WikiLoop/Coalition

A network of users of public data + open knowledge, working together to give back to Wikidata.

A group (think archiveteam) of people processing open knowledge from WP and WD, and learning how to contribute updates or revisions back at scale.

Examples include: academic research groups analyzing open knowledge, who want their revised authority files to improve their sources;

major knowledge graphs that clean up, disambiguate, deconflict, and recontextualize knowledge from many sources, and want to share their patches in a way that is usable on the wikis.

Goal[edit]

Exploring ways to close loops of reuse in the world of open knowledge.

Learning from and expanding successful examples of bulk imports, corrections, and tagging/classifying/annotating existing entities and articles.

Conference call[edit]

We have a call every other Wednesday, currently at 1:30pm (US)Pacific Time / 4:30 (US)Eastern Time, to discuss current projects and challenges to update Wikidata at scale.

Open to all, public notes, sometimes invited guests talking about their work.
