Indeed that is a good one - let's complete the series with provenance data from dblp, wikidata and wikicfp to show what we are up to. Tim could you please try this out with openrefine and avoid redundancy and stick to mandatory fields + provenance data ?

[tholzheim]

Started with:

Used ptp to complete the data:
Code example to extract the data from the json response

import sys
sys.path.append("<Path to python site packages>")
import requests, json
url = requests.get(\"http://ptp.bitplan.com/parse?titles=\"+ value.replace(' ', '+') + \"&examples=example1&format=json&metadebug=on\")
text = url.text
data = json.loads(text)
property = "start_date"
property_value = None
for record in data.get("events"):
   if property in record:
         if property_value is None:
                  property_value = record.get(property)
                  return property_value

Ultimately it lead to the following result

@tholzheim awesome work. This is the direction we'd love to go.

[Julian-tib]

Nice!
Was the series completed automatically based on these results?

[tholzheim]

Based on the acronyms I extracted the missing information from wikidata and ptp and also generated some of them. For Start date and End date were more than half not queryable. I experimented a bit to extract them from the website but the early conferences had the dates as images and therefore I skipped the extraction form the website for the time being. Result was the json file as shown above. The json file was then used to generate the corresponding wikipages

[WolfgangFahl]

For each event we need the proceedings and TIBKat reference e.g. ISBN number / DOI and or TIBKat reference.

https://dblp.org/db/conf/vnc/index.html has the ISBN numbers.

https://confident.dbis.rwth-aachen.de/or/index.php/VNC_2009

We have to discuss with the TIB about this

IFrame usage for CFPs? see https://rq.bitplan.com/index.php/Workdocumentation_2021-04-22

we only need the CFP url for this https://ieee-vnc.org/2021/cfp.html - we could copy the content and reference it via the frontend (as soon as we have one). And the legal fallout of this is also interesting. For me i just want the triple with subject vnc 2021 predicate has cfp link object https://ieee-vnc.org/2021/cfp.html

[tholzheim]

IEEE Xplore has the whole conference series with DOIs.
Is there any chance that we can get an API Key.

[WolfgangFahl]

I'll check options.

[Julian-tib]

https://confident.dbis.rwth-aachen.de/or/index.php?title=Property_talk:ISBN

It seems that there is no central look up system for ISBN or a way to "resolve" ISBNs like one can with DOIs. Some ISBNs can only be found when searching directly in an indexing system like tib.eu or the publishers index. For example although 978-1-4244-5685-7 can be found in TIB KAT and at the publishers website, search engines (e. g. https://www.bookfinder.com/search/?isbn=978-1-424-45685-7&mode=isbn&st=sr&ac=qr) or websites intended to find a ISBN can't find it.

See https://www.doi.org/factsheets/ISBN-A.html for information about differences between ISBN and DOI.

Sticking to using Property:TIBKAT-ISBN might be our best chance to work with ISBNs. Julian Franken (talk) 12:50, 22 April 2021 (CEST)

My main concerns is currently to get the biblographic references at all see #195
