Hi all,
Just a reminder that the next Research Showcase will be live-streamed on
Wednesday, September 23, at 9:30 AM PDT/16:30 UTC, and will be on the theme
of knowledge gaps. The Research Team will give an overview on the first
draft of the taxonomy of knowledge gaps in Wikimedia projects. The taxonomy
is a first milestone towards developing a framework to understand and
measure knowledge gaps with the goal of capturing the multi-dimensional
aspect of knowledge gaps and inform long-term decision making. The first
draft of the taxonomy is now published and we seek your feedback to improve
it.

This month's presentation:
A first draft of the knowledge gaps taxonomy for Wikimedia projects
By the Wikimedia Foundation Research Team <https://research.wikimedia.org/>
In response to Wikimedia Movement’s 2030 strategic direction
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20>,
the Research
team <https://research.wikimedia.org/team.html> at the Wikimedia Foundation
is developing a framework to understand and measure knowledge gaps. The
goal is to capture the multi-dimensional aspect of knowledge gaps and
inform long-term decision making. The first milestone was to develop a
taxonomy of knowledge gaps which offers a grouping and descriptions of the
different Wikimedia knowledge gaps. The first draft of the taxonomy is now
published <https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.12314> and we seek your feedback to
improve it. In this talk, we will give an overview over the first draft of
the taxonomy of knowledge gaps in Wikimedia projects. Following that, we
will host an extended Q&A in which we would like to get your feedback and
discuss with you the taxonomy and knowledge gaps more generally.
