- Blogs - Wikidata to split as sheer volume of information overloads infrastructure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2024-05-16/Op-Ed, by Bluerasberry https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Bluerasberry. "The split will create a WikiCite graph separate from the main Wikidata graph. The main Wikidata graph will retain content of broader interest, including items for authors, journals, publishers, and anything with a page in a Wikimedia project." - Learnings from AI and Heritage inclusive Metadata requires more than erasing stereotyping terms https://pro.europeana.eu/post/learnings-from-ai-and-heritage-inclusive-metadata-requires-more-than-erasing-stereotyping-terms - this article explores the presence of contentious terms in Wikidata labels. - Reconciling Shira: Wikibase Cloud and OpenRefine https://www.library.upenn.edu/kislak/judaicadh/blog/wikibasecloudreconcile - as part of the Shira project to document and digitise Penn University's Jewish music collections, the author gives a step-by-step process on installing OpenRefine for Wikibase Cloud instances. - Papers - Camillo Carlo Pellizzari di San Girolamo, *Storia della collaborazione tra Wikidata e le biblioteche della Rete URBE nel controllo di autorità* https://doi.org/10.36253/979-12-215-0356-2.17. Abstract: "The contribution draws a history of the presence of the identifiers of the authority records of the URBE network libraries https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q72283418 in Wikidata, and of the collaboration that has evolved since 2020 between the Wikidata community and the cataloguers of the URBE network libraries, relating to the harmonisation of these authority records with Wikidata and the improvement of the quality of the respective data. The first part of the contribution traces the main stages of collaboration in chronological order, while the second part of the contribution presents the main areas in which the collaboration materialises (or can materialise) in the daily authority work carried out by cataloguers in theme-based groupings". - Using Open Data to Automatically Generate Localized Analogies https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3613904.3642638. Numerical analogies that translate unfamiliar measurements into familiar reference objects (e.g., “275k sq miles is roughly as large as Texas”). By "Sofia Eleni Spatharioti, Daniel G. Goldstein, Jake M. Hofman" - Videos - ¿Cómo contribuir masivamente a Wikidata con OpenRefine? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7ke3gX5yy4 (Spanish) - As part of the Coordinate Me Campaign, this is a review of the OpenRefine tool for contributing large sets of data to Wikidata. - Patrimoine spolié : le projet ProvEnhance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUHnhG_XEp0 (French) - A seminae on the looted heritage project on the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium.
