Greetings, everyone –
Over the summer and into the fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours 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 sixth Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover batch editing items using OpenRefine.
Date and time: Monday, October 23rd, 2023 at 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6:00pm WAT / 7:00pm CEST (Time zone converter)

Subsequent Working Hours will cover batch editing using the LINCS tool, using the Author Disambiguator tool, and analyzing and visualizing data with SPARQL and Scholia.
This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page.
