I'm interested to find out how I can use the SPARQL endpoint containing the NeuroLex content to identify content that has changed say over the last 1 month and from a given user. Is this type of provenance maintained in the SPARQL endpoint? If yes, can an example SPARQL query be provided?

Otherwise, is there a programmatic way to access the information from the wiki itself to identify a set of Category pages that have been modified? For example, a programmatic way to access content on this page: http://neurolex.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Memartone (i.e. limited to a given user) in order to learn that the page for Copula pyramidis has changed?

Thanks!
Trish

Boy would I love it if you could figure that out.  I'm adding Willy Wong to this thread just in case he's not on this list.

Hi Stephen,

Any further thoughts on being able to programmatically identify changes (additions, updates, deletions) from the wiki? The workflow I am interested in for NIFSTD is to be able to identify approved changes to terms in the wiki and then query the SPARQL endpoint to get all details about the term in order to update NIFSTD. I'm not very familiar with the features of the wiki used for NeuroLex .. is there a Special Page that can be generated with this content and then be made available for download?

Hi Willy,

That sounds promising. Yes, can you send the code to identify changes in the wiki OR point to it's SVN location?

Hi Trish,

I have the Wiki API in Java to crawl the Neurolex page contents and their revisions. 
So that, you can identify the changes. But this API has nothing to do with the SPARQL.
I can send you the source code and libraries if you think it is still useful to you.

Thanks,
Willy

The MediaWiki API may also be useful for this:


Best,
