About edit
This page assists a demo at the workshop "Semantic publishing: biodiversity data liberation, linking and FAIRness Workshop with Publishers" on 15 September 2023 at Haute école de gestion de Genève (Q1391281) in Geneva (Q71) .
Wikimedia projects edit
Wikipedia edit
Wikipedia is available in over 300 languages, together getting multiple billions of monthly page views.
Wikimedia Commons edit
Wikidata edit
Structured data about more than 100 million entities.
Other Wikimedia projects edit
An example of how each of these projects has its own ways of sharing knowledge around a topic
The landscape around Wikimedia edit
"By 2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge, and anyone who shares our vision will be able to join us."
Wikimedia for research edit
Wikimedia about research edit
Wikimedia resources relevant for research edit
Scholia provides about 30 types of scholarly profiles, all based on Wikidata (e.g. a person or institution)
Wikimedia for Ecology edit
Categories, infoboxes, identifiers, links
Media files edit
A carbon cycle diagram available in 18 languages
Articles edit
Tools like Citation Hunt assist in improving verifiability.
Structured data edit
Structured data from different domains can be queried.
Statistics edit
Pageviews for the article Moor on the German Wikipedia from 2015-2023. See also cross-language stats.
Opportunities for further interactions edit
Motivation edit
- Wikimedia projects are already widely used in research and many other contexts
- Reuse on Wikimedia projects is a great way to demonstrate Reusability of research in the FAIR sense
- Wikimedia contributions can be integrated with educational activities
- Five ways academics can contribute to Wikipedia

Contributing to Wikipedia edit
There is always room for improvement, and there are initiatives like WikiProject Climate Change or #365climateedits to address that.
Wikifying biodiversity sciences edit
Initiatives like WikiProject Invasion biology collaborate within a certain scope, curating entities, data models, queries and associated documentation. Sample query: Fish species by popularity in the invasion biology literature
Contextualizing invasion biology edit
A Wikidata query for topics related to invasion biology
Opening up IPCC/ IPBES reports edit
Unpacking IPCC and IPBES Reports (2022) — non-open licensing and encapsulation in PDFs are an obstacle to reuse of images or citation information
Assessment on Peatlands, Biodiversity, and Climate Change
Wiki99 edit
Wiki99 for chemistry. What about doing one for ecology?
Linking arts and sciences edit
Hands-on edit
- express some curation events as nanopublication
- Draft:Peatland restoration
- WikiProjects
- Upload an image from an open-access ecology paper?
Thanks edit
