Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago, we announced the WikiLearn course on how to upload and
edit files on Wikimedia Commons using OpenRefine.
- In English: OpenRefine for Wikimedia Commons: the basics
<https://learn.wiki/courses/course-v1:Wikimedia-Foundation+WMF_GLAM001+2023/…>
- In Spanish / Español*: OpenRefine para Wikimedia Commons: conceptos
básicos
<https://learn.wiki/courses/course-v1:Wikimedia-Foundation+WMF_GLAM001+2024_…>
- In French / Français*: OpenRefine pour Wikimedia Commons : les bases
<https://learn.wiki/courses/course-v1:Wikimedia-Foundation+WMF_GLAM001+2024_…>
We are now happy to announce the translation for Italian!
- In Italian / Italiano: Introduzione all'uso di OpenRefine per
Wikimedia Commons
<https://learn.wiki/courses/course-v1:Wikimedia-Foundation+WMF_GLAM001+2024_…>
This course can be easily translated into other languages (more about
the translation process here
<https://studio.learn.wiki/meta_translations/discover_courses/> and here
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tutorial_on_how_to_translate_course…>).
More translations are on the way, including Portuguese, which will be
launched soon.
All the versions of this course are available at any time for free. You
only need a Wikimedia account and the course can be followed at your own
pace, with computer-graded exercises. A certificate is awarded at the end
and an average of 6 to 8 hours is needed to complete the course.
Please, feel free to share these translations with people who speak these
languages and who you think might be interested in learning more
about OpenRefine or Wikimedia Commons.
Thank you so much, Marta Erica Arosio, for your amazing work translating
this course into Italian! 👏👏👏
Best,
Giovanna
* These two courses/languages had problems before and are now fixed and
fully available.

Dear all,
Apologies for cross-posting.
Wikimedia Germany is organising a special networking meeting for
German-speaking cultural heritage practitioners who use wikidata and
wikibase to build linked open cultural heritage data. Our goal is to
initiate a German language community of practice. If this sounds like you,
please take a look at what we have planned (details below) and consider
joining us in June or signing on to our mailing list
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/openglam-de.lists.wikimedia.org/>
to stay in the loop.
Thanks!
Lucy

ein Ort sein, an dem sowohl die Erfahrenen ihr Wissen teilen und
austauschen als auch die Anfänger*innen ihre ersten Schritte machen können.
Für diese ersten Netzwerktreffen möchten wir diejenigen zusammenbringen,
die bereits Erfahrung mit der Nutzung von Wikidata/-base für den Aufbau von
LOD zum kulturellen Erbe haben und daran interessiert sind, Gleichgesinnte
kennenzulernen. Egal ob institutioneller Datenverantwortlicher*innen,
Forscher*innen oder Freiwilliger*innen, schließen Sie sich uns an!
Ziel des 1-tägigen Treffen:
- Vernetzung von deutschsprachigen Fachleuten aus dem Kulturerbe-Sektor
und Community-Mitgliedern. Das Treffen bietet die Möglichkeit, Kolleg*innen
aus dem gesamten Bereich des kulturellen Erbes kennenzulernen, die mit
Wikidata und Wikibase arbeiten.
- Aufbau einer Community of Practice: Diese soll sich regelmäßig
treffen, um bewährte Praxisbeispiele auszutauschen und neue zu entwickeln,
Fachwissen zu erweitern, Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse zu teilen, Strategien
zur Interessenvertretung und Finanzierung zu diskutieren und Kooperationen

Dear colleagues,
With apologies for cross posting.
We are delighted to announce the May programme of the Sloane Lab and HDSM (Humanities Data Science & Methodology) Darmstadt online seminar series: Critical and creative engagement with historical data.
This seminar invites international speakers whose work is situated at the intersections of collections as data, cataloguing histories and critical archival studies, heritage infrastructures, critical digital heritage, and information science.
To register and view the full programme please visit Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/critical-and-creative-engagement-with-histor…
7th May, 15:30 BST - Whirling around a digital future – Dr Bethany Johnstone, UCL Dept of Information Studies
This paper begins by outlining research conducted before the pandemic that investigated the reality of a digital turn in dance. The research explored whether the digitization of dance archival content could offer dance archives a way to engage with online audiences, thus increasing the visibility and awareness of dance archive content to a newly established online community. The paper continues by providing new insights into how user behaviour can guide the sector's progress. It shares the findings from two different research projects conducted at University College London as the world begins to move towards a post-pandemic landscape where dance archives can no longer ignore the prospect of their own digital turn. The paper explores how dance archives can plan for a digital future while also satisfying the user’s quest for online dance performances.
14th May, 15:30 BST - Leveraging XR for the Promotion of Art and Cultural Heritage Dr Stella Sylaiou - International Hellenic University
This presentation describes the use of digital tools in the development of platforms for the promotion of arts and culture, with emphasis on the framework used for categorizing and contextualising artworks/artefacts. The presentation draws on the CREAMS project, which employs XR as a fulcrum for enhancing more meaningful engagement with contemporary art virtual exhibitions through curatorial innovations as well as the inclusion of multimodal contextual material. Frameworks for creating a nexus of resources that add context to exhibited art are developed, with respective data classification approaches. Moreover, we will discuss the inclusion of artefacts’ aspects related to intangible heritage, such as pertinent narratives, histories and functions.
21st May, 15:30 BST - Anti-Colonial Annotations of Sloane Jamaican references – Dr Dorothy Kyagaba Sebbowa - Sloane Lab Community Fellow / Makerere University
This project draws on the guide to the Sloane Database produced by the Natural History Museum before the Sloane Lab project as the key unit of analysis. It seeks to reinstate the experience of enslaved people and the history of slavery as the prism through which to explore and understand this data by examining the historicities, technologies and methodologies through the lens of Sloane's involvement in the local history of Jamaica and African enslavement. This project was prompted by the absence of this context in the publicly accessible data provided by the Natural History Museum about the Sloane Database prior to the Sloane Lab. The project inquiries into the ways that digitally mediated annotations can support the articulation and inscription of previously ignored/ marginalized anti-colonial readings of historical and curatorial-mediated archives. Historical hermeneutical methodological lens was employed to guide the critical perspectives and analysis.
28th May, 15:30 BST - Enframing narratives & post-Fordist Global South Digital Humanities ecosystem - Arjun Sanyal - University of Himachal Pradesh
In this presentation, I will expound a conceptual framework, informed by Paul Ricœur’s (1992) hermeneutical construction of “narrative identity” and Henry Giroux’s (1993) notion of Border Pedagogy, for rethinking the DH workflow, transnationally, for deconstructing Western DH grand narratives and creating counter-texts. By blending Ricœur’s hermeneutical technique, collaboratively, with digital multimedia storytelling tools and Giroux’s idea of Border Pedagogy, it is posited, will enable the re-contextualization of computational narratives, facilitated by GLAM professionals re-envisioning themselves as "border crossers" to reinforce the extant DH epistemic milieux, sociotechnically. In conclusion, this conceptual edifice is an exercise in participatory praxis, as a counterpoint to the techno-deterministic DH research ecosystem, for enabling intercultural dialogue and envisioning a new sociology of knowledge.
Best wishes

Hello,
What a great question! Thank you for that.
Yes, even though this is a self-paced course, we do provide a certificate
at the end. For that, you need to make sure to complete all assignments, to
watch all videos, and check (green check marks) all the pages. When
completed, you will be able to download your certificate, with your name
and date.
In addition, we also provide a template for a badge that you can add to
your user page on Meta-Wiki. This is also at the end of the course.
If you have any questions or find any difficulties in the process, let me
know and I can support you.
Best,
Giovanna

Do you receive a certificate after taking the course? I would like to take
this but need something to verify it being for professional development for
my job.
