Wikidatas åttonde födelsedag
Wikidata went live on 29 October 2012. In late-October and early-November 2020, we organize a giant Wikidata birthday all around the world. All local communities are encouraged to organize their own online events: meetups, workshops, trainings for newcomers, hackathons, live-editing... By the end of October 2020, bring your local community, engage newcomers and celebrate the eighth birthday! Pictures, presents and information will be shared on social media with the hashtag #WikidataBirthday.
Below, you will find the calendar of all events taking place online and offline for the Wikidata distributed birthday.

| Saturday, October 24 2020, 13:00 - 18:30 UTC+8 | 維基數據跨領域論壇 Wikidata Cross-Domain Forum | Wikidata Taiwan (Q65555605) | Wikidata is officially 8-years-old now! Since Wikidata Taiwan was founded in 2019, the promotion of Wikidata in Taiwan has been closely related to cross-domain cooperation. From the initial use for recording metadata, to the cooperation with OSM, and the collecting structured data of rivers and natural features; Wikidata brings people from varied disciplines together and grows prosperously here in Taiwan. Wikidata Cross-Domain Forum serves as a communication platform to connect peoples of different professions. By sharing viewpoints from all walks of life, contemplating the multi-faceted nature of “linked data” and “structured data”, we hope to create more interdisciplinary conversations and inspire more imagination in the use of data. We welcome not only Wikimedians but anyone who wishes to join us. We hope that people from different disciplines can come, bringing their own knowledge and ideas, and sharing your point of view with us. Discuss with us, clashing your idea with many more, and maybe, a brand-new possibility will be created thanks to you. |
