Hi Scott, Thank you for sharing these links. I am not familiar with the World University School, sounds like an interesting project as well. I would like tp take the time to review the links in more detail before brainstorming ideas.Thanks again for sharing!SylviaOn Fri, May 29, 2015 at 11:03 AM, Scott MacLeod <worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com> wrote:Hi Daniel, Sylvia and Wikidatans,
In what ways could wiki CC World University and School, planning a CC university (accrediting upon CC Yale OYC and CC MIT OCW in 7 languages to begin) in every nation state - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States - (and an online law school too in each countries' main language - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Law_School), and in CC Wikidata, best contribute to this project - and as a startup research university (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/STEM_Education_-_Science,_Technologies,_Engineering_and_Mathematics) also planned in all 7,929 languages (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages), each a wiki school for open teaching, learning and research, to begin?
Thank you.
Best,

I'd certainly like to see the WiR model expand more widely into research institutions (we have some examples already [1]) and beyond Wikipedia and Commons (even there, we have at least one example [2]). The possibility of a WiR at NIH has been discussed multiple times without any concrete results other than some draft specs from 2013 [3] and some discussion threads [4], but I think it's worth giving it another try now that Wikidata is starting to become useful beyond Wikimedia projects and that arbitrary access is arriving and units are in sight. > Daniel, I would love to learn more about your work with NIH and excited by > your offer to help with a pilot! My interactions with NIH started around 5 years ago when we began working on what is now the Open Access Media Importer bot [5]. In the process, I became an avid bug reporter and gave some talks there [6], which triggered the formation of a working group [7] that systematically addresses the issues that the bot has discovered (first published in a GLAM newsletter piece [8] that has since been cited in a related NISO recommendation [9]). At Wikimania in London, I organized a session with Phil Bourne [10] who runs the data science team at NIH [11], and in March this year, I joined his team as a researcher, focusing on four areas [12]: - exploring openness in research funding contexts - helping design a research data Commons - monitoring reuse of NIH resources - engaging communities around research data While none of this is specific to Wikimedia, we are quite conscious that there is considerable room for interaction with Wikimedia projects, especially with Wikidata, and happy to explore that room together, be it individually, through WikiProjects, hackathons or otherwise.
