Wikidata virtual workshop

<p>Since Wikidata&rsquo;s launch in 2012 as an open, collaboratively edited knowledge base, it&rsquo;s held great promise for the library and scholarly communications community more broadly. Institutions and individual information professionals turned Wikidatans are using Wikidata to build a community-owned infrastructure for the bibliographic ecosystem, including open source tools that generate profiles of scholars, organizations, and publications. This recorded workshop introduces participants to Wikidata and its linked data infrastructure, including an overview of tools that facilitate data contribution and use. Participants leave prepared to connect with existing Wikidata initiatives, and with entry points to launch their own.</p>
