Greetings everyone,
Over the summer and into the early fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Grouphttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hourshttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group/Wikidata_Working_Hours to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by adding data about diverse children’s bookshttps://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/literature-resources/ccbc-diversity-statistics/ from the Cooperative Children’s Book Center at the University of Wisconsin, Madison 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, love children’s books, or have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to.
The first Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover data clean-up, so we can get our spreadsheet of children’s book metadata ready for use during subsequent Working Hours.
Date and time: Friday, July 8, 2022 at 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 7:00pm CEST (Time zone converter)https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1657299634 Zoom link to join: https://stanford.zoom.us/j/97057921902?pwd=RmVHVmYrRUlkeXQ2aW5JZHZDZEo3dz09 Password: 877856
To get the most out of this Working Hour, please install the most recent version of https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__openrefine.org_&d=DwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=ZKZdijZcvSwDlmLpUMf9GVdOigjGjnqPOHQla31EGfM&m=GdaXTwn1pYwERet5rE25yMixZ1bT6YZUyRe7D9wrxfQ&s=CJuXHW5Ov3xG1ThAwMWlVGXqe_QsgRJgtQLP-ANCzPY&e= OpenRefinehttps://openrefine.org/ in advance. Detailed installation instructions here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.openrefine.org_manual_installing&d=DwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=ZKZdijZcvSwDlmLpUMf9GVdOigjGjnqPOHQla31EGfM&m=GdaXTwn1pYwERet5rE25yMixZ1bT6YZUyRe7D9wrxfQ&s=XCdgd32IC2phDUT7ETACxRdxR3aZOVItwgNxSbB1_GI&e= https://docs.openrefine.org/manual/installing If you run into any issues, you can email Kyla Jemison (kyla.jemison[at]gmail.com) with questions.
Subsequent Working Hours will cover reconciliation with Wikidata in OpenRefine, creating and editing items manually in Wikidata for authors, publishers, and bibliographic works and editions, uploading batch metadata to Wikidata using OpenRefine and Quickstatments, and using SPARQL to query and visualize the data we’ve added to Wikidata. You don’t have to attend every session to benefit from the series,but attending whenever possible will offer the best experience in terms of applying skills and tools to a single data set. We’ll also record the demo portions of each Working Hour, so you can always catch up on anything you miss.

Hi Hilary,
Any chance of moving the hours around from time to time? UTC 17:00 is 5 am in NZ, and even earlier for Australians. We have some keen OpenRefine and Wikidata people here who would love to join in I’m sure. Myself, I’ll try to be up by 5:00 to participate in this, as it sounds like a great project.
Cheers,
