In tidywikidatar: Explore 'Wikidata' Through Tidy Data Frames

Get Wikidata qualifiers for a given property of a given item

Description

N.B. In order to provide for consistently structured output, this function outputs either id or value for each qualifier. The user should keep in mind that some of these come with additional detail (e.g. the unit, precision, or reference calendar).

Usage

tw_get_qualifiers_single(
  id,
  p,
  language = tidywikidatar::tw_get_language(),
  cache = NULL,
  overwrite_cache = FALSE,
  cache_connection = NULL,
  disconnect_db = TRUE,
  wait = 0,
  id_l = NULL
)

Arguments

id	A character vector of length 1, must start with Q, e.g. "Q254" for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
p	A character vector of length 1, a property. Must always start with the capital letter "P", e.g. "P31" for "instance of".
language	Defaults to language set with tw_set_language(); if not set, "en". Use "all_available" to keep all languages. For available language values, see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Wikimedia_language_codes/lists/all
cache	Defaults to NULL. If given, it should be given either TRUE or FALSE. Typically set with tw_enable_cache() or tw_disable_cache().
overwrite_cache	Logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, it overwrites the table in the local sqlite database. Useful if the original Wikidata object has been updated.
cache_connection	Defaults to NULL. If NULL, and caching is enabled, tidywikidatar will use a local sqlite database. A custom connection to other databases can be given (see vignette caching for details).
disconnect_db	Defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, leaves the connection to cache open.
wait	In seconds, defaults to 0. Time to wait between queries to Wikidata. If data are cached locally, wait time is not applied. If you are running many queries systematically you may want to add some waiting time between queries.
id_l	Defaults to NULL. If given, must be an object or list such as the one generated with WikidataR::get_item(). If given, and the requested id is actually present in id_l, then no query to Wikidata servers is made.

Value

A data frame (a tibble) with eight columns: id for the input id, property, qualifier_id, qualifier_property, qualifier_value, rank, qualifier_value_type, and set (to distinguish sets of data when a property is present more than once)

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  tidywikidatar:::tw_get_qualifiers_single(id = "Q180099", p = "P26", language = "en")
}

#' ## using `tw_test_items` in examples in order to show output without calling
## on Wikidata servers

tidywikidatar:::tw_get_qualifiers_single(
  id = "Q180099",
  p = "P26",
  language = "en",
  id_l = tw_test_items
)
