The WikibaseMigrator, also known as the Beam-me-up tool, automates the complex process of transferring data from Wikidata to FactGrid. Traditional methods such as manual creation or imports through QuickStatements and OpenRefine often prove to be time-consuming and error-prone. This new tool simplifies the entire process by automatically mapping properties and items between the two Wikibase instances, having already performed over 18,000 successful edits.
How to Migrate Entities
The migration process requires only Wikidata IDs as input and offers three flexible input methods: you can enter a single ID, provide a comma-separated list of IDs (make sure you do not end with a comma), or use a SPARQL query. After entering the IDs in the input field, a preview table displays the selected entities with their English labels, allowing you to verify your selection before proceeding.
When you click “Run matching!”, the tool queries the selected entities’ data from Wikidata and begins the translation process.
