Good Afternoon BHL Colleagues, Wikimedia Enthusiasts, and Biodiversity Image Lovers,
I hope this message finds everyone well. I am excited to extend an invitation to you for an upcoming workshop entitled Part II: Transforming Biodiversity Heritage Library Images with Structured Data on Commons.
Workshop Details:
* Title: Part II: Transforming Biodiversity Heritage Library Images with Structured Data on Commons * Date/Time: Wednesday, April 10th, @ 2:00 PM EST | Find your timehttps://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20240410T180000&p1=137&p2=64&p3=263&p4=90&p5=16&p6=56&p7=236&p8=22 * Event Page: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1coxEzJ3XZDxoD47AuW6T_HgRxLKIvCC-usu2VpPL...https://docs.google.com/document/d/1coxEzJ3XZDxoD47AuW6T_HgRxLKIvCC-usu2VpPLmWU/edit * Zoom Meeting Link: https://smithsonian.zoom.us/j/86563563251?pwd=NEU3MWovMkRaQW5hV09BdTlRZ1ZVdz...
In the first workshop, we began our data modelling efforts by mapping and prepping BHL Flickr image data for Structured Data on Commons (SDC)https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data#:~:text=Structured%20data%20on%20Commons%20is,be%20uniformly%20processed%20by%20machines.. SDC is a groundbreaking initiative funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation that will allow media to be described using machine-readable, structured data making it easier to view, translate, search, edit, and curate visual content across all Wikimedia projects.
Converting BHL Image data in SDC was the second most voted use case from the BHL Wikimedia White paper entitled Unifying Biodiversity Knowledge to Support Life on a Sustainable Planethttps://bhl.pubpub.org/. For this reason, we are thrilled to keep the momentum going to complete the mapping work we started and continuing to uncover exciting possibilities with new tools built to help GLAMS do this work. Join us as explore these tools together:
Tools and bots to explore! 🤖
* Wiki Commons extension for OpenRefinehttps://github.com/OpenRefine/CommonsExtension * Flickypediahttps://www.flickr.org/tools/flickypedia/ * FlickypediaBackfillrbothttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:FlickypediaBackfillrBot
By completing our mapping work as a community and converting wiki text to structured data, we will unlock the potential to describe BHL images more robustly while building a viable SPARQL endpoint for BHL's Image Collection. This work will improve the data ecosystems for Wikimedia Commons, Flickr, and BHL alike and most importantly serve our global user bases through enhanced search precision and retrieval.
Hope to see you there! JJ
