Dear colleagues,
We wanted to inform you about an article we have just published where we analyze the ontologies of Wikidata and the taxonomy of Wikipedia. We hope it is of interest to you: Centelles, M. and Ferran-Ferrer, N. (2024), "Assessing knowledge organization systems from a gender perspective: Wikipedia taxonomy and Wikidata ontologies", Journal of Documentation, Vol. 80 No. 7, pp. 124-147. https://doi.org/10.1108/JD-11-2023-0230
Additionally, we would like to share an event we have organized for June 5th on GLAM WIKI and gender: https://www.ub.edu/wikiwomen/2024/04/10/ii-international-convention-on-glam-...
