Hi, everyone,
Mark your calendars for our upcoming event series on the Wikidata graph split project and SPARQL skills!
We will be kicking off our next Wikidata Affinity Group Series on June 3rd, where we will begin learning about the recent scholarly article graph split project from members of the Wikidata Search Team, Lydia Pintscher and Guillaume Lederrey. Bonus fun: the LD4 Discovery Affinity Group will be joining the call!
On June 10th, guest speakers Daniel Mietchen and Lane Rasberry will provide an update about Scholia and their ongoing work to navigate the changes with the Query Service.
Next, Mary Aycock and Sarah Kasten will lead two sessions on developing SPARQL skills and using federated queries, which will be a mix of discussion and hands-on work, on June 24th and July 8th.
All events will take place at 9am PT/ 12pm ET/ 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST (Time zone converter<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1748966400>).

The LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group is associated with the LD4 Community and investigates how libraries can contribute to and better integrate library metadata with Wikidata to improve access to library resources on the web. The Affinity Group calls provide an informal space to share information and learn more about Wikidata.

Hello ������
(Sorry for cross-posting!)
We’re thrilled to announce that submissions are now open for both the GLAM
Wiki Conference 2025 Scholarship Applications and the Call for Program
Proposals!
This milestone is the result of dedicated work by both the Scholarship and
Program Committees, as well as the Core Organizing Team — and we couldn’t
be happier to share this news with you today, on International Museums Day
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Museum_Day>.
This year’s conference theme is:
Resilience: Shaping the Future Through Community and Openness
This theme is grounded in three key aims: 1) Building the Future, 2)
Community Resilience, and 3) Digital Resilience.
We believe this is a timely and meaningful theme — one that resonates
deeply across the global open movement and within every part of the
Wikimedia community.
You can find full details, including scholarship criteria and program
tracks, on the Meta-Wiki event page.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM_Wiki_2025
Deadlines:
- Scholarship Application: *7 June*
- Program Call-for-Proposals: *15 June*
Save the date!
The conference will take place 30 October – 1 November 2025, in Lisbon,
Portugal. Stay tuned for updates on registration, opening later in June
2025.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Lisbon — and we look forward to your ideas,
energy, and participation in shaping a resilient future together.
Kind regards,
The GLAM Wiki 2025 Organizing Team
