Dear colleagues, Please join us for the next installment of the LD4 Wikibase Working Hour<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Aff… When: Mon. 13 February 2023, 1PM Eastern (time zone converter<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=2023…) Registration: Please follow this link to register: https://columbiauniversity.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYrdO-prTsvGtVEblXS0d_… The February Working Hour will feature a presentation by Steve Baskauf on using VanderBot with Wikibase: The Wikibase API provides a mechanism for programmatic control of uploads, and its behavior is consistent across instances (Wikidata, Structured Data in Commons, and those that are established privately). In this session, I will discuss basic interactions with the API and demonstrate using the VanderBot Python application to rapidly upload tabular data to a wikibase.cloud instance. After performing a mass deletion, I’ll conclude by describing how I’ve used the Wikibase API to facilitate addition of structured data to Commons. Steve Baskauf is a Data Science and Data Curation Specialist at the Vanderbilt University Heard Libraries. He has had a long-term interest in Linked Data and for the past several years has been experimenting with ways to streamline uploads to Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons. About the LD4 Wikibase Working Hour: The LD4 Wikibase Working Hour<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Aff… is part of the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Af… and seeks to create a space for GLAM professionals experimenting with Wikibase/WBStack implementation, the software that Wikidata is based on, to learn collaboratively and share tips, tools, and resources.
