Do you want to learn how to make use of Wikidata-powered infoboxed on your local language Wikipedia <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-databox-a-simple-wikida…>, or the variety of ways to retrieve and query data from Wikidata so you can reuse it in your own applications <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-how-to-retrieve-wikidat…>? Join us for a lot of exciting sessions together. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Léa Lacroix <lea.lacroix(a)wikimedia.de> Date: Thu, Mar 3, 2022 at 9:52 AM Subject: [Wikidata] Data Reuse Days: 35 sessions to discover how Wikidata's data is reused in cool projects To: <wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hello all, The *Data Reuse Days <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Data_Reuse_Days_2022>* is a series of online events that will focus on the use of Wikidata's data: during the different sessions taking place from March 14th to 24th, you will discover plenty of projects using Wikidata's data, how they gather, polish and display the data, what challenges they encounter on the way, and how they give back to the community. You can also attend presentations and workshops to learn how to create tools using Wikidata, how to use Wikidata on the other Wikimedia projects, and participate in various discussions with editors, data reusers and members of the Wikidata development team. You can *have a look at the schedule* on this page <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/wikidata-data-reuse-days-2022/> or on the calendar view <https://diff.wikimedia.org/calendar/month/2022-03/?tribe_tags%5B0%5D=13446>. Most sessions are taking place online on Jitsi, no registration or software needed. All events are free and open for everyone to join. The entire initiative, including the presentations and discussions on various channels, is covered by the Code of Conduct for technical spaces <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct>. Each session is independent, and while the schedule can look a bit intimidating, we encourage you to *look for the sessions that could be interesting for you*, pick a few of them, and join spontaneously if you have time. To help you navigate the schedule, here are a few suggestions on where to start: - Curious about *who is actually using Wikidata's data*, looking for inspiration? You can check the lightning talks <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-opening-session-lightni…>, and sessions about performing and visual arts <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-wikidata-for-performing…> , civic tech and politics <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-wikidata-for-civic-tech/> , travel apps <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-wikidata-use-in-kdes-tr…> , data journalism <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-wikidata-for-data-journ…> , Wixhibit <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-wikxhibit-simple-author…> and Histropedia <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-histropedia-triumphs-an…> - Interested to learn more on how to use *Wikidata on the Wikimedia projects*? We talk about Databox on Wikipedia <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-databox-a-simple-wikida…> and Commons infoboxes on files <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-commons-file-infoboxes-…> and categories <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-the-wikidata-infobox-on…> - You would like to *create your first Wikidata-powered tool* but wonder where to start? You can discover how to retrieve Wikidata's data <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-how-to-retrieve-wikidat…> and what are the best practices <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-best-practices-for-reus…>, watch the live-coding of a tool <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-building-a-simple-web-a…>, and join the data reuse clinic <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-data-reuse-clinic/> to ask for help if needed - You're particularly interested in *matching Wikidata with other databases*? Check out the Mismatch Finder demo <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-mismatch-finder-demo/> , introduction to OpenRefine <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-match-and-refine-data-w…> , entity alignment checking <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-entity-alignment-checki…> and Metaphacts <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-wikidata-apps-with-the-…> - You would like to chat with other data reusers and talk about your *issues and wishes*? You are welcome at the open hacking session <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-lightning-talks/>, the Bug Triage Hour <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-wikidata-bug-triage-hou…> and the Pink Pony Session <https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-pink-pony-session-closi…> ! Note about the calendar features: you can add a single session to your personal calendar, or even embed the full schedule. Please note that we're experimenting with using Diff's calendar feature, that is still in a test and improvements phase - some bugs may appear. If you notice anything strange, let me know so I can report them to the dedicated team at WMF. If you have any questions, or if you would like to propose a last-minute presentation (there is still space left in the lightning talks sessions, or for interactive sessions such as editathons), feel free to contact me. We are very excited to welcome you all in this new experiment of a remote Wikidata event, and to start plenty of interesting discussions between people editing, maintaining and using Wikidata's data!
