Ist es ein schlechtes Zeichen, dass die Gewährleistungsfrist auf den Wagen des ICEs, mit dem ich gleich fahren will, vor zwei Monaten abgelaufen ist?

Are you all editing your #wikidata items? It certainly looks like it 🙂

A global map of digital humanists according to #wikidata. Obviously heavily biased towards central Europe and a SPARQL query that will return all affiliations for a person in order to avoid running into time outs. But nevertheless, if you add yourself […]

Far too early for a Sunday morning, I am on my way to #dh2025. Unfortunately I did not manage to find a train connection that would have taken less than 24 h

I didn’t manage to focus on preparing a workshop I’ll be teaching on Friday and thus I wrote a #sparql query instead to map the global distribution of periodicals in publication languages from the Eastern Mediterranean (Arabic, Ottoman, Greek, Ladino […]

I just figured out that combing markerclusters with layers in #sparql queries visualising results from #wikidata on maps can give you a nice coloured classification of periodicals by publishing language.

Unfortunately the query is too long for posting […]

Map showing Tunisia.The city of Tunis is the centre of star-shaped rays terminating in differently coloured dotes. Each dot stands for a periodical published between 1850 and 1930. Colour signifies publication language. Colours are dominated by green (Arabic), Red (Judeo-Arabic), and Blue (French)

This is a first: فروق was an Ottoman newspaper published in Athens in 1911. But apparently they didn’t have access to movable-type and lithographed a handwritten paper using a printed template to print into.

I just discovered that in #zotero emojis added to tags will be displayed leading the reference title in the main window, similarly to coloured tags. This allows to somewhat circumvent the limitation of 9 coloured tags to organise a library by reading status and project context.
