Hi everybody,
There’s a workshop on describing images bulk-uploaded from Flickr to Wikidata tomorrow.
This might be very specifically relevant only to my interests, but I thought I’d pass it
along in case anybody is interested.
Cheers,
Gaurav

Hi everyone,
During October, we are promoting the Image Description Month
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image_Description_Month>. 🎉
On Friday, October 27, at 6:00 PM UTC, the Biodiversity Heritage Library is teaming up
with OpenRefine and the Culture and Heritage team to host a data modeling workshop + demo
using OpenRefine to clean and convert BHL's Flickr data to linked open data.
In this event, participants from the OpenRefine Train-the-Trainer course
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:OpenRefine/Train-the-trainer_program_2023-24>
and editors interested in biodiversity are invited to analyze, discuss, model, and work on
preparing the metadata of some Biodiversity Heritage Library
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Biodiversity_Heritage_Library> images
that were available on Flickr. The goal is to make these files ready to be used during the
TTT course in November, but also to learn more about Structured Data on Commons.
