Hi everyone,
Over the summer and into the early fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity
Group<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Af…
will be offering a series of Wikidata Working
Hours<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Af…
to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by
adding data about diverse children’s
books<https://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/literature-resources/ccbc-diversit…
from the Cooperative Children’s Book Center at the University of Wisconsin, Madison 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,
love children’s books, or have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to.
The sixth Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover creating items for books (works
and editions) in Wikidata.
You do not need to have attended the previous Wikidata Working Hours in the series to
attend this one.
Date and time: Monday, September 12, 2022 at 11:00am PT / 2:00pm ET / 18:00 UTC / 8:00pm
CEST (Time zone

Subsequent Working Hours will cover an open editing review session for contributors and
publishers, uploading batch metadata to Wikidata using OpenRefine and Quickstatments, and
using SPARQL to query and visualize the data we’ve added to Wikidata. You don’t have to
attend every session to benefit from the series, but attending whenever possible will
offer the best experience in terms of applying skills and tools to a single data set.
We’ll also record the demo portions of each Working Hour, so you can always catch up on
anything you miss.
