Greetings everyone,
Over the summer and into the fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group> will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group/Wikidata_Working_Hours#Summer/Fall_2023_Project> to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by assembling a data set of diverse library and information science (LIS) materials (articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it to Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The first Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover creating a bibliography of diverse LIS articles and books. We will generate a spreadsheet of sources ready for use during subsequent Working Hours. Date and time: Friday, August 18, 2023 at 9:00am PT / 12:00pm ET / 16:00 UTC / 6:00pm CEST / 9:30pm IST (Time zone converter<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1692374446>) Zoom link to join: https://stanford.zoom.us/j/94869763222?pwd=LzgrREhKOHJkZGU0bFNpRW1HS210dz09 <https://stanford.zoom.us/j/98787352730?pwd=aGtLaFBTQ0NCK2w1UGNqSW83MUpBdz09>Password: 498200 Event page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group/Wikidata_Working_Hours/2023-August-18_Wikidata_Working_Hour Subsequent Working Hours will cover exporting articles and books from Zotero into QuickStatements, webscraping for data in the PAWS environment, adding authors and publishers manually into Wikidata, batch editing using OpenRefine, batch editing using the LINCS tool, using the Author Disambiguator tool, and analyzing and visualizing data with SPARQL and Scholia.
