Brief intro to wikidata and the wikiverse

  • Wikipedia - editable encyclopedia
  • Wikidata - editable database
  • Vision: “Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.” ( in their native language )
    • Mike - in wikis in other languages - are there issues with governments wanting to write a history?
      • Daniel - yes, eg wars, battles all have different perspectives. So this also includes individual bias’ from the local authors, editors
  • If you setup your own mediawiki page you can add with one line artifacts from wikimedia commons
    • media files from Wikimedia Commons can be transcluded into other MediaWiki instances
  • Components of architecture: http://wikiba.se/
  • What ontologies are used in the wikibase?
    • Shared data model
    • Ontologies are open
  • WikiCite
  • Scholia
    • Overlapping project with VIVO: Scholia
    • Presentation layer for wikidata information for bibliographic data

Overview of semantic capabilities for these tools

Daniel's interest in VIVO

  • Open workflows around collaborative curation
  • JROST: Interest in sharing roadmaps for open science tooling
    • Open scholarly profiles

Next Steps

  • Leverage wikidata related to publications
  • Use institutional vivos to record position information on wikidata - eg person x was employed at institution from start date to end date
  • Use wikidata to help co-author networks - because an institution curates it’s own authors but not authors at other orgs - wikidata can be used for this
  • Vivo’s have current employees typically - wikidata can reference scholarly records for people that are no longer employed or deceased.

Identify test cases:

  • Content in VIVO vis-a-vis Wikidata
    • What workflows could be used to sync between the two?
  • Signed statements
    • Wikidata statements can be signed as coming from a VIVO authority
  • Scholia
