FYI we have had an election in Sweden and a lot of new PMs

The Swedish Wikipedia people has found errors at the Swedish PM open data and they have added more P8388 for one person see example SPARQL. I spoke with the IT people at the Swedish PM 30 minutes ago and they are right now sitting and thinking how they will correct it

The intention is:

• They will have one GUID per person and should correct the error
  • I suggested that they should have an redirect or "same as"

I keep you informed what will happen

• the Swedish dialogue is done on twitter and my sv:Wikipedia talk page

  • I suggest we will speak with the Swedish PM IT people next week to get a status update

• SPARQL to find duplicates

• as Swedish Riksdagen has no public helpdesk page we try to track problems in salgo60/Wikidata_riksdagen-corpus#50

We will try to get you in the loop what is happening...

OT: we have also asked Swedish Riksdagen to create 5 stardata and have same as Wikidata... the future will tell if they do it errors like duplicates would maybe have been avoided

• last year we did a major activity with the Nobelprize.org people and today they have same as Wikidata in the API see API for 2021 Nobelprize winner in Literature = 1004 task T251055

Hi in the Swedish Parlament Open data model we have a status field that indicates if a person is one out of 349 people that are taking part in voting in the parlament see Swedish Notebook , they also have a vuew that just returns 349 people see Notebook Swedish MP status 2

The status are

• Tjänstgörande riksdagsledamot
• Tjänstgörande statsrådsersättare
• Tjänstgörande ersättare
• Förste vice talman (tjänstgörande riksdagsledamot)
• Andre vice talman (tjänstgörande riksdagsledamot)
• Tredje vice talman (tjänstgörande riksdagsledamot)
• Tjänstgörande talmansersättare

Question 1: Do we have something like this for other parlaments?

Question 2: I feel today the SPARQL to get 349 people in the Swedish PM is rather complex. Should we do as the Swedish PM has done denormalize the data modell and make it easier?

Question 3: As this status is the current status it would be nice to have it in a property like current MP position and also that it will be updated rather often.... can your procedures check this?
