Please see the full Call for Proposals<https://sites.google.com/stanford.edu/ld42020/call-for-proposals> for additional details.

Hi everyone,
Most of you may have already heard about it, Paris
Musées, which regroups 14 heritage sites, has just officially announced
this month the opening of more than 100,000 digitized works on its
collections platform [1], under CC-0 licence.
This is indeed a
significant event for french cultural institutions and open glam because
it is the first Parisian institution, which moreover hosts many
masterpieces, to act such a policy of opening and dissemination of
heritage. The images are offered in High Definition with access via a
dedicated API. This is a real long-term approach, matured over the last
3 years (obviously inspired by international examples including Met art
and Rijksmuseum), because 100,000... Is only a beginning.
In this
project, Wikimedia France has worked and met Paris Musées project
managers during its Glam national meeting [2] in may 2019. We are now
supporting Paris musées, within the framework of a formal partnership,
in the import of images and data to Wikimedia commons and Wikidata and
in training courses on those Wikimedia projects for some of their
cultural agents.
Many of these images and masterpieces, as La Tourgue
in 1835 [3] or Woman with blue eyes, [4] will be obviously used to
illustrate Wikipedia articles. One or more edit-a-thons could be
organised this year. But meanwhile, the first steps are planned for the
first quarter of 2020.
You will find more information, in french for
the moment and i would need some translation help, on the dedicated
article available here:
https://www.wikimedia.fr/2020/01/16/paris-musees-le-choix-determinant-de-lo….
We obviously hope that this case will help disseminate open content
in cultural environments as Musée St Raymond of Toulouse or Archives
nationales de France have used to do for several years.
Available for
more informations and happy to share that great news with you,
Best,
Xavier

Subject: [Analytics] Introducing statistics for media files
To: A mailing list for the Analytics Team at WMF and everybody who has an
interest in Wikipedia and analytics. <analytics(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi everybody,
Just in time for the holidays, we're announcing the addition of Media
Requests to our metrics catalog. Over the last few months we've been
working on a dataset offering request numbers for every single image,
audio, video and document in the Wiki universe, since 2015.
This means we have 3 new metrics available in the Analytics Query Service:
- Media requests per referrer: e.g. how many images, audio, videos...
have been accessed from English Wikipedia in the last month? *73 billion
for November
<http://stats.wikimedia.org/v2/#/en.wikipedia.org/content/total-mediarequest…>.*
- Media requests per file: e.g. how many hits did this cool painting
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_tree#/media/File:Yggdrasil.jpg>
get in November? The answer is 483,791 hits
<https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/mediarequests/per-file/all-refere…>
.
- Top files by media requests: e.g. what was the most popular video
yesterday, December 22nd? Fred Rogers testifying before the Senate
Subcommittee on Communications
<http://stats.wikimedia.org/v2/#/en.wikipedia.org/content/top-mediarequests/…>.
Fun! You can check out the top 1000 media files for any month or day, for
any media type.
Media requests is, in terms of absolute numbers, a huge dataset, so the per
file and top metrics are still being loaded with data all the way to 2015.
We expect this loading to finish in mid January.
You can read more about this in Wikitech
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/AQS/Mediarequests>. As usual
if you have any questions about the dataset or the new metrics please send
them our way here on the list or via Phabricator.
Happy holidays!
Francisco + the A team

Colleagues,
On behalf of the LD4 Conference Program Committee, I am pleased to post the official call for presentations for the 2020 LD4 Conference on Linked Data in Libraries. This work is closely linked to Wikidata and Wikicite work, and we warmly welcome Wiki related proposals so please consider submitting content for this great event and joining us May 13-14, 2020, at Texas A&M University, College Station, TX.
Call for Presentations and Program Content
LD4 Conference on Linked Data in Libraries: May 13-14, 2020
Preconference workshops: May 12, 2020
Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA
Submission deadline: Friday, January 31st at 11:59pm PST
At the 2020 LD4 Conference, to be held May 13-14 at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, USA, participants will learn concrete ways that linked data benefits GLAM institutions, and discover pathways to participation in linked data. Whether you have already implemented linked data in your work or are just getting started, you will leave with a better understanding of what linked data is, how it can be used, and what you can do to get started or continue to incorporate linked data in your institutions or projects. By bringing together a broad range of perspectives, and centering diversity, equity, inclusion, and ethics in our discussions, we will create a community of practice for linked data in libraries.
We are delighted to have Karen Hwang as our conference kick-off speaker. Karen's practice as a metadata professional and archivist is rooted in concerns of discoverability and representation. She works to promote underrepresented histories through digital collections, and has explored ways to implement linked open data to enhance and boost the discovery of cultural heritage resources. An advocate for such strategies, she also comments on disparities encountered along the way. Read more about Karen's work on the LD4 Conference website: http://ld4.io.
To create a meaningful and engaging conference, we are seeking proposals for contributions to the program in the following areas:
* Workflows: how projects are accomplished and scaled
* Organizational implementation: organizational changes, skill sets, infrastructure, and partnerships necessary to implement linked data
* Impact: outcomes of implemented projects, linked data in discovery environments, and user experience research
* Show and tell: demonstrations, posters, URIs that you minted-no project is too big or too small
We encourage proposals for presentations or sessions for the conference in the following formats:
* delivering a traditional presentation (30 minutes including question-and-answer time)
* giving a short lightning talk (10 minutes)
* leading a hands-on tutorial (60-90 minutes)
* demonstrating a tool (20 minutes)
* facilitating work on a defined project in a collaborative environment (60-90 minutes)
* facilitating a formal discussion session with panelists or a more informal birds-of-a-feather type discussion session with conference participants (60 minutes)
* exhibiting a poster
We also welcome proposals for half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours) pre-conference workshops to be held on May 12, 2020. They should be targeted towards those with less experience in linked data, to prepare participants for the main conference content.
We especially encourage proposals (conference or pre-conference) from participants from groups and regions that are traditionally underrepresented in conferences related to linked data in libraries and other cultural heritage organizations, as well as proposals from early career professionals.
A $100 registration fee, collected upon acceptance of your submission and confirmation of your attendance, will help to cover conference expenses and will include food and beverages during morning and afternoon breaks as well as a lunch buffet for both conference days, May 13th and 14th. There will not be an additional registration fee for the pre-conference workshops.
Thanks to the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, a limited number of stipends are available to make participation possible for those who would not otherwise be able to attend. We ask applicants to first seek support from their home institutions and organizations and to apply for stipends only if you do not have other resources available. Stipend applications will be reviewed by the Program Committee and recipients selected based on merit and need.
To propose a session please complete the presenter proposal form<https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ebmQF48Gn9bag6x> (which includes the application for stipends) by Friday, January 31st at 11:59 pm PST
The Program Committee will select proposals and contact all applicants by February 21st. For those interested in attending without proposing a session, a separate call for participation will be announced in late February.
For questions about the LD4 Conference, please contact the conference co-chairs at ld4conf_chairs(a)googlegroups.com<mailto:ld4conf_chairs@googlegroups.com%3Cmailto:ld4conf_chairs@googlegroups.com>
