Wikidata will be turning 7, yet it is still fairly young. We are merely beginning to explore its potential as a teaching and learning platform in Academia. Wikidata has the potential to not only help its users find precise and meaningful data, or explore various topics for learning purposes; but also help educate the general public about how to interpret the data they encounter, recognize knowledg...

In order to properly receive donations to Wikidata the new data must be imported in as controlled and systematic manner as possible. It is important to track imports and ensure that there is as little duplication of work as possible. With these issues in mind, John Cummings and Navino Evans created the Wikidata Dataset Import pages and began using them for tracking their work importing data from U...

With almost 60 million items, Wikidata is an incredible knowledge base for human and machine systems, and a testament to the power of collaborative work. But is "the wonderful world of open data" that wonderful? Drawing on their experiences as a data researcher and former Wikimedian, Os Keyes will step through the assumptions and tensions built into the theory and practice of Wikidata. In doing so...

In 2016 the Stadtmuseum Berlin hosted a temporary exhibition entitled "Berlin – Stadt der Frauen". The exhibition comprised works by female artists, who had enjoyed prominence in the past, but had subsequently been ignored by the male-dominated academy. As a result, these artists are underrepresented in the literature and rarely mentioned in secondary sources, which presents a challenge: How does...

This talk will present an update on building a project on top of Wikidata, from our experience on Inventaire. Inventaire does two things regarding Wikidata: reuse its items data and extend it in a local database reusing a very similar data model. In both aspects, we regularly encounter difficulties as the community redefines some properties, or some P31 values, which may break the expectations on...

How are different emerging communities adding their knowledge to Wikidata and also leveraging this data to improve other Wikimedia projects such as creating Wikidata driven Infoboxes, using ArticlePlaceholder to create basic entries about missing topics on Wikipedia and using Listeria bot to create indexes on Wikisource? How the Indic community has been filling the existing gaps on Wikidata with t...

The Role of Wikidata within Data Ecosystems that Extend Beyond the Realm of Wikimedia Projects In this session the four speakers will shed light on the role of Wikidata in the context of data ecosystems that serve usage scenarios that reach beyond the realm of Wikimedia projects. They will present concrete data publication projects they have been involved in and discuss how Wikidata is complementa...

Project WikiLoop is an engineering effort initiated by Google engineers, based on Google's big data resources, to contribute knowledge to open knowledge ecosystems such as Wikipedia, adhering to Wikipedia community policies. Search engines have been relying on the health of the open knowledge world, most notably Wikipedia. Yet there are few established efforts to allow continuous contributions of...

When it comes to language in Wikidata there are two key pieces to look at. the multilinguality of the data - being able to see and contribute data in your language. the lexicographical data part of Wikidata - collecting data about words in any language. We've made great strides over the past 2 years in both areas. But how far have we really come? What works well and what doesn't yet? What's becomi...

This is the story of how a dusty old volume about famous Welsh people came to be a slick digital experience powered by Wikidata. In 2013 the Dictionary of Welsh Biography was first made available online. 2 years later we engaged volunteers in a 'MIx & Match project to add entries to Wikidata (about 4500), since then the data has been improved several times by extracting data in tagged text fil...

This talk revisits the theme of personal privacy in the digital world, this time centring around the "I've got nothing to hide" argument. A beam of intensive light is shed upon the motivation behind caring about one's privacy. We go in depth into what we can do to stay private and should we even try to do it at all. We talk about where we as an global society were able to fix privacy and where we...

Der Vortrag zeigt das Ausmaß der Überwachung und die Macht der Algorithmen auf, und erarbeitet dann Kriterien für Algorithmen die mehr Fairness und Gerechtigkeit liefern sollen. Algorithmen greifen auf Grund der immer stärkeren Datensammlung (vor allem durch große IT-Konzerne) immer tiefer in das Leben aller Menschen ein. Entscheidungen über uns werden durch Algorithmen getroffen, Algorithmen lenk...

**The Fediverse Network** is fully decentralized and runs on completely different business models than the centralised OSN platform giants - and it's growing fast.
