VanderBot is a loosely-defined set of Python scripts (1) designed to help humans be more efficient at acquiring, editing, and writing information to Wikidata. It is based on mapping spreadsheets to the Wikibase model using a schema based on a W3C standard for generating RDF data (2). It differs from QuickStatements (which can also be used to write spreadsheet data to Wikidata) in that the mapping schema makes it possible to download existing data into a spreadsheet as well as to generate RDF triples based on the spreadsheet that can be used to compare the local spreadsheet data to current data in Wikidata using a federated SPARQL query. Those queries make it possible to detect changes to the uploaded data -- both value added by community members and potential vandalism by bad actors.
