Abstract

[edit]

Option A

This tutorial will provide an introduction to Wikidata and the creation and curation of structured data about scholarly works and authors. Attendees will get to know the Wikidata data model and make their first edits. They will learn how to add a scholarly article to Wikidata, how to add/edit authors and how to visualize bibliographic data using Scholia. No prior knowledge of Wikidata is required.

Option B

If the attendees are more interested in batch additions to Wikidata I could alternatively provide a tutorial on the ingestion of bibliographic data into Wikidata using (open source) tools: Zotero, OpenRefine, MarcEdit and Wikidata Quick Statements. This tutorial requires some basic knowledge of Wikidata. Attendees should have already made manual edits to Wikidata.

Please indicate your preference below, thank you for your feedback :-)
