Wikidata Working Hours Series[edit]
Summer/Fall 2023 Project[edit]
Starting in August and running through December, 2023, we will be assembling a data set of diverse LIS materials (articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it to Wikidata during a series of Wikidata Working Hours. Each event will provide an opportunity to try out different Wikidata-related skills and tools while working with a finite dataset. Topics covered in the Working Hours will include: assembling a bibliography, 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, using the Author Disambiguator tool, and analyzing and visualizing data with SPARQL and Scholia.
