wikidata labels in random languages

[andrecastro0o]

Description of the problem

I am playing with Skosmos 3.0 and the the Getty AAT concepts. I was looking to include skos:exactMatch values with each concept. But I noticed something of a bug: Wikidata labels appear, but in seemingly random language - ky, nds - , as you can see in image bellow, followed by the concepts' TTL.

I am not familiar with the source code, so I did not look any further. But I imagine there is some issue with queries to wikidata and their labels.

Additional information (e.g. screenshots) about the problem

concept TTL is Skomos

The browser you used when the problem appeared

firefox

i tried changing the lang values in the API call to /mappings/

• from: http://localhost:9090/rest/v1/AATC/mappings?uri=http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300189557&external=true&lang=en-US&clang=en (default performed by front-end)
• to: http://localhost:9090/rest/v1/AATC/mappings?uri=http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300189557&external=true&lang=en
  lang=en-US&clang=en > lang=en

which makes me suspect I might need to configure a language setting somewhere. Will look into it a bit more

Thank you for the extremely detailed report. I think we've seen this too.

[osma]

I think this happens when Skosmos doesn't find a label in the language it expects. Then it will fall back on any label. So maybe in your case Skosmos was looking for a en-US label in Wikidata, couldn't find one, and then chose whatever other language.

Not saying this is the correct thing to do, just trying to understand the problem better.

[andrecastro0o]

thanks for your quick reply @osma . That seems to be eaxctly what is happening.
I reduced the number of skosmos:languages in Skosmos/dockerfiles/config/config-docker-compose.ttl

    skosmos:languages (
        [ rdfs:label "en" ; rdf:value "en_GB.utf8" ]
        [ rdfs:label "en-US" ; rdf:value "en_US.utf8" ]
        [ rdfs:label "nl" ; rdf:value "nl_NL.utf8" ]
    ) ;

I believe the issue can be closed. Cheers
