[Wikidata-l] Coding da Vinci
Hey folks :) There is a cool hackathon around open data and culture coming up. I'm sure there are a few possible awesome Wikidata-related projects some of you could take on. Details (unfortunately only in German) are here: http://daten.berlin.de/interaktion/artikel/coding-da-vinci-der-kultur-hackathon Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

[Wikidata-l] Wikidata and GLAM
Hoi, Next month I will be presenting a half a day meeting in the Netherlands for a big GLAM partner. This presentation will likely be repeated for other GLAMs in the Netherlands at a later date. I have a tentative program for half a day. I will present about Wikidata, I will show information that already exists for both artists, works of art and institutions. I will demonstrate Wikidata, Reasonator, WDQ. One of the things that we will cover is how to add information from their databases to Wikidata. They are very much into movies, actors, television etc. My question to you. What would you like to see covered in such a workshop / presentation. What emphasis would work for you best. Thanks, GerardM ___ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l

What would you like to see covered in such a workshop / presentation. What emphasis would work for you best. Authority control [*]. Geo-tagging/ coordinates. Adding tags to objects in OpenStreetMap, linking back to Wikidata. The usefulness of Wikipedians-in-Residence (in the wider sense, Wikipedian simply being a more easily understood label for a role covering sister projects, including Wikidata, and the wider open- movement). We need GLAMs to make suggestions for features/ properties they'd find useful in Wikidata. Good luck with the presentation; or, rather, break a leg!

I'd like to get a simple (cough dummies guide) on how to use Wikidata in general (it's went through epic changes since I first fiddled with upon launch), and perahps a workshop on how we can use this for GLAM professionals - meaning I'd like to see a chance for us to be presenting at conferences on how to use this tool. Thanks Gerard for taking up this much needed task! Sarah and already covered my ideas. I would only add, would it be possible to have a video recording of your presentation so that we can share it with interested people and GLAMs? Thank you.

[Wikidata-l] Wikidata for organizing 1000s of extensions in mediawiki.org?
Organize MediaWiki's catalog of 1000s of extensions using Wikidata. Is this a sensible idea? Reality checks and other opinions are welcome here or at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46704#c33 Pasting the relevant part for convenience: Has anybody discussed the possibility of creating Wikidata items for extensions, after defining a set of properties to describe them? Linking those Wikidata items to mediawiki.org extension pages, and then playing with templates and what not to keep the semantic data up to date (version number, last release, dependencies, compatible with MediaWiki releases...)? Then play with templates, queries and visualizations to create all kinds of useful output, from structured extension pages to a proper and robust map of extensions. -- Quim Gil Engineering Community Manager @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil ___ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l
Re: [Wikidata-l] Wikidata for organizing 1000s of extensions in mediawiki.org?
Hoi, I would seriously consider this for two reasons. Yes, we can include this kind of information, obviously. It is worthwhile information so that is one. The most important reason why I want to seriously have this information is because the audience we gain. It is the developers of MediaWiki. They gain first hand experience and consequently they will start first to gain experience and use it and second start to consider it for what else Wikidata can do for them. My blogpost about Commons and Wikidata was written exactly because Wikidata is not understood and considered by this most vital group for the further development of Wikidata and MediaWiki.
