Wikidata

User:Daniel Mietchen/Talks/Wikidata as a FAIR, open, collaborative and multilingual component of the research ecosystem

< User:Daniel Mietchen‎ | Talks
We will try to shed some light on what is inside Wikidata, and what Leibniz has to do with that.

About edit

This page assists the Leibniz Open Science workshop "Wikidata as a FAIR, open, collaborative and multilingual component of the research ecosystem" taking place online on September 19, 2023 (Q69306927)      .

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

Abstract edit

Wikidata is a free and open knowledge base that can be read and edited by both humans and machines.

The goal of this session is fourfold: (i) to provide participants with an overview of the coverage of scientific topics in the ecosystem around Wikipedia, with a focus on Wikidata, (ii) to outline the community processes behind the generation and curation of that content, (iii) to explore how Wikidata workflows interact with those of the researchers, particularly in Leibniz Institutes, (iv) and to highlight potential for further interactions

Examples will be drawn from various research fields, multiple institutions, and multiple languages. Diversity, equity and inclusion efforts of the Wikimedia community will be covered with an eye on similar efforts in Leibniz contexts.

Participants will be provided with possibilities to work in pairs or small groups while reviewing existing Wikidata content, making small contributions directly, reviewing examples of each other’s contributions, and laying the foundation for more comprehensive contributions that leverage the diverse expertise of attendees and their respective networks.
