Hello everyone,

As a reminder, we're welcoming proposals for the Data Reuse Days online event until January 12th. On the talk page you can already see a few interesting proposals from the Wikidata community and reusers.

We're welcoming in particular:
- presentations/demos of tools using Wikidata's data (short 10min presentation, lightning talk style)
- discussions and presentations aiming to connect Wikidata editors with reusers
- explanation and demos on how to use a specific part of the technical infrastructure to reuse Wikidata's data (APIs, dumps, etc.)

If you have any questions or doubts before publishing a proposal, feel free to reach out to me.
Best,
Léa

Hello all,

I'm happy to announce that we started preparing our next Wikidata community online event: the Data Reuse Days 2025.


The event will be focusing on how people and organizations use Wikidata's data to build interesting applications and tools. It aims to bring together data reusers and editors to learn from each other and discover cool Wikidata-powered applications. We will also cover technical aspects of Wikidata and share research and ideas for the future of reusing Wikidata’s data.

The event is taking place online, we will have sessions taking place during periods of 2 hours through 8 days: from February 18 to 27, 2025. You will be able to join sessions live, or to watch the replay later on. You will find the schedule below on this page. The sessions take place in English, and are open to everyone interested in the topic of data reuse.

We are welcoming proposals from Wikidata editors and reusers who want to showcase their applications or facilitate discussions! You can propose sessions on the talk page until January 12th. We will then select some of them and add them to the schedule. We are especially welcoming demos of tools or applications using Wikidata's data, discussions between editors and reusers, and technical presentations.

While waiting for the event to take place, you can also rewatch some sessions from our last edition in 2022.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write on the talk page or to reach out to me directly. 

Best,
