| − | Looks like you've successfully ported over an infobox for Mr. Sagan. If you figure out the ASK parser to handle subqueries, you're going to soon become armed and dangerous. PS Hopefully, we'll have file upload working tomorrow to start building out graphics. I'm really interested in uploading Adobe/MS Office type docs - it could become invaluable for catalog info, ad runs, coupons, presentations, etc. --[[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 21:18, 16 November 2006 (PST)

| + | Hi Greg, |
| | | | |
| − | ::Your Directory listing looks good. You might want to double check some of your data elements - it looks like you have some company type attributes. People have add'l info tags eg birth city along with city (residence), person_first_name instead of person_name, etc. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 07:53, 4 December 2006 (PST)
| + | Do you think there's any chance you'll be updating the math parser, whatever it is, any time soon? I'd like to keep MyWikiBiz as my main work wiki and I've been trying to fix all the problems with MathJax or whatever it is, but it just doesn't look doable anymore. Here's how one of my math sections looks on three different wikis: |
| | | | |
| − | ==Copy from Gregory J. Kohs discussion==

| − | The residence link in the infobox_person was missing - the template wasn't as well constructed as infobox_company. I went through the template and tuned it up + made a few modifications. Let me know what you think.

| − | If you'd like, feel free to create new attributes for birth_date, birth_place, death_death and death_place. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 08:32, 3 December 2006 (PST)
| + | * Wikiversity |
| | + | : https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:JonAwbrey/Sandbox |
| | | | |
| − | : I ended up creating these attributes for [[Directory:Carl Sagan|Carl Sagan]]. Feel free to update your site using the respective attributes.
| + | Aside from the overall readability issues, there's problems with underlining and failure to distinguish serif and sans serif characters that I use for a critical math distinction. |
| | | | |
| − | : Note: the first birthday/deathday reference includes month/day -> we want that reference style so that days are sub-pages of months (for almanac reports eg births, deaths, etc). However, to search specific attributes, month & day have to be treated separately. That's why the last category 'reference' is used as a placeholder to record specific values. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 12:30, 3 December 2006 (PST) | + | Regards, [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] ([[User talk:Jon Awbrey|talk]]) 22:00, 4 October 2017 (UTC) |
| | | | |
| − | :: We will probably have to discuss this "month/day" format, or I will have to spend some time thinking about it. I just don't understand it yet; but as a layman, it just seems awfully odd when we get these pages like "December/20". But, you're saying that the Wikipedia method of "December_20" would not work well within semantic search? I guess I get it -- people may want to search for either December, or December 20, but if the label is "December_20", that won't work for the "just any December" searches. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 18:47, 3 December 2006 (PST) | + | :Frankly, there is zero chance that I would personally update the math parser, because I'm not technically inclined. The last time we had a major overhaul to the platform was in 2014. That took an outside contractor to execute, and the cost was around $900. I am just guessing that a math parser update would potentially set off a domino effect of requiring an update to the Mediawiki root platform, and thus I could be "in" for another $1,000-ish cost. Your most popular page, '''Logical graph''', got 62 hits from around the globe in the past month. For 2 hits a day, I really can't justify the potential budget outlay. Is there any way you would commit to splitting the cost and working with me to find an appropriate contractor? - [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] ([[User talk:MyWikiBiz|talk]]) 16:50, 5 October 2017 (UTC) |
| | | | |
| − | :::Exactly. December_20 & December/20 aren't really that different from a straight text reference perspective. Actually, I think Centiare's method is better, since day dates are natural sub-pages of months. Either way, once a reader is on the Dec 20 page, ASK can run queries on that specific date eg births, deaths, etc. That is, as long as the semantic tags record the '''individual data elements''' as to month, day & year.

| | | | |
| − | You'll notice that the {{flagicon|US}} is placed after locations in infobox_person (instead of before as in _company). That's because birth location is below birth date - the flag looked weird hanging out in the open. Play around with the placement if you'd like.

| − | | |
| − | ==Legal notes==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that persons within Directory listings using infobox_person should provide contact & reference information. That because even if they're dead, by definition, if they're within the Directory namespace, that means they have commercial value; ergo there should be contact info + reference information.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For example, [[Directory:Carl Sagan|Carl Sagan]] has a link to his estate that generates licensing revenue from his name/works/image. OTOH, Newton is public domain, so he shouldn't be listed under Directory - rather, he should be included within Main page articles.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I guess we (interested?) could create another infobox_person for Main page entries - ie no longer any commercial rights. There's a lot of stuff in infobox_person that could be cleaned up/removed to create a new version for non-commercial public figures. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 12:30, 3 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Occupational Codes==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Should we use NAICS as occupational codes or go full bore and incorporate official occ codes? I think I already know the answer you're going to give me. If that's the case, should Portals be NAICS or a level above that branch to NAICS & OCC?
| |
| − | | |
| − | Off the cuff, I'd rather just add a link to ''Individuals'' (ie occ codes) from the main portal entry - sort of like a special sub-portal. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 09:29, 4 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Just moved this section to the bottom. That's the wiki "policy" -- new threads always go to the bottom of Discussion pages.
| |
| − | :Assuuming that by OCC, you mean the Census [http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/cens_001_043.html classified index of occupations]? Or, perhaps you mean the BLS's [http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/soc_11.html Standard Occupational Codes]? Either way, if you look at those links, I don't see any granularity between a Board Chairman, a CEO, a CFO, a CIO, or a Railroad Commissioner, for that matter.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :If I'm understanding you correctly, then I would agree that a link to ''Individuals'' (with the wide array of different occupational codes, so that we can accomodate a [http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/cens_300_354.html chiropractor], we can. However, wouldn't the chiropractor more simply just align himself (sorry for the pun) with the appropriate NAICS code of 62131? I'm unsure at this time, but currently I'm dubious of Centiare encouraging individuals to identify themselves more by their occupational role than by the NAICS Industry they serve. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 09:51, 4 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::Greg, these are the types of answers I like. KISS would suggest using NAICS, but OTOH, one doesn't want to take shortcuts that miss picking up crucial data. (That is, if OCC added add'l granularity; but, as your example points out, NAICS really does define what an entity does, whether it's a company or individual.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::If we stick with NAICS, then not only do the Portals remain as they are, but ASK queries can then produce listings based on either person_names and/or company_names. Even better, since I know you're wondering, we could search for people within companies. Like I've said before, the sky really is the limit once individual data elements are captured. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 10:00, 4 December 2006 (PST)

| − | | |
| − | ==Infobox Proliferation==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I was experimenting with infobox_actor for [[Directory:Marilyn Monroe|Marilyn Monroe]] when I realized that these types of individual infoboxes are all just derivative templates from the primary infobox_person. That is, they shared 90% of the same info such as birthday, occupation, etc. with the only differences being that actor had some data elements for movies, etc.
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, there is a '''BIG''' problem at WP as far as consistency that we really want to avoid. To be more specific, infobox_person uses birth_date, while actor was birthday. Not only is this bad for templates, but it's really compounded with semantic tags.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The solution is to create a ''very firm'' policy covering 4 or so primary infoboxes that should always be used as baselines: company, NPO, person & government. Actors could then use a specialty infobox_actor to cover items specific to that biz (IMDB could provide a good data schema), while churches could have their own in addition to the std NPO.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Let me know what you think. Check out [[Directory:Marilyn Monroe|Marilyn Monroe]] for a good example. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 13:56, 4 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :'''Update''' What I'm really describing are ''''occupational'''' infoboxes e.g. actor, author, artist, musician, professor, etc. It should be pretty straightforward to link these infoboxes to the occupational data element within the main infobox_person.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Ditto for industry infoboxes e.g. churches can have a an infobox for their particular NAICS code which links off the primary NPO infobox. Likewise for commercial enterprises within infobox_company, and government types (city, country, district, state, etc) from the primary infobox_govt. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 15:03, 4 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::Just so I understand, would this mean that a person would always have an Infobox_Person, but if they also want to indicate they're an actor, they would have an ADDITIONAL Infobox_Actor on the page with just information that's useful for actors (and for which the community could establish guidelines)? Since you can build multiple infoboxes on one page, like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Prodigenous_Zee/Run_to_the_Hills_infobox&action=edit this song page], I think that we have the best policy in saying that company, NPO, person, and government are fixed and approved Infoboxes, while anything else should be "addenda" to the fundamental boxes. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 06:59, 6 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :::Yes, we lock in company, NPO, gov't, person, and ''property'' with std infoboxes. [I guess we now have person (entity/individual), place & thing.] All other infoboxes will be considered supplemental. Your song example should have a property infobox, then a song infobox.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :::'''Sidenote''': if a song is in the public domain (eg Oh Sussana), then it it would be (a) placed in the Main space, (b) NOT have an infobox_property, (c) BUT have an infobox_song.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :::This type of organization will lend itself very well to further granularization for all types of listings eg actors, authors, recording artists, business groupings, etc, etc. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 07:20, 6 December 2006 (PST)

| − | ==Coordinates==
| |
| − | If you put in coordinates for ICR, then we can check the triple-search facility to see if it produces accurate results as the granularity of specific locations is reduced (ie scope out). I'm thinking I may have to reclassify lat/long from strings to integers so that the attributes can be searched as a range of numeric values (like population).

| |
| − | | |
| − | ::Looks like lat/long is already working as string values. ICR is 39.8... while MWB is 39.9... Searching on 39.8 produces only ICR, while 39.9 brings up you & MWB. At 39. it brings up all three. I always like it when things work out without having to deal with a new set of technical issues.

| − | | |
| − | ===Geographical Categories===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The string coordinates also work within an ASK query for ranges. Check out a query example [[Portal:Information#Coordinates|here]]. Note that I took out company_name, so you show up as well. This raises an interesting point: while industry portals provide a good entry point, they don't serve pure geo searches regardless of entity type (biz, person, etc).
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm thinking we may want to create some geo categories where ASK queries can reside, such as country, state, city, & coordinates. It also suggests we may want categories to segregate private vs public companies, commercial enterprises vs NPOs, etc, etc.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Of course, these types of searches could all be done within NAICS, but then it would only be companies classified within a particular NAICS. If one wanted to perform a global search outside the std industry parameters, categories may be the way to go. Thoughts? [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 16:42, 9 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Not trying to be flip, but I just had two quick reactions (and I'm really, really tired) -- (A) If you mean traditional "Categories" as on Wikipedia; I thought semantic tagging would liberate us from the mess that categories are? And, (B) aren't these various searches best left to the future Centiare community to ponder and implement? --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 21:42, 9 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::Valid points. I believe ''(page) relationships'' are an attempt to address WP's weakness and lack of organization in categories; ''attributes'' are more specifically related to actual data values.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::As such, some primary reports need a home not only to produce general information, but also to provide pointers & tips to others wishing to develop their own queries. My question was: where do you think we should put some of these queries?
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::For example, one could put an ASK query listing of ''all'' Calif entities under the California main page, a project page called California, or a category called California entities. I think limited use of categories for our purposes may be the way to go. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 07:23, 10 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :::Okay, then. I think that ASK queries on each of the 50 states would be plenty good to provide an "example" for users wishing to develop queries, plus be mighty interesting for even the users who aren't. I think it should go on the California (Pennsylvania, Florida, Colorado) Main space articles, and that we should try to hold back on resorting to categories yet. Additionally, I agree that an ASK query on each of the Main pages related to public for-profit, private for-profit, non-profit, and people would be very useful and interesting. Of course, as Centiare grows, these queries are going to produce almost TOO many results to be useful, and that will be a lovely problem to have! --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 15:07, 10 December 2006 (PST)

| − | ==Resume Listings==
| |
| − | Greg, as you can see, I added a few more infobox_Person semantic tags to your personal page. Would you like to create a separate resume section in order to experiment with CV formatting? We now have the following semantic tags for each employment period - please make edits/recommendations as needed:
| |
| − | * naics_code1_title (occupation)
| |
| − | * naics_code1
| |
| − | * job_title1
| |
| − | * employer_name1
| |
| − | * job_period1 (eg 2001-present)
| |
| − | * job_years1
| |
| − | * salary1
| |
| − | | |
| − | I expect there would be lots of searches on occupation & experience (ie job years).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Btw, please feel free to add add'l attributes as needed - 2,3,4... All you have to do is copy the existing attribute page, create a new page in the series, paste & save.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Personal Attributes===
| |
| − | OK, made a few more tweaks to the infobox_person and added some more attributes. Please take a look at your listing and think about which items should be moved to either (a) add'l personal info (Infobox_Personal) and (b) detailed job information (Infobox_Resume).
| |
| − | | |
| − | I think most of the info now in your infobox should be moved out - it's starting to look very busy. I think we should have something fairly spare that really pops out at the reader. They can scroll down for add'l info. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 08:03, 14 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Greg, take a look at your directory listing. I broke out some elements from infobox_person and put them into infobox_personal. Next, I'm going to pull out the occupation stuff and put it into a new infobox to be called, 'natch, infobox_resume. I think the infobox_person looks real clean and provides a good ''snap'' impression to anyone browsing the site.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One happy realization of the power of both infobox_personal & resume is that registered users can use them on their user pages without having to create directory listings. See mine [[user:Karl Nagel|here]] (assume I had an ID like '''[[user:eshock|eshock]]'''). Why is this an advantage? Anonymous listings baby. Think about resume searches and/or MySpace types of personal interest searches. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 11:42, 14 December 2006 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Specialty Attributes===
| |
| − | In your [[Help:Annotation|annotation]] overview, you may wish to explain some of the advantages of using ordinal identifiers (Centiare convention is numbers) to differentiate certain attributes. The two general cases are: (a) when ''values'' are variable/non-standard eg job titles vs movie titles (which means one searches on attributes, not attribute '''values'''); and (b) when attributes have relations to other attributes eg key person<->job title.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In this way, friends/interests don't require ordinal identifiers, unless at some point there are secondary attribute relations, eg friends<->gender, interests<->summer/winter, etc.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In addition, you may wish to point out that subjects such as interests can also be semantically tagged as ''relations'', since common Directory or Main pages can be interlinked to multiple users via ASK queries (see [[Skiing]], etc). [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 10:40, 3 January 2007 (PST)

| − | ===Final Edits===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Greg, please take a look at your Directory listing. We need to do a few things: (a) finalize person, resume & personal infoboxes; and (b) finalize your info. I guess there are two primary questions: (1) are we picking up all information we need? (If not, what needs to be added?), and (2) where should it be placed?
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please note that we don't need to spend too much time formatting the infoboxes. As long as the (complete list of) data elements are being captured, the infoboxes can always be edited/reformatted as part of an ongoing process.
| |
| − | | |
| − | PS I messed up your coordinates - I copied your church's over for placeholder values.

| − | I finished putting together a [[Directory:MyWikiBiz#Internal links|little table]] that summarizes whatever internal links someone wishes to summarize. The same feature could be generated automatically by categories, but that would require users clicking through to another page rather than seeing a nice summary on the entry page. Likewise, the same report could be generated by ASK if we had something like a page_author attribute tagged on each page.
