Amy Ruskin of Northeastern University Library, will speak on
the topic of
Wikidata vs. custom Wikibases: Community history case
studies, Boston’s
Chinatown. The Boston Research Center (BRC) is a digital
community history
and archives lab based in the Northeastern University
Library. One of our
current projects involves taking an inventory of historical materials
related to Boston’s Chinatown, and we have been using
Wikibase to store
multilingual data about the linked collections,
organizations, and people.
In this presentation, we will discuss our experience of
getting started
with a custom Wikibase and give an overview of our progress
so far on the
Chinatown Collections project. Amy Ruskin is the Data Engineer in the
Digital Scholarship Group in the Northeastern University
Library. She has a
Master's degree in Information Studies from McGill University and a
background in computer science and statistics. Registration link
