The Wikidata and Wikibase Library Community
Library institutions are increasingly indicating their interest in and commitment to Wikidata and Wikibase. In our MiniCon, we want to bring the existing community and curious newcomers together to discuss the future.
Wikidata is a large knowledge graph containing general purpose data about the world, collected and maintained by thousands of people. The software used to run Wikidata, called Wikibase, is free and open source. Increasingly, Wikibase is being used by institutions and projects to set up and maintain their own linked databases. An example of this is the GND meets Wikibase project run by the German National Library. Both Wikidata and Wikibase are software projects developed and maintained by Wikimedia Deutschland - the German chapter of the global Wikimedia movement that works to increase access to knowledge.
Interest in and commitment to the Wikibase and Wikidata projects within the library community continues to grow. One example of this is the WikiLibrary Manifesto. In our MiniCon, the team working on Wikidata and Wikibase aims to bring this growing community together. We welcome those already familiar with the Wikidata and Wikibase projects as well as newcomers to join us to discuss the future.
The session will be split into two sections:
Part one will be a set of presentations to introduce the relevant projects.
Part two will be an interactive workshop for participants to come together and discuss the future. We want to use this workshop as a forum to discuss, among other things, community needs, the role of Wikidata in the growing Wikibase ecosystem, and institutional requirements for the Wikibase software suite.
