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
In response to Wikimedia Movement’s 2030 strategic direction, the Research team 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 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.
