Dear all,
I am happy to announce that applications to attend WikiCite ‘17
officially open
today .
About the event
WikiCite 2017 is a 3-day
conference, summit and hack day to be hosted in Vienna, Austria, on
May
23-25, 2017. It expands on efforts started last year at WikiCite 2016
to design a central
bibliographic repository, as well as tools and strategies to improve
information quality and verifiability in Wikimedia projects.
Our goal is to bring together Wikimedia contributors, data modelers,
information and library science experts, software engineers,
designers and
academic researchers who have experience working with Wikipedia's
citations
and bibliographic data.
WikiCite 2017 will be a venue to:
-
Day 1. (Conference) – present progress on existing work and
initiatives
for citations and bibliographic data across Wikimedia projects
-
Day 2. (Summit) – discuss technical, social, outreach and policy
directions
-
Day 3. (Hack) – get together to build, based on new ideas and
applications
More information on the event can be found here
