Lightning talk session 4 about this event: https://c3voc.de

Wikidata now covers general purpose data about a huge number of concepts in the world in order to support Wikipedia, its sister projects and projects outside Wikimedia. Work is also underway to support data about multimedia files on Wikimedia Commons. One large field that we still want to cover is lexicographical data - data about words. In this talk you'll learn about the current state of the pro...

The Wikimedia Foundation and WMDE are currently working to integrate structured data support with the the software that enables Wikidata, Wikibase, into Wikimedia Commons. Structured data will turn Wikimedia Commons into a more engage-able platform from editors and readers, improving discovery, organization and the pathway for small contributions in all of the languages supported by Wikimedia proj...

Wikidata has the ability to serve the needs of many language communities and could change the way computers interact with language online completely - that all depends on the community though. Therefore, I would like to give an introduction in the state of multilingualism, languages and their interconnectedness in Wikidata to understand where we are now and to draw a plan where we want to go. The...

The cooperation between the GND and Wikimedia projects has now been running for about 10 years. The use of GND-Identifiers as references in Wikipedia articles is perhaps the biggest success story. They connect both information networks and their communities. But we believe that this is not nearly the end of cooperative perspectives – especially in regard to wikidata it is rather the starting point...

The sum total of biomedical knowledge is accumulating at an explosive rate. There are now over 1.2 million new articles published every year, averaging to one new article every 26 seconds. Unfortunately, however, the entirety of that knowledge is not easily accessible. In most cases, biomedical knowledge is locked away in free-text research articles, which are very difficult to use for querying an...

GLAMpipe is a tool for acquiring, manipulating and uploading media and data to Wikimedia projects. It has been designed to serve as a mass upload tool to Wikimedia Commons, but we are expanding it for use with data imports to Wikidata. In this tutorial we will go through the use of the tool for both types of use cases: creating a mass upload of images and a data import to Wikidata. The tool's firs...

In July 2017, the EveryPolitician team set out to get consistent data for politicians for 30-40 countries (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/mySociety/EveryPolitician). So how did that go? We’ll talk you through the tactics we deployed — from running online “missions” to generating reports to highlight which data was missing. Not every approach was wildly successful, but some were...

As a truly open data infrastructure, community issues such as disagreement, bias, human error, vandalism, etc. manifest themselves on Wikidata. From a curator's perspective, it can be challenging at times to filter through the different Wikidata views while maintaining one's own definitions and standards. Whether stemming from benign differences in opinions/views, or more malignant forms of vandal...

After successfully securing large data donations from TED, the BBC, the Royal Society of Chemistry, Quora, Songkick, universities and more, I'd like to share my experience and offer (and solicit) suggestions for improving our approaches to donors, and our workflow for accepting and processing data. How can we conduct sensitive negotiations, with public and commercial bodies, while maintaining the...

At the research department of KB we linked named entities in newspaper articles to Wikidata resource descriptions offering context information for those entities and enabling searching based on properties obtained from Wikidata. In fact we use Wikidata as a thesaurus for entities in newspaper articles. This functionality can easily be extended to the library catalogue. In bibliographic records, re...

Wikidata is turning 5 years old. A lot has happened since it started as an empty wiki with no items, properties and statements. We'll take a look at the current state of the project and see where the next years might take us. What data do we have? In what state is it? What does our community look like? Who is using our data to build amazing things? Where do we still have work to do? What are the b...
