The ezwd command creates Wikidata items from a simple YAML/JSON record via a named property mapping. It is dry-run by default — add -w to write.
ezwd -s "Robert David"
ezwd -m scholar --list-mappings
Record robert_david.yaml:
label: Robert David
description: knowledge graph researcher
instanceof: Q5
orcid: "0000-0002-3244-5341"
dblp: "173/3493-1"
linkedInId: "robert-david-39b47692"
# dry-run (nothing written)
ezwd -m scholar -r robert_david.yaml
# write to production Wikidata
ezwd -m scholar -r robert_david.yaml -w
This created Q140424194 for Robert David (instance of human, ORCID, DBLP, LinkedIn). Only include an identifier once you have verified it belongs to this exact person — do not bulk-copy IDs from an author record that may aggregate homonyms.
ezwd -m scholar -r robert_david.yaml --test # target test.wikidata.org
ezwd -m scholar -r robert_david.yaml --baseurl https://www.wikidata.org
Note: test.wikidata.org uses different property / item IDs than production, so a production-PID mapping (like scholar) will not validate there without a test-specific mapping.
