Recommendation: Look into Recoin

[rodrigomorales1]

@valecarriero HI! I read your message in the Wikidata Ex Musica Telegram group, and wanted to share some information.

..., and suggest a set of properties, and the appropriate range(s) for those properties, to be used with instances of those classes, based on the actual usage in the Wikidata KG.

If you haven't looked into Recool, I think it would be worth looking at for improving this project. Recoin is a gadget in Wikidata that does something similar: It looks up items that have the same value for P31 (instance of) and show the properties that are missing in the current item. For example, here's what Recoin shows in the Wikidata item of Isaac Newton.

Here's the documentation of Recoin. These sections in the documentation might be of your interest:

• Computation (archive)
  • Describes how Recoin computes the recommendations for the properties
• Data Dumps (archive)
  • The data collected by Recoll could be used to compare results that you have obtained
• APIs (archive)
  • You could get newer data than that available in the data dumps
• Further information (archive)
  • It mentions some published papers that discuss about Recoin ([1] (archive), [2] (archive))

I hope this helps!

Hi @rdrg109, thank you for the recommendation! Yes, I already had a look at Recoin, which is a very interesting tool, and with an objective quite similar to ours!

However, even if it is partly similar to my work, it does not suggest possible types for the objects of a property when used with a subject of a specific type, which is something that we integrate in our tool. Moreover, it is interesting for us that, being able to apply our method to any domain-specific subset of Wikidata, we can give some domain-specific recommendations, both for properties (e.g. a commonly used property for humans in the music domain is instrument, while this property is not recommended for e.g. humans in the architecture domain), and for ranges (e.g. a commonly used range for the property occupation when used with humans in the music domain is conservatory, while a commonly used range for the property occupation when used with humans in the architecture domain is art school).

Best, Valentina
