Resolve Wikidata entities

meta.yaml is the executable contract. Use only released operations.

<!-- BEGIN GENERATED OPERATION STATUS -->

Current catalogue release status

meta.yaml is authoritative. Execute only operations listed as Released below; other sections in this playbook may document provider or unreleased adapter scope.

Released

• global/wikidata/entities:search-entities — Search labels, aliases, or IDs and return disambiguation metadata plus a continuation offset.

<!-- END GENERATED OPERATION STATUS -->

Workflow

1. Inspect the operation and choose the correct entity type and language:

``bash catalogue data show global/wikidata/entities:search-entities ``

1. Retrieve candidate entities:

``bash catalogue query global/wikidata/entities --operation search-entities \ --input '{"q":"OpenAI","language":"en","type":"item","limit":10}' ``

1. Compare IDs, descriptions, match, match_type, and match_language.

Follow page.next_continue when more candidates are relevant.

1. Inspect the selected entity's statements and references with a separately

capable operation, then corroborate consequential claims in primary records.

Source boundary

This skill wraps wbsearchentities: labels/aliases/IDs in, candidate metadata out. It does not retrieve arbitrary statements, qualifiers, references, ownership, or cross-database identifiers. The first result is not necessarily the intended entity.

Read the API reference for language, type, and continuation semantics and the query guide for a reproducible disambiguation workflow.

Failure handling

A missing candidate may reflect language, alias, type, spelling, ranking, or pagination. Try a native-language label or justified fallback and check next_continue. Do not invent offsets or claim a universal absence.
