Hi Lydia,
Thank you for the information. I really like the subtitle «a database
for historians» :)
Is there any possibility to have in English the texts in the FactGrid
blog? I haven't enough knowledge of German to read fluently.
I would like to attend but it is impossible for me. Will you make any
report about the workshop in this mailing list or in Wikidata?
Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone :)
We are working with researchers from the University of Erfurt on a
project called FactGrid. The goal is to build a wiki for researchers
to collect data related to their research. It will use Wikibase as the
underlying technology, just like Wikidata. We'll start with data
related to the Illuminati based on the Gothaer Illuminati Research
Database. You can find blog posts with more details and musings here:
https://blog.factgrid.de I started a page on Wikidata about it here:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:FactGrid
My hope is that this will be one of the many Wikibase installations in
Wikidata's ecosystem in the future that is highly connected with
Wikidata and that Wikidata can partially import data from where wanted
and needed.
There will be a kick-off workshop at Wikimedia Deutschland's office in
Berlin on the 1st and 2nd of December. It'd be great if we have a few
more people there who want to drive this project forward and can help
with their experience on Wikidata. If you'd like to attend please let
me know. Details about the workshop are here:

Cheers
