>From a note from Subodh Kulkarni: "As you know, Goa University is working on Wikimedia projects. Now, they have started digitisation, re-licensing and Wikidata. They have also started working on multilingual Wikisource. A workshop has been planned on the occasion of *Konkani Manyata Diwas*, 20-21st August (2026)." Subodh can be contacted at +91 94229 07330
>From a *Wikipedia perspective*, *digitisation* means converting books, photographs, newspapers, manuscripts or other physical/analogue materials into digital files that can be preserved, searched and potentially uploaded or linked through Wikimedia projects; *re-licensing* means obtaining permission from the copyright holder, or otherwise establishing a suitable free licence such as *CC BY-SA*, so that copyrighted material can legally be reused, edited and redistributed on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons—simply digitising something does *not* make it freely usable; and *Wikidata* is Wikimedia’s structured-data repository: instead of merely having information buried in a Wikipedia article, facts about a person, book, place, organisation, etc. are stored as machine-readable *items and properties* (for example, author, date of birth, publication date, language), allowing information to be shared and queried across different-language Wikipedias and other applications. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ Frederick Noronha फ्रेडरिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا _/ AUDIO https://archive.org/details/@fredericknoronha _/ http://goa1556.in +91-9822122436 784 Saligao Goa _/ Goanet :: 30 years of discussions.
