Greetings, everyone – Over the summer and into the fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Gr…> will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Gr…> to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by assembling a data set of diverse library and information science (LIS) materials (articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it to Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The second Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover adding the articles from our bibliography of diverse LIS resources <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YZjaD5l9hZPLiGRx6oqS7-dwy_d3M3-FDtJ…> that we created in our 1st session to Wikidata! We will learn how to use Zotero, the reference management software, and its browser plugin<https://www.zotero.org/download/connectors> to automatically extract metadata for articles and convert them to a Wikidata format that can be batch uploaded using QuickStatements. To get a sneak preview of what we will be doing, you can learn more about the Wikidata & Zotero link here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Zotero. Date and time: Monday, August 28, 2023 at 9:00am PT / 12:00pm ET / 16:00 UTC / 6:00pm CEST / 5:00pm WAT (Time zone converter<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1693238441>) Zoom link to join: https://stanford.zoom.us/j/91640265187?pwd=NFhTVlorWkJmU05qMW92VUp0ZUpIZz09 Password: 684567 Event page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Gr… Subsequent Working Hours will cover exporting books from Zotero into QuickStatements, webscraping for data in the PAWS environment, adding authors and publishers manually into Wikidata, batch editing using OpenRefine, batch editing using the LINCS tool, using the Author Disambiguator tool, and analyzing and visualizing data with SPARQL and Scholia.
