Greetings, everyone –
Over the summer and into the fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.wikidata.org_wiki_Wikidata-3AWikiProject-5FLD4-5FWikidata-5FAffinity-5FGroup&d=DwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=ZKZdijZcvSwDlmLpUMf9GVdOigjGjnqPOHQla31EGfM&m=fI1-hpfdDdTNXcVlow8r1zteE2hV752_Bm5uCHZoa925IlVFadd-KhSuQ81ptt4o&s=AKwcn-mzEtEwPA7Yy4nyeXWyQ7j7XAaMsw7TROVwM9A&e=> will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.wikidata.org_wiki_Wikidata-3AWikiProject-5FLD4-5FWikidata-5FAffinity-5FGroup_Wikidata-5FWorking-5FHours_Wikidata-5FWorking-5FHour-5FSummer-2DFall-5FProject-5F2023&d=DwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=ZKZdijZcvSwDlmLpUMf9GVdOigjGjnqPOHQla31EGfM&m=fI1-hpfdDdTNXcVlow8r1zteE2hV752_Bm5uCHZoa925IlVFadd-KhSuQ81ptt4o&s=bY6Rdhw6N_K32Psia2LegiU8IJdApNTR00LWycTJTww&e=> to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by assembling a data set of diverse library and information science (LIS) materials (articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it to Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The fourth Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover the introduction of the Wikimedia PAWS environment as an option for data gathering and processing for your Wikidata project needs. We will spend the majority of the time looking at web scraping for article data using Python and the Beautiful Soup package for parsing. This includes looking at the scraping results of some pages and discussing what makes a page a good candidate for web scraping. We will also use this as an opportunity to think about data models and how to make your data approachable for both machines and humans. Lastly, we will fill out the skeleton of a web scraper with the appropriate information to scrape a page ourselves and then appreciate how this process can be scaled to scrape multiple pages while running a single script.
