Hello everyone,

 

Our upcoming online event, the Data Reuse Days 2025, is coming soon, starting on February 18th!

The event will be focusing on how people and organizations use Wikidata's data to build interesting applications and tools. It aims to bring together data reusers and editors to learn from each other and discover cool Wikidata-powered applications. We will also cover technical aspects of Wikidata and share research and ideas for the future of reusing Wikidata’s data.

The event is taking place online, we will have sessions taking place during periods of 2 hours through 8 days, from February 18 to 27, 2025. You will be able to join sessions live, or to watch the replay later on. The sessions take place in English, and are open to everyone interested in the topic of data reuse.

You can now discover a first version of the program. We will feature among other things:

  • Introduction sessions for people who want to start retrieving and using Wikidata’s data;
  • Livecoding sessions to watch how others do it (Snowman, REST API);
  • Many presentations of applications using Wikidata in different fields (GLAM, civic tech, entertainment)
  • A track dedicated to AI and LLMs and how Wikidata can power such tools;
  • Updates about the Query Service and alternatives to use for your applications;
  • Social time and Wikidata-based games!

For the first time in our events series, we are using the CampaignEvents Extension that allows us to have a registration list onwiki. If you plan to attend, we strongly encourage you to register on the event page so you can receive updates about the event and access the Jitsi room link.

While waiting for the event to take place, you can also rewatch some sessions from our last edition in 2022.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write on the talk page or to reach out to me directly. We’re looking forward to holding this event with you! Best, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk) 08:35, 29 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
