ISWC attracts a large number of high quality submissions every year and participants from both industry and academia. ISWC brings together researchers from different areas, such as artificial intelligence, databases, natural language processing, information systems, human computer interaction, information retrieval, web science, etc., who investigate, develop and use novel methods and technologies for accessing, interpreting and using information on the Web in a more effective way. Follow us: Twitter: @iswc_conf , #iswc_conf ( https://twitter.com/iswc_conf ) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13612370 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ISWConf/ Become part of ISWC 2019 by submitting to the following tracks & activities or just attend them!

Your help needed: Please fill out this questionnaire
by Shani Evenstein 16 Dec '18

16 Dec '18

Dear Wikidata enthusiasts, I have a huge favor to ask of everyone in this mailing list -- TLDR: *please fill out* *this questionnaire <https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/%E2%80%8Bhttps://goo.gl/forms/WMFb6j2mpG2H…!!>!* And now in more details: As some of you may know, I'm a PhD candidate at the School of Education, Tel Aviv University and my research focuses on Wikidata as a learning platform. To succeed in my research, I need lots of data about how users (such as yourselves) interact with Wikidata, so it would be of great help if you could take the time to fill out the questionnaire linked above. It's estimated that it should take between 15-30 minutes, depending on how detailed your answers would be. I'm striving for at least 100 replies, but this is one of those cases of "the more, the merrier", so every person filling it out is of huge help. Please feel free to ping me privately or send me an email if you have any questions, or if you are willing to participate in a follow up interview (there's also an option to mark that in the questionnaire itself). Thanks in advance for considering filling it out. I will be forever grateful to anyone who can help and promise to update you on my progress. :) Cheers, Shani. ----------------------------------------------- *Shani Evenstein Sigalov* EdTech Innovation Strategist, NY/American Medical Program, Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University.

Let's get serious about norms of behavior
by Asaf Bartov 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Hi folks. I think Wikidata needs clearer, explicit norms of behavior. And I think it needs them now, **before** it's a huge problem. Please take a moment to read my meta-proposal <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Behavior_norms>[1] and use the talk page to share your thoughts. I'd like participation to be as broad as possible, to ensure we get the best outcome for our community. Thanks! This e-mail is a courtesy notice to get as many people as possible aware of this discussion. But let's centralize discussion on-wiki, on the talk page, and not on this list. Cheers, A. [1] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Behavior_norms -- Asaf Bartov Wikimedia Foundation <http://www.wikimediafoundation.org> Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Help us make it a reality! https://donate.wikimedia.org

Resources for people organizing Wikidata trainings/presentations
by Léa Lacroix 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Hello all, Are you organizing Wikidata presentations, trainings or workshops, or planning to have one soon? Here are a few pages that can help you: - Wikidata:Training <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Training> provides a summary with a few useful links, ideas outline. Feel free to improve it! - The related talk page, Wikidata talk:Training <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Training>, aims to be the central discussion page for everyone interested or experienced in giving Wikidata trainings. Feel free to ask your questions there, and don't forget to watch the page and help others with their own questions - Wikidata:Planning a Wikidata workshop <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Planning_a_Wikidata_workshop> proposes an example of workshop outline, with suggestions of activities that you can also improve by adding your own - The Commons category Wikidata presentations <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikidata_presentations> and its subcategories are full of previous slides and documents that trainers used to present Wikidata - On Wikidata:Events <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events>, people can add the workshops or sessions that will take place in the near future. This is also the page that I watch to report the events in the weekly newsletter <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates/Next>, so if you want to make some noise about your next training, make sure to add it there :) If you have any useful links to add, feel free to share them on Wikidata talk:Training!

Miniature map for coordinate properties
by Léa Lacroix 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

Hello all, After we deployed the Commons miniature pictures for the image properties, some editors suggested to do something similar with maps. From Wednesday, December 12th, we will also have a miniature map displayed for the properties containing coordinates, like coordinate location (P625) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P625>. This feature uses mw:Extension:Kartographer <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Kartographer> and OpenStreetMap. Viewing the map directly in the item will help the editors to check quickly if the coordinates seem correct, and therefore improve the data quality. - <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_Wikidata_map_feature_2.p…> View in read mode - <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_Wikidata_map_feature_3.p…> View in edit mode - <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_Wikidata_map_feature_1.p…> Full screen with list of external maps Some useful features: - Double-click on the miniature map: display it in full screen - On full screen view: click on “external maps” to display different map services and links to many external maps - In edit mode: when adding or editing coordinates in the field, the maps is automatically updated to fit the coordinates you entered - The coordinates are still displayed under the map and link to Geohack If you have any questions or issues with this feature, let me know. You can also see the related ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T184933>. Cheers, -- Léa Lacroix Project Manager Community Communication for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
