Note: I'm intensively studying Chinese, so I'm not spending as much time as I used to do in Wikidata. However, this doesn't mean that I've lost interest on contributing to this project.
Why I contribute to Wikidata?
editI love answering granular questions to find unknown facts on different domains of knowledge. SPARQL and all the knowledge bases on the public domain are useful tools in that purpose.
I also contribute to Wikidata because
- It is a community driven project
- It can enhance education on developing countries
- In the future, I hope, Wikidata can be used to improve the education in Peru, the country I was born.
- Minority groups are not (seem to be) left behind
My interests
editI'm interested in computer science, knowledge graphs, semantic data, structured data and data science.
I was introduced to linked data through Wikidata in one of my database courses. What caught my attention about Wikidata was how my teacher was able to show universities in a map of any country just by changing the name of a variable in a SPARQL query which initially showed museums around the world.
Wikimedia project's personal wishlist
editSome projects related Wikimedia projects I'm looking forward to contribute
- Structured data on subtitles of videos at Commons
- Structured data on SPARQL examples
- Structured data on Wikiquote
I've shared some ideas, experiments, thoughts and code snippets here.
