Hello all,
I'm very excited to share with you the upcoming event that we are
organizing: *Data Reuse Days
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Data_Reuse_Days_2022>*, a
series of online sessions that will take place from March 14th to 24th.
During this event, we would like to highlight some great *projects and
applications that are powered by Wikidata's data*, and discuss with their
creators about the workflows they use, but also the challenges they may
have encountered on the way, how they interact with the Wikidata editors,
and how we could find ways to give back to the project and improve the data
quality together.
We also want to present various *tools that allow people to retrieve,
query, analyze and display data from Wikidata*, and we want to use this
event as an opportunity to get more people onboard with using Wikidata's
data, inside or outside the Wikimedia projects.
Building on the previous events we tried with this format (30 Lexic-o-days
and Data Quality Days), this event is taking place online, with a very
flexible program, where speakers and facilitators can schedule a session at
any time during the ten days of the event. The sessions can be
presentations, workshops, lightning talks, discussions, live-coding,
editathons, and most of them will take place on the open videocall platform
Jitsi.
The schedule is still under construction, and will evolve until a few days
before the start of the event: you can already check the scheduled sessions
on this page
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/event/wikidata-data-reuse-days-2022/>, and we
will add more on the way. If you are interested in presenting something
during the Data Reuse Days, you can make a proposal directly on the talk
page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Events/Data_Reuse_Days_2022>,
or reach out to me directly, so we can discuss the details together. We are
especially looking for proposals presenting tools and workflows to build an
application using Wikidata's data, examples of use of Wikidata's data on
other Wikimedia projects, as well as discussions about data reuse or data
quality.
If you have any questions or suggestions for the event, or if you would
like to help, feel free to reach out to me. I will certainly give you
updates closer to the event when the schedule will be populated.
Cheers,
