Hi all,
The registration for Wiki Workshop 2022 [1] is now open. The event is
virtually held on April 25, 12:00-18:30 UTC and as part of The Web
Conference 2022 [2]. The plenary parts of the event will be recorded
and shared publicly afterwards.
Wiki Workshop is the largest Wikimedia research event of the year (so
far;) that the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation co-organizes
with our Research Fellow, Bob West (EPFL). This year, Srijan Kumar
(Georgia Tech) joined the organizing team as well.:) The event brings
together scholars and researchers from across the world who are
interested in or are actively engaged with research and development on
the Wikimedia projects.
While the details of the schedule are to be finalized and posted in
the coming week, we expect to generally follow the format of 2021 [3].
This year we received research submissions from more than 20 countries
and have accepted 27 research papers whose authors will present the
work as part of the workshop (If you are an author of an accepted
paper: congrats!:) . Our keynote speaker is Larry Lessig [4] and we
will have a panel to reflect on the decade anniversary of SOPA/PIPA,
moderated by Erik Moeller (Freedom of the Press). And of course, all
the music, games, etc. will remain. :)
If you are interested in participating in the live event, please
indicate your interest by filling out [5]. Anyone is encouraged to
register: you don't have to be a researcher. In the registration form,
please explain why attending the live event will support you in your
work on the Wikimedia projects and beyond.
If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Best,
Leila

Hello,
Is there a way to force the re-scraping of a Mix'n'match catalog ? The
catalog of a database I manage
(https://mix-n-match.toolforge.org/#/catalog/1679) has not been scrapped
since one month while the website is regularly updated.
Subsidiary question : Is there a way to set the frequency of the
re-scraping of a catalog ?
Thank you,

Hi all!
I am Lalit from India. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in IT,
currently working as a Software Developer at Redhunt Labs.
I will be working on Extending the WikidataComplete plugin to enable data
donations, recommendations, and gamification. My primary focus would be
implementing a web service interface for data donations to help extend the
Wikidata knowledge base.
My mentors for the project are Dennis Diefenbach, Andreas Both, Aleksandr
Perevalov, and Kunpeng GUO.
I have learned a lot by interacting and contributing to the Wikimedia
community, feeling special to get a chance to give something back to it.
Thanks to my mentors and coordinators from Wikimedia for their continuos to
support. Looking forward to a productive summer ahead ^_^
Thanks,
Lalit

We want to inform you that the submission deadline for the LinkedArchives
workshop in conjunction with the 26th International Conference on Theory

LinkedArchives @ TPDL 2022: call for contributions
We are thrilled to announce that the 2nd edition of the International
Workshop on Archives and Linked Data (https://linkedarchives.inesctec.pt/)
will be run in conjunction with the 26th International Conference on Theory
and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL 2022) (http://tpdl2022.dei.unipd.it/
).
The workshop aims to gather researchers and specialists who are engaged in
initiatives that cross Archives and the Semantic Web and those planning
similar initiatives in cultural heritage organizations.
We'd love to have your contributions, so please take a look at the call:
https://linkedarchives.inesctec.pt/#submission.
Please note that *29 May 2022* is the submission deadline.
The workshop will include invited talks, presentations of papers and demos,
as well as an opportunity for participants to meet and discuss latest
developments and opportunities in the field.
TPDL 2022 aims to be an in-presence event in Padua, Italy. TPDL will
publish the proceedings of the workshops and the doctoral consortium in the
CEUR Workshop Series. Extended versions of the best papers will be selected
to be published in the ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage
(JOCCH).
We look forward to receiving your submissions and seeing you in September!
