[Wikidata] Fwd: [IFLA-L] UN Library launches new linked data services platform: metadata.un.org
Interesting new update from the UN libraries. Might have a Wikidata component? Cheers, Alex -- Forwarded message - From: Ramona Kohrs Date: Tue, Jan 14, 2020 at 3:34 PM Subject: [IFLA-L] UN Library launches new linked data services platform: metadata.un.org To: ifl...@iflalists.org The Dag Hammarskjöld Library is pleased to announce the launch of their new linked data services platform: metadata.un.org. Linked data is structured data interlinked with other data, making it more discoverable and searchable through semantic queries. Metadata.un.org currently hosts the Library’s UNBIS Thesaurus <http://metadata.un.org/thesaurus/?lang=en> and the Department of Economic and Social Affairs’ taxonomy of Sustainable Development Goals <http://metadata.un.org/sdg/?lang=en> identifiers. More linked data services and taxonomies will be hosted on metadata.un.org as they become available. The UNBIS Thesaurus is a database of controlled vocabulary used by UN programmes, funds, and regional commissions to describe the UN’s published output (parliamentary documents, publications, reports, etc.). The new platform provides a revamped interface with increased functionality in the six official UN languages. Its controlled vocabulary makes subject searches possible by identifying materials on the same concept consistently, despite terminology changes over time. DESA’s SDG Taxonomy was produced in collaboration with groups from across the UN system. They developed a system of Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) for the SDGs, the related targets and indicators, related entities linking to UNBIS Thesaurus terms <http://metadata.un.org/sdg/1?lang=en>, as well as the SDG Interface Ontology, maintained by UN Environment. These common identifiers are deployed to provide a key element of infrastructure that will allow UN system organizations and relevant stakeholders to map their SDG resources to the growing pool of knowledge about the SDGs available on the semantic web. We welcome feedback <http://metadata.un.org/feedback?lang=en> on this new service.

Re: [Wikidata] [Wikimedia-l] Join the Months of African Cinema Global Edit-a-Thon
Hey Sam, Great timing on the questions about tools! I recently published a framework for organizing campaigns that describes the existing tools used for different stages in Campaigns: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns/Organizer_Framework . [1] If you or your volunteers helping with metrics want to talk through the various metrics options and what you would like to measure, I would be happy to workshop those ideas with you. We are still piloting the framework -- so testing those parts with you would be great -- I would love to learn where you have other questions.

[Wikidata] Help us improve a framework for supporting content campaigns!
Hello everyone, Apologies for cross-posting, and please forward to communities who you think will be interested. In light of the movement’s increased focus on diversity and becoming essential infrastructure for diverse human knowledge, the Community Programs team at the WMF has begun investigating the use of content campaigns in the movement. Campaigns are some of the most reliable ways to create new content and introduce new contributors to the movement, but we have a lot of questions like: What are the different steps that our community organizers have to go through in order to organize campaigns and contests such as Wiki Loves Monuments, Wikipedia Asian Month, #1lib1ref Wikidata Menu Challenge etc.? What are the tools that are being used in organizing these campaigns and contests such as PetScan, Listeria, CitationHunt, Fountain, wscontest tool, Outreach Dashboard etc.? During some initial research into the space, we have developed a draft Organizer Framework <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns/Organizer_Framework>[1] that highlights key stages in organizing any campaign/contest and the documentation that we could find supporting those stages. Now, we need your help us improve the framework so that we can help less experienced organizers understand how to better support content campaigns. Please join us in discussing the framework and provide feedback on the talk page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Campaigns/Organizer_Framework=edit=1>[2] or connect with us on the discuss forum.[3] If you want to reach out directly, feel free to email us at astin...@wikimedia.org or sg...@wikimedia.org.

Re: [Wikidata] Wikimedia Sverige receives $65k+ in funding for our Library Data project
This is really awesome! I met some of the team working on their LOD software at an event at Stanford in the spring -- they seem to be doing really amazing and savvy work to make their library data fully compliant -- excited to see Wikidata become a data hub for them (they weren't really sure if they were going to do that when I talked to them then).

[Wikidata] Followup from Zooniverse Conversation in June
Hey all, I wanted to followup from the Zooniverse comments/thread a couple months back, as part of Pharos's comments about crowd-sourcing depicts statements ( https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2017-June/010795.html). I met with Zooniverse staff during the week leading up to Wikimania, and was able to get a rough outline of how they might be connected with our ecosystem: - They have a project builder system, that allows anyone to create a project that uses their crowdsourcing structures, to do description and identification of components of media files. The documentation is at: https://www.zooniverse.org/lab - They have an undocumented method for drawing media from external repositories via a simple API -- so we could be calling on content generated from sets via Commons or Wikidata. - They would be interested in exploring if there is a good process for connecting Commons as a source for their project builder, and would be willing to provide some developer advisory support for either a volunteer or partner institution to develop an appropriate link between the two apis. I am talking with Pharos about potentially doing something with the Met set on Commons, but if you think you have a set of media files already on Commons that might be of interest to a citizen science-type crowdsourcing project - please let me know. (Tools developed by the Wikidata community might be more appropriate in the short term for the Met collection [1]) - Cool-less relevant note: Zooniverse is experimenting with using Machine learning models to both prompt citizen science actions, and to sort various sets of media in projects. I am interested in exploring this relationship, because as Structured Data on Commons gains the ability to store structured media file information in the next few years, we have an increased ability to absorb simple descriptive and other crowdsourcing on top of media files, and the Zooniverse community provides access to a very wide group of crowd-contribution interested communities. Moreover, if one of the value statements for uploading to Commons, was a simple access point to Zooniverse Crowdsourcing for either scientific purposes or enriching structured descriptive metadata, we might have a lot more contributions of both scientific and cultural heritage collections to Commons.[2] If you have a set of media on Commons that you might be interested in testing in the Zooniverse Project Builder, and have some developer capacity, please let me know offlist. We don't need to move quickly on the offer of consultation, but I would like to continue talking with Zooniverse about how to create a better relationship. Cheers, Alex -- Alex Stinson GLAM-Wiki Strategist Wikimedia Foundation Twitter:@glamwiki/@sadads [1] see the update from Gordibach: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:IdeaLab/Wikidata_Paintbrush [2] I am also keenly aware that any projects that pilot this kind of data enrichment, will require a fair amount of Commons and/or Wikidata community discussion about data quality, and its use.

[Wikidata] Welcome Amanda Bittaker as the Program Manager for Structured Commons
Hi Wikidata and Commons Communities, I’m excited to let you all know that Amanda Bittaker (cc'ed) has joined the Audiences (formerly Product) team at the Wikimedia Foundation as the Program Manager for the Structured Data on Commons program. She will be working closely with teams from the Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikidata team at Wikimedia Deutschland, and the communities to complete the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation grant [1], expanding the capabilities of Commons to make it easier for people and institutions to find, share, and reuse Commons content. Many people may have met Amanda already. She joined the Foundation in November 2014, working with the Learning & Evaluation team to help wiki program organizers’ design, manage, and evaluate their programs. During that time, she also partnered with engineers to build program tools such as the Program and Events Dashboard[2] and the Global Metrics Magic Button [3]. Before joining the Foundation, Amanda worked in the international development industry for five years, doing finance, program design, monitoring, and evaluation. She spent two years in South America. Once upon a time she also ran and oversaw programs at a nonprofit bicycle education space that operated entirely by general consensus, which taught her a lot about collaborative and transparent program management. She is eager to work on Structured Data on Commons, helping our communities make Commons as useful as possible, and helping to make transitions in processes and workflows as smooth as possible. Amanda is based in San Francisco in the US. You can find her on the wikis or at Wikimania or the Wikimania hackathon in Montreal. She can converse pretty well in English and Spanish, and would like to practice her French more, but it is still very basic.

[Wikidata] Fwd: [IFLA-L] Call for nominations for the IFLA namespaces/linked data committee
Hey all and apologies for the cross-posting. The amount of conversation within the last few months via Wikicite about FRBR, MARC and other bibliographic standards, I wanted to make sure folks were aware that they are examining them in some way. Cheers, Alex -- Forwarded message -- From: Joanne Yeomans <joanne.yeom...@ifla.org> Date: Fri, Jun 9, 2017 at 7:47 AM Subject: [IFLA-L] Call for nominations for the IFLA namespaces/linked data committee To: "ifl...@infoserv.inist.fr" <ifl...@infoserv.inist.fr> Dear all, Do you know something about namespaces? Or does someone in your organization have an interest or knowledge in this technical area? Would you like to help develop the namespaces for IFLA’s standards? IFLA publishes FRBR, ISBD and UNIMARC; if you believe in supporting these as free resources for the whole world to use, we need you, to help us to make and keep their namespaces available. The IFLA Committee on Standards is looking for enthusiastic people to work together to develop the provision of IFLA namespaces and their management. The Linked Data Technical Sub-Committee (LIDATEC) will be a group of up to 7 people working together – mainly online – to develop the procedures and support for maintaining IFLA’s namespaces. The Sub-Committee reports to the IFLA Committee on Standards. Applications to work on the Sub-Committee should be sent to electi...@ifla.org by 30 June 2017. The format of the application is brief – if you are interested in working with us on this topic, simply describe your own expertise and knowledge in a short paragraph. A selection will be made in July and we hope the selected participants will be able to meet with us in Poland in August. As IFLA is a not-for-profit organisation, funded by library membership, we unfortunately do not have funding to support individual participation. Please, however, consider contributing your (or your organization’s) time and financial support and unite with us to improve the library world for the benefit of all. Members of the committee try to meet once a year at the IFLA World Library and Information Congress; discounted registration is available for people selected for the LIDATEC committee.

Re: [Wikidata] Tools for artworks and Depicts property
Merilee: Great!
I will include Richard on that conversation, because I think having a
useful and tangible case study ("We have this Met collection, we want to
host it on Wikimedia Commons, and receive a feed of recommended data
changes to Commons/Wikidata via a Zooniverse project") that could be a good
way to demonstrate how this could be useful

Re: [Wikidata] Tools for artworks and Depicts property
Hi Richard,
This is a great idea, and is something I would like us to push towards in
Structured Commons: easy crowd-focused ways for us to refine understanding
of what is involved in a multimedia file. However, all of the precedents we
have use either machine prediction, or human curated prediction
(categories/infoboxes,etc) of whether or not the content is in there. Also,
the further we spread these games, the more we need to think about
confirmation of the "new" data that we are generating: for example, most of
the crowd-sourcing strategies on Zooniverse, require a certain number of
folks to affirm a decision, before they are added to a likely positive
queue (https://www.zooniverse.org/). We may want to start with items that
have "depicts" compatible categories on Commons that could be sorted into
more specific categories -- or where the institutional descriptions have
string matches.
As Magnus describes also: I don't think the structure or data model right
now is very crowd-sourcing friendly at the moment: asking folks to identify
what is "depicted" in an image, may solicit a lot of less than-accurate
descriptions (for example, if you aren't familiar with farm equipment in
19th century france, you are likely to not know what the right language is
for describing those pastoral settings, etc). The more we push this beyond
folks who are wiki-savvy, the more we loose the self-filtering of folks
interested in understanding our data and community model before
contributing (I am also not familiar with any documentation of
institution-friendly ways for monitoring batches of data that get worked on
by these institutions per #2 at
http://blog.hatnote.com/post/161358369742/wikicite-2017-and-the-7-features-wikidata-needs
).
Thats not to say we shouldn't work on this: I just think some on-wiki
consultation and design (per Magnus) would be rather important.We should
also take a look at the interface/strategy used by GeneWiki:
https://github.com/SuLab/genewiki . They have the best other-environment,
open ecosystem for contributing to a particular domain on Wikidata.
Cheers,
Alex

[Wikidata] Fwd: [Commons-l] Exciting update about development of structured data on Commons
Hi all, An announcement related to structured data in the broader Wikimedia Community. Cheers, Alex -- Forwarded message -- From: Wes Moran <wmo...@wikimedia.org> Date: Mon, Jan 9, 2017 at 2:51 PM Subject: [Commons-l] Exciting update about development of structured data on Commons To: common...@lists.wikimedia.org Hello Wikimedia community, It’s our delight to inform you that we received a US$3,015,000 grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_P._Sloan_Foundation> [1] to expedite development of structured data on Commons. The grant will be given over the course of three years, and will allow us to develop a team, in collaboration with the Wikidata team at Wikimedia Deutschland, that can focus on integrating the structured data features of Wikidata into describing the media files on Commons. This work will allow us to expedite features both on the Wikidata development roadmap, and in other products supported by the Wikimedia Foundation. The grant also provides funding to ensure that movement stakeholders, like Wiki Loves Monuments and GLAM-Wiki program leaders, and external partners who contribute heavily to Commons, such as GLAMs, can be involved in the development. We have drafted a high level overview of the grant and its scope, available on Commons <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/Sloan_Grant> [2]. A blog post about the grant is also available on the Wikimedia blog <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/01/09/sloan-foundation-structured-data> [3]. We are currently in the process of identifying the technical lead for the project. If you have questions, Alex Stinson, the Foundation’s GLAM-Wiki strategist, will be leading the community engagement and communications for the project until we hire a community liaison as part of the grant. Stay tuned for more details about the project in the coming months. We’re excited to be able to support this project, and look forward to your participation in its development.
