I also wrote "None" (python friendly) in one of the rows. I don't see any reason to link nothing to something, but others please weigh in here.

[salgo60]

no party

In Wikidata we use "no value" and add a source like Two-Chamber Parliament 1867-1970. That is a negative statement i.e. The source confirm the lack of party value

see Q5797559#P102 below

• SPARQL
  ?person rdf:type wdno:P102.

• people with source Two-Chamber Parliament 1867-1970.

  • timeline "party = no value" with link SPA / people connected with a party (also vilde) / all Swedish PM people also not connected to the book

.

All Swedish PM people in WD - no value 1184

• Timeline

[BobBorges]

I retract my statement

I don't see any reason to link nothing to something

Explicitly setting no value is a good way to disambiguate people who didn't belong to a party (with a source) from people whose party no one checked/uploaded.

@salgo60 I'll use this when uploading to wikidata

@fredrik1984 @Lottabrorsson (does mattias have github) -- in the google sheet write None or No party and I'll handle the novaluesnak from those values.

@BobBorges Mattias may have some problem with his login but he will look at that tomorrow.

[BobBorges]

Party info from Lirre was added to the google sheet -- will upload everything in one go when the sheet is ready.

[fredrik1984]

So, now I am done with my share of looking up MPs with no wikidata party:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bywraAUEoRy-XPNjfk-7rpMhnQKLJc1EvSQyP3S9GII/edit#gid=336275707

Now, let's wait for Lotta and Mattias and then Bob can add these.

[salgo60]

if you add to Wikidata add a source just party with no source can easily be deleted as not trusted...

[MansMeg]

Yes. We should add a source. We should also use this google sheet that Fredrik put there as a unit test for the corpus to check that these party affiliations are included in the corpus. I added that as a task above.

[BobBorges]

By chance, I found two entries in the manual data, where the MPs should get assigned No party, but exist in Wikidata with a party, which is also present on the referenced pages in the bio books.

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5967169

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5574217

Am I missing something here, or it's an error with the manual data? @fredrik1984 @Lottabrorsson

[fredrik1984]

It looks like a manual error (probably by me since Lotta and Mattias are so thorough)! Hence, the should be assigned parties (lmp in both cases).

[BobBorges]

@Lottabrorsson @fredrik1984 These are the remaining questions after updating wikidata from the manual work you did with party membership. Could you take a second look at these cases?

@BobBorges @fredrik1984 I can look at them. Get back to you later this week.

[fredrik1984]

Great work Bob! And thank you Lotta for taking a look at these MPs that Bob listed. Get back to me if you need input.
