As talked at the WikidataCon 2017 in Berlin, it is planned to bring together actvities on importing political data to wikidata from different countries. A common issue was to standardize the data model used, so this will be the main purpose of the Wikidata Project/Politics. There i see two main tasks: modelling a general data model for elections on an abstract level and apply the general model to the different nationalities.
Activities
- create a general universal Data Model
- Share Codebase, Tools, etc.
- Make Activities visible
- Create Guide for Beginners on how to use, import and update data
- Import Data -> Online Code Sprint
- expand community: add other projects and people to this
