rdmo-plugins-wikidata

This plugin implements dynamic option set, that queries the Wikidata Search API at https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php. See Wikidata:Data_access for more information about the different Wikidata endpoints. Please also note the access best practices on the same page.

Setup

Install the plugin in your RDMO virtual environment using pip (directly from GitHub):

pip install git+https://github.com/rdmorganiser/rdmo-plugins-wikidata

Add the plugin to OPTIONSET_PROVIDERS in config/settings/local.py:

OPTIONSET_PROVIDERS += [
    ('wikidata', _('Wikidata Provider'), 'rdmo_wikidata.providers.WikidataProvider')
]

The option set provider should now be selectable for option sets in your RDMO installation. For a minimal example catalog, see the files in xml.

Wikidata's policy asks to add a custom User-Agent to your requests so that they can perform statistical analyses and, if you add an email address, might contact you. This can be done by adding the following to your settings.

WIKIDATA_PROVIDER_HEADERS = {
    'User-Agent': 'rdmo.example.com/0.0 (mail@rdmo.example.com) rdmo-wikidata/1.0'
}
