Dear GLAM & Libraries enthusiasts,
This is a gentle reminder that you have 2 more weeks left to submit
sessions for Wikimania this year. I'm actually writing you as the "Space
Leader" for Education & Medicine, and would like to encourage you to submit
to those spaces too, as some initiative with GLAM or Libraries, overlap
with Education or Medicine, you get the idea. :)
The Education Space specifically will host specific sessions for these
ovelaping topics, so please note that if you have a GLAM & EDU / Libraries
& EDU / GLAM & Medicine initiative, you are welcome to post it under the
Education space and note what else it relates to.
We encourage all of you to consider UNESCO's SDGs while you post your
submissions, and pay attention to different instructions for different
spaces.
Here's a link to the Education Space submission page -
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Education
And here's a general link for submissions to all other Spaces -
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Submissions
We look forward to your submissions and encourage you to share it far and
wide to partners around the world. :)
Best,
Shani, on behalf of the Wikipedia & Education User Group.

Liebe BenutzerInnen, InteressentInnen und FreundInnen der ÖNB Labs!
Wir möchten über eine Veranstaltung der ÖNB Labs der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek<https://labs.onb.ac.at/de/> am 12./13. Juni 2019 informieren.
Die ÖNB Labs sind eine Webplattform zum Forschen, Experimentieren und kreativen Arbeiten mit digitalen Beständen und Metadaten der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek.
Die Veranstaltung besteht aus einem Workshop mit Gene Kogan und Sofia Crespo am 12.6. (nachmittags, 15:00-18:00 Uhr) und 13.6. (vormittags, 10:00-13:00 Uhr) und einem Labs-Symposium am 13.6. nachmittags, im Anschluss an den Workshop (14:30-18:30 Uhr).
Beim Workshop können TeilnehmerInnen Machine Learning-basierte Techniken erlernen und ausprobieren, um Datensets der ÖNB Labs zu synthetisieren, transferieren und zu remixen. Die Teilnahme ist frei, allerdings ist die TeilnehmerInnenanzahl auf 25 begrenzt. Der Workshop wird in Englisch abgehalten und erstreckt sich über beide Termine. Zum Workshop können Sie sich hier<https://www.eventbrite.de/e/machine-learning-using-the-onb-labs-tickets-616…> anmelden, wobei wir Sie bitten sich für beide Termine anzumelden wenn Sie teilnehmen wollen.
Das Symposium setzt die Präsentation neuer Services der ÖNB Labs und konkreter Projekte, die mit Daten der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek arbeiten mit digitalen Strategien im Bereich der Kulturdaten in Beziehung. Das Programm und die Möglichkeit zur Anmeldung finden Sie hier<https://www.eventbrite.de/e/onb-labs-symposium-tickets-61031085620>.
Wir freuen uns auf eine spannende Veranstaltung!
Herzlichen Grüße,
das ÖNB Labs Team
Hello everyone,
We are trying to reconnect with the Israeli GLAM institutions, to give them
some inspiration with the amazing work you all do with your local
institutions.
So we are looking for updated information about successful GLAM
collaboration with small institutions. It will be great if you can share
your work with us.
Thank you in advance,
Gitit Podemski Marketing & Events Coordinator

Hello all,
I'm a new Wikimedian in Residence as part of the Linked Data for Production project<https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=104568167>. One of the goals of the project is understanding how libraries can contribute to and leverage Wikidata as a platform for publishing, linking, and enriching library linked data. A number of institutions that are part of the grant are working on projects involving Wikidata and we decided to start an interest group with biweekly meetings to discuss various aspects of Wikidata in support of the projects. Possible topics include Wikidata best practices, documentation, communication channels, policies, and tools.
At each meeting, myself or a guest will present some relevant material related to the topic and we’ll discuss any issues members have encountered as well as helpful resources. At the first meeting on April 23rd, we’ll talk about the purpose and goals of the group as well as the Wikidata related projects that are part of the grant.
I'd like to invite any interested Wikimedian community members to join us. The call details and communication channels are below.
First call details:
April 23, 2019 9am PST / 12noon EST / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET
Agenda: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BuszEQQxlOY14hK60Fl7n8Huvh6jEWXre0-wSvp…
Join: https://stanford.zoom.us/j/204437188
Communication:
Ld4-wikidata Google group: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/ld4-wikidata
#wikidata channel on LD4 Slack: http://bit.ly/joinld4slack

Hello everyone! Just a quick update on Structured Data on Commons
deployments.
You may have noticed that we haven't deployed Depicts statements yet
yesterday, and this is due to an unrelated bug.
The release has been rescheduled to upcoming Tuesday.
Cheers! Sandra

Unfortunately the release was blocked by an unrelated bug [1], and must be
rescheduled. Releases are not done on Fridays, so the team has \rescheduled

Hello everyone,
One of the major additions of structured data to Wikimedia Commons is
arriving later this week: Depicts statements! See Keegan's message below
for more details and links.
With regards to visual arts, library and archival documents, and
specifically faithful representations of two-dimensional works and
documents: I would advise *not* to use the Depicts statement there, but to
wait for other statements to become available on Wikimedia Commons in
several weeks.
A separate property for that purpose has been created on Wikidata some time
ago: P6243 (digital representation of)
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P6243 - and it will only be possible
to use that in several weeks.
Depicts is probably appropriate for other cases though: in the case of
photographs of buildings, people, objects...
These are only rough first pointers. Modelling structured data on Commons,
and establishing best practices in that area, is - just like on Wikidata -
up to the community.
Many greetings! Sandra

Greetings,
(This message is also posted at the Commons Village Pump, and the SDC talk
page)
The Structured Data on Commons [0] team plans to release support for
depicts statements this week, on Thursday, 18 April. The community's
testing over the past several weeks [1] helped identify and fix issues
before launch, and the development team spent time setting up extensive
internal testing to make sure the release goes as well as possible.
This release is very simple, with only the most basic depicts statements
available. There is a significant amount of technological change happening
with this project, and this release contains a lot of background change
that the team needs to make sure works fine live on Commons before adding
further support. More parts to depicts statements, and other statements,
will be released within the next few weeks.
A page for depicts has been set up at Commons:Depicts [2] As I can't
actually write instructive Commons policy or guidelines, I encourage those
who have tried out simple depicts tagging add a few lines to the page
suggesting proper use of the tool. I also encourage the use to be
conservative at first, as we wait for more advanced features within the
coming month or two as additional statement support goes live.
I'll keep the community updated as the plans progress throughout the week,
the team will know better within the next day or two if things are
definitely okay to proceed with release.
