Logo GLAM Wiki Conference 2023 ID: 2116 Wikisource and Wikidata: when two cool kids play together!
Facilitators/Speakers: Bodhisattwa, West Bengal Wikimedians User Group Time block: Morning Beginning: 9:30
Location: 411 Duration: 30 min
Description:

Wikisource and Wikidata co-exist for more than a decade together. In spite of that, there has not been much engagement between the two projects. While the Wikidata community has clearly defined data modelling of books based on FRBR model in its early days and gave ample space for Wikisource to curate their book metadata in this model, Wikisource communities from different languages were slow to catch the train. In this presentation, we will explore such data gaps between the two projects. We will also look out for the best practices some of the Wikisource language communities have adopted to integrate Wikidata into their metadata curation system to display their library contents and what that integration meant to them in their every-day edits. There can be an interactive discussion with the audience to look for suggestions and plans about ways to integrate the two projects more closely in near future.

Participants will learn about the data gaps between Wikidata and Wikisource, the ways to fill them up and results of such integration.

Location: Auditorium Duration: 60 min
Description:

In this session, you will learn about:

1. How Query Wikidata helped us to understand better our archive of over 18.000 life stories

Founded in 1991, Museu of the Person is a virtual and collaborative museum of life stories. The museum has one of the largest collections on the history of private life in Brazil and is open to anyone who wants to register and share their life story. The museum believes that valuing the cultural diversity and the story of each person as a patrimony of humanity contributes to the construction of a culture of peace. For 30 years, we have received life stories in different media formats. Even in the 1990s, we published stories received via email from collaborators. Today, our website offers a platform that allows the submission of text and multimedia narratives. We have also carried out over 300 oral memory collection projects, in connection with local communities. In total we have interviewed over 18.000 people from all over the country. However, our current platform only provided us with limited intel about our own archive, due development limitations. This has significantly improved once we started using the Query Wikidata, which allows us to have a deeper understanding of our archive, as well being able to create graphs with this information, as int can be seen in this article: https://medium.com/creative-commons-we-like-to-share/commons-voices-contributing-life-histories-to-the-open-knowledge-ecosystem-in-brazil-66ca1fca79fd We would like to share with the public the benefits from using the Query Wikidata tool.

2. Paulina: Data Tools for the Public Domain

The session presents Paulina project, an initiative to create a global and multilingual search engine for works and authors in the public domain using Wikidata and Python. The main goals of the project are to create a friendly interface to discover authors, identify the copyright status of a work in different jurisdictions, access public domain works from Wikisource and/or other sites, and invite users to improve information about the public domain on Wikidata.

An alpha version of the tool is available at: https://paulina.toolforge.org/ At this moment, the tool already allows to search authors, look for their works, identify the copyright status and access the work if available.

Recognizing that there are already other tools based on Wikidata that facilitate knowledge and access to cultural works, such as Crotos, OpenArtBrowser or Inventaire, among others, this project focuses on: - identifying the copyright/public domain status of works of any kind, - encouraging editors and institutions to improve the information about the public domain on Wikidata, - helping to shape best practices for modeling data related to the public domain in Wikidata.

Beyond the launch of this tool, the project aims to facilitate the creation of national, regional or thematic implementations, according to the needs of each community. The code repository is available with a FLOSS license at: https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/toolforge-repos/paulina

The objective of the session is to show the preliminary version of the tool and seek collaborations with people and institutions.

3. Teaching a Wikidata Project Curriculum

The path from a dataset to a successful Wikidata project is not always clear. Over the past two years Will Kent from Wiki Education has been developing a curriculum that is based on Wikidata project work. Geared toward individuals who have a dataset in mind, this curriculum connects participants to tools, resources, and workflows that demystify project implementation. It is our hope that attendees will leave this situation with a better grasp on project workflows, relevant community practices, and the various resources that exist to support Wikidata projects.
