Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons
- Abstract ملخص
In 2017-19, the most radical change on Wikimedia Commons has place since its inception: files on Commons can now be described with structured, machine-readable data (powered by Wikidata and by its software, Wikibase). This makes it much easier to view, search, edit, organize and re-use Commons files, and also makes Wikimedia Commons truly multilingual.
Files on Wikimedia Commons can now be described with the multilingual properties and items from Wikidata.
In this workshop, we look at the new features that are now present on Wikimedia Commons, and participants learn to edit these:
- Multilingual captions for files
- Depicts statements to indicate what is shown in a file
- And other structured metadata statements, for instance to add information like creator, license, and quality assessments of files on Commons.
We also look at some very new tools to make editing structured data on Wikimedia Commons easier:
- The ISA tool that make structured data 'tagging' very easy, and makes it possible to arrange small competitions around this,
- The AC/DC gadget and the SDC tool that allow to add structured data statements to several files at once.
We will work with concrete examples of files from the Arabic world, preferably photos that participants have taken themselves and/or files that have been contributed in GLAM-Wiki projects. There will also be tips how Wikimedians who speak other languages than English can help making Wikimedia Commons more multilingual.
